Royal expert Richard Eden claims "all is not well" with the Duke and
Duchess of Sussex in the wake of Meghan Markle's animated show being
cancelled and her appearance at Prince Harry's recent polo event
A
royal expert said there is "a bit of trouble" between Meghan Markle and
Prince Harry after her Netflix show was cancelled.
The Duchess of
Sussex was pictured supporting her husband at a polo event in California,
after her animated series Pearl was axed.
As a result,
specialists have claimed "all is not well" with the pair.
News
that Prince Harry's memoir has also been delayed is believed to have
increased tensions royal expert Richard Eden claims.
Speaking on the Palace Confidential podcast, he suggested the
couple were "overextending themselves" with the ever-increasing commitments
they have signed up for to keep their celebrity status.
Richard
said: “I do sense there’s a bit of trouble there really.
“All
these pictures have started appearing of Meghan turning up at the polo,
handing over trophies and this sort of thing.”
“I remember
writing about the polo back in Britain years ago that Meghan wasn’t very
keen for Harry to play in polo matches unless it could be guaranteed that it
would raise £1million for charity each time.
“She felt that it
was kind of beneath him to be playing in matches that would just make a few
thousand pounds when he should be going for the big ticket matches.
“But we’ve got Meghan turning up at all these events, handing
over trophies, the same way she turned up at the Invictus Games and to me,
that’s an indication that all’s not well."
Richard claims the
appearance isn't the norm for the pair - adding they've only attended
significant events together in the past.
The couple have been
attending a number of events before they jet back to the UK to celebrate the
Queen's Platinum Jubilee weekend.
There has been concern and growing speculation about when Prince Harry will release his memoir, with not date yet announced.
The expert added: “There’s a lot that seems to be in flux, and it wouldn’t surprise me if that’s the case with the book as well."
Speaking on the same podcast, royal commentator Robert Hardman
agreed with his counterpart.
He said: "I think it’s worth
remembering that everything to do with Prince Harry he likes to keep it
close to his chest, he likes to keep us guessing.
“I think for
the moment there’s probably a PR strategy being drawn up. I don’t think it
means the book’s not happening, I just think we’re going to have to
wait.”
Robert did, however, accept that the couple were now in
the business of needing to frequently come up with new ideas for content.
He
added: “If you’re living the Californian dream, you’ve got to keep coming up
with new stuff, you’ve got to be of the moment.
"Royalty is very
different, so yes they are having to live their lives at a different
pace."
