Prince Harry, once surrounded by a close-knit circle of friends, seems to have fallen out with long-time companion Nacho Figueres.
Rumors are swirling that the two have had a falling out, resulting in Harry no longer playing on Nacho’s team, Los Padres.
The decision to part ways was reportedly influenced by the negative publicity that the toxic duo attracted.
Adding fuel to the fire, Megan Markle, Harry’s wife, attempted to take control of Nacho’s team’s party gatherings and business structure.
Last May, during an event at the Santa Barbara Polo and Racket Club, Megan presented her husband and his polo team, Los Padres, with a trophy.
As she kissed Harry on stage, the Duke proceeded to instruct his young teammates on how to lift the trophy.
However, before he could do so, Mr. Figueres swooped in, lifted the trophy above his head, and passed it to the royal.
Unfortunately, in the process, Megan ended up being squashed between Harry and a teammate.
It is believed that Nacho’s wife grew frustrated with Megan’s desire to hog all the attention during the prize-giving ceremony.
She ensured that she was the only “wag” (wives and girlfriends) on stage with the guys.
This incident, coupled with other factors, may have contributed to the rift between Nacho and Harry.
Nacho and Harry’s friendship dates back to 2007 when Nacho became an ambassador for Harry’s charity, Centrebell, which provides support to individuals affected by HIV.
However, since marrying Megan Markle, Harry has undergone a significant transformation.
According to close friends who spoke to the Mail on Sunday, the Harry they once knew has changed beyond recognition.
The signs of this personal transformation were evident from the early days of their relationship.
One particular incident occurred during a breakfast buffet on a shooting weekend.
Harry chose to take bowls of granola upstairs to his bedroom instead of joining his friends for a meal of bacon and eggs.
When questioned about this behavior, he mentioned sunrise yoga with Megan and their preference for having breakfast alone in their bedroom.
Another revealing moment took place at a dinner party in London.
Despite British custom dictating that couples should sit apart, Megan became upset when she couldn’t sit next to Harry.
However, Harry dismissed her behavior, much to the disappointment of his friends.
A source described the scene, stating, “She made quite the scene…she wanted to sit next to Harry and felt insulted that she wasn’t allowed to.
We looked to Harry for an explanation, and he just said, ‘I know, but she’s so hot.'”
By the time Harry and Megan got married in May 2018 and attended the Van Straubenzie carols together that Christmas, the transformation was complete.
Friends believe that the poverty-focused speech Harry delivered during the carol service was unfamiliar to him and may have been written by Megan.
One former friend who attended the event remarked, “It’s a noble cause, and he clearly heard it from Megan.
But this carol service wasn’t the time or the place.
He knew full well the crowd was made up of old dorks who would squirm in their seats.”
It appears that most of the friends who were present that night have lost contact with Harry.
Interestingly, none of Harry’s friends appeared in the Netflix documentary that aimed to tell the couple’s truth.
This absence speaks volumes about the current state of Harry’s friendships and the impact his transformation has had on those relationships.
