Rumors have surfaced regarding the apprehension felt by the Prince and Princess of Wales concerning the lingering public perception of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as part of the royal family, despite their divorce four years ago.
Speculation suggests that the royal family is uneasy about the recent successful journey to Nigeria undertaken by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, as they are slated to step down from their royal duties in 2020.
The Prince of Wales is reportedly troubled by the fact that, with his wife battling cancer, he is unable to compete with the Sussexes’ increasing prominence and cannot impede their rising influence.
Comparisons have been drawn between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s recent visit to Nigeria and a traditional royal tour, with observers praising the couple’s seamless execution of the trip.
The Duchess and Prince, who are preparing to exit the royal fold next year, have hinted at future travels by labeling their Nigerian excursion as just the beginning of many forthcoming journeys in a message addressed to the nation’s populace.
While the Cambridges have chosen to maintain a dignified silence amidst the unfolding events, insiders suggest that the ongoing turbulence has deeply impacted the Prince and Princess of Wales.
The couple, who have long been viewed as symbols of royal steadfastness and commitment, find themselves grappling with the repercussions of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s recent actions.
Sources close to the royal circle indicate that the Wales are dismayed by the looming prospect of further revelations from the Sussexes that could potentially tarnish the monarchy’s image.
The publication of the Duke’s memoir, titled “Spare,” and the couple’s involvement in a Netflix series have already shed light on numerous personal and controversial aspects, shaking the very foundations of the institution.
Allegedly, the fear of what may unfold next has prompted the Cambridges to adopt a cautious and reserved approach.
The Sussexes’ inclination to air their grievances in public is perceived as a direct challenge not only to the monarchy as an entity but also to the personal lives of its members.
The decision to maintain a distance from the Sussexes goes beyond physical separation; it also involves the establishment of emotional and psychological boundaries.
In the midst of these developments, the Wales are concentrating on fulfilling their royal obligations and nurturing their roles as parents, striving to create a stable environment for their children amidst the prevailing turmoil.
Recent royal engagements have underscored this deliberate detachment, with minimal interaction observed between the two couples at King’s coronation, maintaining a formal demeanor tinged with palpable tension.
The absence of the Cambridges from certain gatherings attended by the Sussexes further reinforces their intention to sidestep unnecessary clashes or media spectacles.
