According to royal watcher Michael Cole, the bond between Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and the royal family has deteriorated significantly, with no indication of reconciliation in sight.
Cole expressed his belief that the key to repairing this fractured relationship lies in an apology from Harry and Meghan for any perceived transgressions.
He highlighted that Meghan’s estrangement extends beyond her immediate family, with only her mother and a niece maintaining contact, while the rest remain distant.
Similarly, Prince Harry’s ties with his family are strained, exacerbated by the criticisms leveled against the royal family by the Sussexes following their departure from royal duties.
Cole emphasized the critical need for apologies from both Harry and Meghan to bridge the growing divide, asserting that without such gestures, the rift is unlikely to heal.
He underlined the current state of affairs as being at rock bottom due to the absence of any conciliatory moves from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Recent reports suggest that Meghan had sought a meeting with her father-in-law, King Charles, to address the challenges she encountered upon entering the royal fold.
Neil Sean disclosed on his YouTube channel that Meghan desired clarity from the King regarding her struggles within the monarchy.
The issue that particularly irked Meghan was the disparity in treatment between her and other royals, such as the Duchess of York, who engaged in commercial activities under the royal banner.
Despite facing hurdles in 2023, including the release of Prince Harry’s memoir and other media ventures, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have the potential to thrive independently from the royal family, according to royal expert Dr. Tessa Dunlop.
She noted with irony that even The Hollywood Reporter labeled them as losers for the year, citing public fatigue with their perceived grievances and contradictions.
Dr. Dunlop highlighted the relief felt by critics seeing Harry and Meghan’s fall from grace, yet she urged a closer examination of the circumstances.
In a Mirror interview, Dr. Dunlop elaborated on the couple’s current status, emphasizing that while they may be enduring a period of diminished celebrity status, it pales in comparison to the restrictive confines of royal obligations.
She pointed out that the Hollywood list of “losers,” which included esteemed brands like Marvel and Disney, paradoxically served as a form of recognition for Harry and Meghan’s liberation from the stifling expectations of royal life.
