Bower, known for his investigative works including 'Rebel Prince,' offered his insights to Closer Magazine, emphasizing Meghan's purported longing to ascend within the royal hierarchy. According to Bower, Meghan wishes to surpass her current fifth position in the succession line and ultimately aims to be the Queen.
Contrasting Meghan's ambitions, Bower highlighted Kate Middleton's contentment and success within the royal family. "Kate Middleton has everything she wants," he stated, pointing out that Meghan had initially hoped to assert her own way after marrying Prince Harry but encountered challenges in navigating the royal traditions.
"There’s only one way, and that’s the royal way," Bower remarked, suggesting that Meghan's attempts to redefine her role within the royal family were met with resistance.
Bower concluded that Meghan's endeavors ultimately undermined her status, asserting that she "just cannot win."
In contrast, another royal expert, Ingrid Seward, offered a different perspective during an interview with GB News. Seward claimed that the Sussexes were interested in reuniting with King Charles in 2024, pointing out that the couple might need the king's support and blessing more than he needs them.
The dynamics between the Sussexes, the Cambridges, and King Charles have been marked by a bitter rivalry since Harry and Meghan's departure from the Windsor family in 2020. However, as reunion speculations arise, the royal family faces complexities in managing relationships and expectations, particularly amid calls for King Charles to abdicate in favor of Prince William.
