Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have stirred controversy and raised concerns within the royal family with their recent actions, prompting reactions from royal experts and historians.
According to royal author Angela Levin, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have displayed "disrespect and hatred" towards the monarchy, further jeopardizing any chances of reconciliation with the royal family. Levin believes that Meghan's influence has fueled Harry's negative sentiments towards the institution, leading to a rift that may be irreparable.
Levin expressed disappointment over Meghan and Harry's actions in Jamaica, where they engaged with anti-monarchy politicians and figures. Their association with individuals advocating for the end of King Charles' rule in Jamaica has been perceived as provocative and disrespectful by some commentators.
Sarah Vine, writing for the Daily Mail, criticized the couple for exacerbating anti-royalist sentiment within the Commonwealth and beyond. She accused Meghan and Harry of contributing to tensions and divisions rather than fostering unity and stability.
The couple's decisions and public appearances suggest a growing disinterest in maintaining ties with the monarchy, signaling a potential escalation in tensions between them and the royal family.
As the Sussexes continue to navigate their post-royal life, their actions and statements have far-reaching implications, shaping public perceptions and influencing discourse surrounding the monarchy and its future role in society.
