Prince Harry has ‘frozen out’ his friends after marrying Meghan Markle


He was formerly known as the ‘wild child’ of the royal family but it seems Prince Harry has left his partying days far behind him.

So much so, that it’s being claimed the 34-year-old prince has ‘frozen out’ some of his best mates in favour of his new, relaxed cottage life with his wife, Meghan Markle.

Amongst those who Prince Harry has decided to cut from his inner circle is reportedly his best friend, Tom Inskip, who was previously known as Harry’s right-hand man.

Tom, who is affectionally known as Skippy by his friends, has been by Harry’s side through thick and thin, with the pair meeting at Eton when they were young.

The banker, who is now married to Hon Lara Hughes-Young, was even there when Prince Harry was famously snapped swimming naked in Las Vegas.

“Like several others who were considered a questionable influence on Harry during his bad old bachelor days, Tom has been dropped, even though he himself now has a lovely wife, Lara,” a friend told The Express.

“It’s all part of Meghan’s quiet airbrushing out of Harry’s old posse.

“She doesn’t want temptation – of any sort – being put in his way while they concentrate on starting a family.”

Indeed, it’s previously been claimed that Prince Harry pulled out of a Christmas hunt with his family because Meghan wasn’t happy with him being part of it and it was speculated that Meghan put Harry on a diet before their May wedding.

Meghan herself is even reported to have frozen out some of her former friends now that she’s a royal.

“Meghan has lost touch with some of her close friends from before the wedding, which has been tough. She’s finding it hard to know who to trust,” a royal insider told People Magazine.

Her fear of stories being leaked to the press no doubt stems from her father, Thomas Markle, and her half-sister, Samantha Markle’s, constant stream of interviews about her over the past few months.

“The beginning of marriages are not that easy, but to have that impetus of your own family being disloyal is horrible and embarrassing,” the source said.
