In a landscape already fraught with tension, the Duchess of Sussex appears to be firmly planting her feet, showing little interest in mending ties with the royal family.
Despite persistent nudges from her husband, Prince Harry, urging her to bridge the growing rift, insiders suggest that she has no intention of taking that leap.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams weighs in on the situation, asserting that Meghan Markle’s recent interview with CBS Good Morning America may have done more harm than good.
The Duchess openly discussed her struggles during her time as a full-time working royal, and according to Fitzwilliams, the fallout from her revelations has been significant.
Fitzwilliams didn’t hold back when he expressed his views on the timing of the Sussexes’ comments.
He pointed out that bringing up their feud with the royal family feels particularly inappropriate, especially given the current health concerns surrounding both King Charles and the Princess of Wales.
It’s as if the Sussexes are throwing fuel on a fire that could use a little dousing.
The claims made by Meghan regarding her mental health and suicidal thoughts during that CBS interview are particularly grave.
Fitzwilliams emphasized that such serious allegations against the royal family can only serve to further entrench divisions rather than heal them.
It raises the question: how can any reconciliation occur when past wounds are continually reopened?
The royal expert argued that the ongoing narrative surrounding the Sussexes’ grievances does nothing but deepen the chasm between them and the monarchy.
If Meghan continues to engage in conversations that dredge up painful memories, it seems unlikely that any sort of relationship could ever be salvaged.
