Even miles apart, Prince Harry remains under the thumb of the “controlling and high-maintenance” Meghan Markle. He has been enjoying his newfound freedom, jetting across the globe without his wife.
“He has to check in regularly and stick to her road trip rules, including a strict 11 p.m. curfew,” an insider told RadarOnline. Though Harry has been making frequent trips abroad, including a recent visit to South Africa in October, Meghan stayed behind in Montecito, California, with their two children, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3.
These solo excursions are reportedly becoming a “regular thing” for Prince Harry, with “plenty more solo trips on his docket”. “He’s very keen to make a return to his family, that’s partly why he’s going home to visit so often. His intention is to spend a lot more time there,” a source revealed.

“She’s made it very clear she doesn’t want to go to England, so the only option for Harry is to go without her,” the source added. While Meghan seems confident that Harry won’t stray while abroad, she’s still wary of him being out late at night. “There’s no doubt it’s difficult for her to have him away so often, and she keeps close tabs on what he’s up to.”
Meghan’s concerns revolve particularly around the 2012 scandal in which photos surfaced of Duke playing nude billiards with women in a Las Vegas hotel room.

“So going to parties or nightclubs or anything of that nature are totally off limits.”
