Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have faced severe criticism for their silence regarding the attacks on senior members of the royal family in Omid Scobie’s new book, Endgame.
Renowned royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams has expressed his disappointment over the couple’s refusal to address these allegations.
In a tweet, Fitzwilliams referred to their silence as the elephant in the room and deemed it completely unsatisfactory.
He further questioned the hypocrisy of the Sussexes’ representatives, who continue to leak names while the couple remains silent.
The expert believes that this silence will have detrimental consequences for the royal family, turning the situation into a farce that could potentially tarnish their reputation.
Fitzwilliams also expressed sympathy for the courtiers who are often depicted as faceless individuals.
He condemned the Sussexes for their duplicitous behavior and their collaboration with Omid Scobie, a journalist known for his insatiable appetite for royal news.
The expert emphasized the damaging effects of doing nothing in response to these allegations, as it allows them to persist and gain traction.
The silence from the Sussexes speaks volumes about their stance on the matter.
In addition to the backlash from royal experts, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have become subjects of mockery on Jimmy Faylor’s show.
Fox News host Dagen McDowell openly criticized the couple, particularly targeting their environmental activism despite frequently using private jets.
McDowell’s disdain for the “toxic twosome” is evident, as she questions their credibility as climate experts.
This is not the first time McDowell has criticized the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Following their interview with Oprah Winfrey, McDowell slammed Meghan for her lack of preparedness for royal life.
Meghan revealed that she was unaware of certain protocols, such as the requirement to curtsy when meeting senior members of the royal family.
She also confessed to researching the British National Anthem online the night before her wedding to Prince Harry, as no one had assisted her with the preparation.
Many have since questioned why Prince Harry, who had experienced the scrutiny of royal life firsthand, did not adequately prepare his wife for the traditions and expectations that come with it.
Dagen McDowell, as a Fox News analyst, further criticized Prince Harry for his apparent negligence in preparing Meghan Markle.
McDowell expressed doubts about Meghan’s claims, finding it hard to believe that she had no prior knowledge of the royal family’s history or protocols.
McDowell questioned why Prince Harry failed to educate his wife about what she would encounter, especially considering the experiences of his late mother, Princess Diana.
She found it preposterous that Prince Harry did not take the necessary steps to prepare Meghan, comparing him to a flashlight without batteries, completely useless.
The ongoing controversy surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s silence amidst the racism row continues to raise questions about their commitment to transparency and accountability.
As public figures, their actions and words hold significant influence, and their failure to address these allegations may have lasting consequences for their reputation and the royal family as a whole.
