The couple (below) faced criticism

on their return to the UK after

their holiday in Ibiza (left)

to envisage how the latest publicity

could have failed to affect them.

‘Meghan wouldn’t have been able

to get through any of this if it wasn’t for

Harry by her side,’ says Omid. ‘Not just

as moral and emotional support, but

as someone who really understands it.

Their relationship is as strong as ever.’

Also on hand to offer support will

be Meghan’s sister-in-law the Duchess

of Cambridge. At the time of going to

press, the Cambridges were believed

to be heading to Balmoral to stay at

Prince Charles’s Birkhall property on

Her Majesty’s Highlands estate. And if

it was up to Kate, Meghan, Harry and

Archie would also be joining them.

‘Kate’s the only person on the

planet who has any idea what it’s like

marrying a young, popular prince,’

says Duncan. ‘So she’ll be reassuring

Meghan that she’s not always going to

be hitting the headlines for negative

reasons. She’s also really keen that

the cousins become close. She wants

Archie to see her three children as his

big brothers and his big sister.’

In other royal news, Duncan has also

rubbished claims that Harry and his

brother, the Duke of Cambridge, are

feuding, sparked by a new Channel 5

documentary called William & Harry:

Princes At War. ‘They’re not at war,’

Duncan says. ‘In fact, I’ve been told

they’re in touch most days.’ OK!
