Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are reportedly struggling with the royal rift behind closed doors, believes the couple's 'Spiritual guru' Deepak Chopra.
It comes as the Duke of Sussex prepares to attend the King's Coronation alone.
Following Wednesday's announcement that only Harry, 38, will head to the UK for the momentous ceremony, Deepak claims the pressure and drama surrounding their highly publicised media projects are beginning to take their toll on the couple, reports the Mirror.
Meghan, 41, is set to remain in California with the pair's two children, with eldest son Prince Archie's fourth birthday landing on the same day as the Coronation.
Alternative medicine practitioner Deepak has revealed how he feels the events are affecting the couple and their wellbeing.
He said that the couple is "struggling" and added: "I hope they get through it light-hearted. I think there's too much drama around them - people should mind their own business," reports the Daily Mail.
The guru added that he thinks it would be best if the couple did not publically address their fallout as he feels doing so would bring further backlash.
"My advice is to ignore it because if you react you'll just aggravate the situation," he said. "If you ignore it, people can't say anything, then they'll stop."
His words come following the couple’s biographer Omid Scobie confirmed Archie’s birthday “played a factor in the decision” that Meghan would stay in California
The scribe said he fully expects it to be a "fairly quick trip to the UK" for Harry as a royal insider revealed they think the King will be "delighted" to have his youngest son in attendance.
The source said: "The King has previously spoken of loving both his sons and that remains the case.
"Harry would have deeply regretted not attending the ceremony.
"Archie’s birthday has provided the perfect excuse for Meghan to stay behind and, with all things considered, it’s probably the right thing to do."
