The Royal Family has made a surprising decision following the alleged disobedience of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
A significant move was observed on the official website of the Royal Family, where the Duke’s notable statement regarding his relationship with the Duchess and his criticism of the press for their racially charged commentaries about the former Suits actress has been removed.
Back in November 2016, amidst the growing public interest in the romance between the Wales, the Duke of Sussex urged Jason Knopf, who served as the Communications Secretary at Kensington Palace, to issue a statement.
The Wayback Machine, an online archive, last recorded an accessible version of this statement on December 3, 2023.
However, attempts to access the link have proven futile, indicating its removal sometime after the initial archiving on December 10.
Despite the unavailability of the link, it is confirmed that the message was previously published on the official Royal Family website.
Recent reports suggest that a significant event occurred within the past week, leading to a wave of threats and physical harm directed towards the Duchess.
The onslaught included defamatory headlines in national newspapers, racially motivated opinion pieces, and the blatant sexism and prejudice displayed by online trolls and article commentators.
Many distressing incidents have taken place behind the scenes, shielded from public view.
These include ongoing legal battles to prevent defamatory stories from being published, the Duchess’s mother navigating through intrusive photographers at her doorstep, journalists and paparazzi attempting unauthorized entry into her home, as well as the unsettling offers made to her ex-partner by certain media outlets.
Expressing deep concern for the well-being of Ms. Markle, the Duke openly acknowledges his disappointment in his inability to protect her from such relentless scrutiny and harassment.
He reflects on the unfair treatment she has endured since the early days of their courtship, recognizing the arguments that dismiss such challenges as part of the territory for someone in her position.
However, the Duke vehemently opposes this notion, emphasizing that the stakes are high not just for Ms. Markle but for both of them.
He rejects the idea that these intrusions and attacks are acceptable consequences, highlighting the gravity of the situation they are facing.
