Buckingham Palace is buzzing with anticipation as staff members are instructed to prepare complicated legal documents for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s official 12-month review of their Megxit plans.
However, sources reveal that things are not looking good for the runaway royals as Queen Elizabeth II is ready to sever ties with them.
Despite Harry and Meghan’s promises to uphold the values of the monarchy when they announced their departure from the UK and relocation to America, the Queen feels deeply disappointed by their actions.
The couple recently signed a lucrative $200 million deal with Netflix, despite the streaming service’s TV series “The Crown” damaging the royal family’s reputation.
They have also openly supported the Democrats in the US election and secured a podcast deal with Spotify to discuss personal issues.
The Sussexes’ actions have left the Queen unimpressed.
In fact, she blocked Harry’s request to have a wreath laid on his behalf in the UK during Remembrance Day.
According to an insider, her decision was swift and decisive.
This move was met with retaliation from Harry, who launched the Sussexes’ website, Archewell, which pays tribute to his wife and late mother, Princess Diana, while snubbing his father and grandmother who raised him.
A source close to the situation revealed that this snub hurt the Queen the most, considering how much effort she has put into helping Harry find his place within the family.
The Queen is not willing to be pushed into anything she is not comfortable with, despite Harry expressing his desire for more responsibility.
In fact, there is speculation that the pendulum may swing the other way, with Harry facing a potential ban from all royal duties and the loss of his allowances, properties, access to palaces, and even his dukedom.
A source suggests that the Queen has sought watertight legal advice, indicating that this won’t be an easy fight.
The British public seems to be in full support of the Queen’s decision, as a recent poll conducted by Good Morning Britain revealed that 72 percent of 53,600 voters are in favor of stripping the Sussexes of their titles.
There is a growing fury among the public towards Harry for “selling out” and becoming Meghan’s Hollywood accessory.
Angela Levin, Harry’s biographer, expressed her disappointment in a scathing op-ed in London’s Sunday Telegraph, pointing out that Harry seems to have accepted playing second fiddle to Meghan, abandoning his previous life as an action man for a more woke West Coast lifestyle.
Levin highlighted Harry’s own words from the past, in which he stated that he, Prince William, and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, are royal and not celebrities.
These words have come back to haunt him, as the public feels that he has strayed far from his initial stance.
The source further emphasized that it is humiliating for Harry to have his previous statements thrown back at him.
Initially, concern surrounded his choices, but now there is a growing anger towards him for abandoning his country and becoming famous for being famous.
According to royal expert Ingrid Seward, Harry and Meghan will never work for the royal family again.
Seward believes that they will remain in California, occasionally visiting England to see their family, but they will not resume their roles as working members of the monarchy.
Seward also criticized Meghan for not embracing the British people and shutting them out of her world, which led to the perception that the couple had no interest in their royal duties.
She placed some blame on Harry for not guiding Meghan on how to win over the public, citing Princess Diana as an example.
The couple’s lucrative deals with Netflix and Spotify have raised concerns about the implications for the royal family.
It is speculated that these media giants will expect more than just gender equality and human rights content from Harry and Meghan.
There is a belief that they will demand inside information about the royal family and the palace in exchange for the significant sums of money involved.
Meghan’s arrogance and willingness to provide such information, coupled with Harry’s diminished ability to think independently, have left many relieved that they are now in the US.
The couple’s actions have alienated many who once cared about them.
The secrecy surrounding the birth of their baby and Meghan’s lecturing on behavior from across the pond have further contributed to this sentiment.
The British public feels that Meghan’s initial popularity was based on illusions, and her true colors have now been revealed.
Despite blaming others for their own shortcomings, the couple’s desire for a normal life has come at a cost.
As the debate surrounding Harry and Meghan’s future continues, it remains to be seen how this will unfold.
The Queen’s decision to cut ties with the Sussexes has garnered significant support, but the repercussions for both sides are yet to be fully realized.
One thing is clear: the rift between the couple and the royal family shows no signs of healing anytime soon.
