Harry and Meghan’s departure from the royal family four years ago seemed like a fresh start for them. However, it had the opposite effect, with the couple and their actions remaining in the headlines. Amidst the scrutiny, several royal family members, including Kate Middleton, have been under constant public scrutiny.
The bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey marked a turning point for Harry and Meghan. They accused the royal family of racism and neglecting Meghan’s mental health. This was followed by additional interviews, a Netflix series, and Harry’s book, which strained their relationship with the other family members.
While many might think that the relationship between Harry, Meghan, and the remaining royal family members is irreparable, a royal expert suggests otherwise. In fact, the attacks on the royal family may have brought Prince William, Kate Middleton, King Charles, and Queen Camilla closer together.
The Tell-All Interview
In their interview with Oprah, Harry and Meghan revealed shocking allegations about their experiences within the royal family. Meghan spoke about conversations within the palace concerning Archie’s skin color, which left a lasting impact on her.
Harry and Meghan were then practically excluded from the royal family. Meghan revealed that Prince Charles had refused to take Harry’s phone calls, further straining their relationship.
The couple also released a Netflix series and Harry’s book, which revealed tensions between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle. It became clear that the two never really became friends.
The Awkward Meeting
In their Netflix show, Meghan shared her first meeting with Kate Middleton, which was less than successful. Meghan’s casual approach, including being barefoot and hugging, clashed with the formality of the royal family.
Authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand suggest that the lack of a strong bond between Kate and Meghan was due to their limited interaction. They claim that Kate didn’t make a significant effort to welcome Meghan into the family, which disappointed Meghan.
The Wedding Drama
The tensions escalated during the build-up to Harry and Meghan’s wedding. Meghan claimed that Kate made her cry over the flower girl dresses, contradicting earlier tabloid claims.
Harry’s book revealed private texts between Kate and Meghan, discussing Princess Charlotte’s dress. The exchange left Meghan in tears and led to the gowns being remade.
Strained Relations and Apologies
Harry’s book not only revealed tensions with Kate but also criticized Prince William and King Charles. Their relationship has reached a low point, and William has no intention of apologizing to Harry.
When King Charles received his cancer diagnosis, relations within the family became even more strained. Harry’s visit to the UK to spend time with his father was met with opposition from William.
A United Front
Despite the turmoil caused by Harry and Meghan’s actions, royal expert Lady C believes that it has brought King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Kate Middleton closer together. She describes them as a united unit who have each other’s best interests at heart.
Lady C also believes that King Charles will not offer Harry or Meghan an official role in the future. She suggests that it would be best for the family to avoid such a situation.
The Future of the Royal Family
Harry and Meghan’s impact on the royal family is undeniable, and the question remains whether they will ever make amends. Time will tell if healing is possible, but for now, the remaining family members are focused on their duties and supporting each other.
