"William's new title was discussed in the 'emergency meetings' so Harry isn't surprised by the news. But he's an extremely sensitive guy — an over thinker who takes things personally."

The timing of the announcement came only days after Harry landed in Canada. Despite the Queen making a public statement that she supports his decision for financial independence and a life balanced between North America and Canada, the source admits:

"[Harry] thinks the royals could be throwing shade at him, but is trying not to dwell on it."

In the ABC News special, "Royal Divide: Harry, Meghan and the Crown," a longtime friend to Harry, Nacho Figueras revealed that he had been going through a difficult time dealing with the fallout of his royal exit, Nacho said:

"I spoke to Harry a few days ago. He has suffered a lot from all of the things that have happened to him. He suffers a lot from people judging him."

While William is stepping into a new role with his latest title, TMZ reports, Meghan and Harry were "shocked" to find out that they had been stripped of their titles as Commonwealth Youth Ambassadors

The couple's surprise came after they were willing to give up their titles of His/Her Royal Highness, but did not expect to give up their role in the Commonwealth.
