In the midst of a longstanding feud, allegations have surfaced claiming that the Duchess of Sussex strategically used her relationship with the Duke to influence the royal family.

Following their decision to step down as senior royal members in 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been openly critical of the monarchy.

Prince Harry has publicly criticized his father, the King, and his brother, the Prince of Wales, whereas Meghan Markle has voiced feeling silenced within the royal institution.

Royal expert Tom Quinn suggests that the Duchess played a significant role in exacerbating tensions between the Duke and his family.

According to Quinn, the Duke, accustomed to his brother’s occasional outbursts, was led to believe by Meghan that his family constantly belittled him – a notion previously foreign to him.

Quinn points to the highly publicized interview with Oprah Winfrey as the turning point where Meghan’s alleged manipulative tactics came to light.

During the explosive interview, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made shocking revelations about their time as part of the royal family.

Meghan accused the Princess of Wales of causing her distress days before her wedding, and disclosed discussions about potential concerns regarding the skin color of their son, Archie.

The royal family responded to the interview with an unusual statement expressing deep sadness over the challenges faced by the Duke and Duchess in recent years, particularly noting the issue of race raised during the conversation.

Buckingham Palace commented on the matter, emphasizing the seriousness with which the family is taking the allegations, despite potential differences in recollection.

Queen Elizabeth II conveyed that the Duke, Duchess, and Archie will always hold a special place within the royal family.

It was rumored that Princess Catherine influenced the inclusion of the phrase “some recollections may vary” in the statement, suggesting that history will ultimately judge the accuracy of the claims made by the Duke and Duchess.

Insiders revealed that Kate Middleton advocated for a more tempered response from the royal family, fearing that without such language, the public might accept the Sussexes’ narrative as truth.

The statement issued by the palace was carefully crafted to address the concerns raised by the Duke and Duchess while maintaining a sense of dignity and respect.

As the dust settles on this latest chapter in the ongoing royal drama, the impact of these revelations on the monarchy’s legacy remains to be seen.
