Prince Harry, Meghan Markle 'Scared To Death' After Standing Up Against Monarchy, Queen Elizabeth II

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are allegedly terrified to death after "standing up for what is right" and for stepping back from the monarchy.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex spoke several times in recent months, presumably unleashing their authority as autonomous royal family members. Although exercising one's right to free speech is permissible, they went too far by criticizing Her Majesty and the monarchy.

Following those multiple appearances, a new report claims that Prince Harry and Meghan are concerned about the ramifications of their activities.

A close acquaintance claimed that they are terrified of the monarchy's complicated structure, especially after sitting down for an interview with Oprah Winfrey.

Despite this, the couple appears to have no regrets about their current lifestyle choices.

"What started as a fairytale romance became a story that reinvented the genre - a self-made, independent woman playing an equal role alongside her knight," the source told an online tabloid.

The new information comes after news sites reported that Queen Elizabeth II intends to sue the pair for their irresponsible actions. Senior palace advisers, according to another online tabloid, are already in talks with libel experts.

According to the outlet, Queen Elizabeth II and the royal family have established limits on how much they will receive from the two. The proposed case will apparently remind the two that such actions would no longer be tolerated.

For what it's worth, the duchess said that living among royal family members drove her suicidal.

The queen's team will apparently send the legal warnings to Penguin Random House, which will publish Prince Harry's memoir next year.

While the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are concerned about what will happen to them, a royal author pointed out that they live in a safe environment.

Omid Scobie told People that Prince Harry and Meghan are eager to resume their duties following their holiday.

"They're a couple who do very well in those moments of human interaction. They need to be on the ground," the royal author said. He added that they are currently in a different but healthier place.

Scobie co-wrote "Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family," which will be reissued in paperback on August 31 with a unique epilogue.
