The ongoing feud between Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and the royal family has reached a boiling point. King Charles has taken the significant step of formally excluding the Sussexes from all future royal events, further stoking the tensions within the family.
Earlier this year, reports emerged indicating that the Sussexes were cautioned to uphold exemplary behavior, as any misstep could lead to their exclusion from forthcoming royal occasions. Communication between the king and his second son seems to be limited, if not nonexistent, with legal representatives becoming the primary intermediaries.
In response to the persistent attacks from the couple, the British monarchy has adopted a strategy of silence, a familiar approach to rumors and controversies.
Harry and Meghan's recent endeavors, including the much-discussed 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, have cast a shadow over the monarchy. The couple alluded to issues of racial sensitivity and inflexibility within Harry's family. Given their proclivity for publicity, the royal household anticipates further accusations from the Sussexes.
Another individual with insights into royal affairs disclosed that King Charles has endorsed a strategy that aligns with the palace's customary response to such circumstances. Despite assertions from those close to the Sussexes that they've moved on from discussing royal matters, their legal battles against the British tabloid industry and Harry's return to the UK to defend some of his claims suggest that their grievances may persist.
The actions of the Sussexes have also had repercussions within their inner circle. Recent rumors suggest that the fallout from the Oprah interview has left a significant impact on Prince Harry. This has strained relationships with both friends and family, as some feel that public sentiment in Britain has turned against him.
As the situation remains fraught with tension, the resolution to this ongoing royal drama remains uncertain.
