A friend of the Prince of Wales recently disclosed his intentions to reduce the number of working royals in a conversation with the Daily Mail, causing a stir among royal enthusiasts.
A source has revealed the Sussexes’ shocked reaction to this prospect as they face a ticking clock to mend relationships with the royal family.
“At first, they were just so relieved to cut ties with The Firm that they were indifferent to Charles’ slimmed-down monarchy plans,” the insider told In Touch Weekly. “They were too busy starting a new life in America.”
However, as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex now realize “life on their own is harder than they thought,” it might already be too late for any reconsideration. “They’re running out of time if they ever want to reestablish their royal standing.”
“They’ve faced numerous setbacks and embarrassments,” the source admitted. “At one point or another, they must have felt overwhelmed financially and creatively.”
“Harry and Meghan are never coming back to The Firm — and even if they could, it’s unlikely they would be welcomed back as working royals with the same privileges they once had,” the source added. “The consensus is that Harry and Meghan made their choice and now must live with it.”
