Buckingham Palace Faces Fresh Challenges as Legal and Media Storms Brew
Meghan Markle's relationship with King Charles and Queen Camilla remains frosty, as insiders confirm the Duchess has no direct communication with the monarchs.
The rift has cooled to what experts describe as a "fragile ceasefire," with both sides refraining from public clashes. However, King Charles is reportedly frustrated by Harry’s ongoing legal battle over UK security. The Duke of Sussex is appealing the Royal and VIP Executive Committee’s decision to revoke his automatic right to police protection, a matter tied to Buckingham Palace.
The strained relations were highlighted in May when King Charles notably skipped meeting Harry during his brief visit to London. Royal expert Kate Mansey, writing for The Times, emphasises that the King is withholding further communication with Harry until the legal dispute concludes.
Meanwhile, the Sussexes have taken a quieter approach recently, stepping back from high-profile interviews. But with Netflix projects slated for 2024, including a behind-the-scenes look at Harry’s polo ventures and Meghan’s lifestyle series, this pause may only be temporary.
For now, Meghan remains silent, and the royal family braces for what could come next. As Mansey puts it, "There is no communication with the King and Queen."
