In a scathing column, Sarah Vine of The Daily Mail has called out Meghan and Harry, also known as the Harkles, for their recent actions in the US.
Vine criticizes the couple for trying to overshadow the Prince and Princess of Wales and accuses them of narcissism and aggression.
Vine describes a trailer released by the Sussexes that portrays a picture-perfect image of their life.
Meghan is seen clutching her moonbump, while Harry strums an acoustic guitar.
The couple is shown laughing, holding hands, and appearing deeply in love.
Vine mocks this portrayal, likening it to an annoying advertisement for life insurance.
However, the tone quickly shifts, and the mood becomes dark.
Meghan is depicted in a white chair next to a white orchid, her hair scraped into a bun, weeping as the sound of a flashbulb explodes.
The trailer then cuts to the Princess of Wales, looking thunderous with a downturned mouth and a hardened expression.
Vine accuses the Sussexes of playing the victim while acting as aggressors, a tactic they have employed since their Oprah Winfrey interview.
She describes their latest move as a “declaration of war” against the royal family, particularly targeting William and Kate.
The timing of the trailer’s release is also called into question.
It coincided with the Prince and Princess of Wales’ arrival in America for a royal tour.
Vine suggests that this was a deliberate attempt to overshadow their visit, which was already marred by the Susan Hussey debacle.
The Prince and Princess of Wales are in the US to attend the second annual Earthshot Prize Awards, an organization founded by William to acknowledge individuals tackling climate change.
Given the Sussexes’ vocal advocacy in this area, one might have expected them to offer support and encouragement.
Instead, their trailer has been met with disdain.
Vine notes that this all-out attack on Kate surely leaves William with no choice but to retaliate.
Despite his past attempts to give his brother the benefit of the doubt and extend an olive branch, this latest move may have severed any remaining ties between them.
Before William and Catherine’s US visit, Meghan allegedly felt threatened by the prospect of the Princess of Wales setting foot in America.
There were concerns that Catherine’s charm and popularity could overshadow Meghan and lead to a loss of support for the Duchess.
It is no secret that Meghan has always been jealous of her sister-in-law, and this recent development only exacerbates her feelings.
Kate and William still enjoy immense popularity and respect in the US, and many believe that Meghan simply cannot compare to Kate as a quintessential princess.
Sources suggest that even before her US trip, the Princess of Wales was already receiving an outpouring of love and support from royal fans.
It is expected that her following will only grow during and after her overseas tour.
This reality does not sit well with Meghan, further fueling her jealousy.
As tensions continue to rise within the royal family, the spotlight remains firmly on the Sussexes and their controversial actions.
The battle for public perception between the Harkles and the Prince and Princess of Wales shows no signs of abating, leaving many to wonder what the future holds for the once-close brothers and their respective spouses.
