Having a narcissistic spouse means being cut off from friends and family… no wonder Harry feels isolated
Just a corollary to my previous post. Seriously speaking, Harry looks lonely and he must miss having friends. Recall that the Hollywood Reporter article mentions he has no pals, and he’s isolated.
This doesn’t surprise me because narcissists cut you off from your loved ones to ensure they have greater control over you.
We saw how Meghan did it in real time in the Netflix documentary - when Harry mentioned William, Meghan said “It’s your brother! I’m not going to say anything about your brother but it’s so obvious.”
This was when they found out Jason Knauf gave statements in Meghan’s privacy court case.
Meghan’s accusation against William is a classic narcissist tactic.
They pretend not to blame a loved one outright (“I won’t say anything”) but then plant doubts (“It’s so obvious”). They also infuse their allegations with so much emotion, that you avoid mentioning that person again, knowing it will bring on a torrent of negativity.
The narcissistic spouse also makes everyone the enemy. I’m the only one on your side. It’s us against the world.
No doubt whenever Harry seems to make a new friend, Meghan will find a way to criticise them and it’s easier for Harry to just isolate himself.
Sadly Harry is stuck with her because they have kids and also because Meghan has molded him psychologically to feel dependent on her. So although he looks more visibly relaxed without Meghan, and though he may wish for work separation and all that, they will stay together in the long term. It takes a lot of strength to leave a narcissistic partnership.
