Meghan Markle "irreversibly abandoned" the royal family, according to former secretary to Princess Diana
The Duchess of Sussex is not the only culprit in the deterioration of the relationship with the other members of the British monarchy.
The royal family has no purpose or existence for Meghan Markle, 39, beyond serving the 94-year-old Queen Elizabeth II and the United Kingdom. This was announced by Patrick Jephson, private secretary to the late Princess Diana between 1988 and 1996. In an article for the British newspaper Mail on Sunday, the former royal employee said that the recent actions of the Duchess of Sussex show that she has "abandoned »To the British institution.
"Sure, Meghan has stated that the Sussexes will always be royalty, but their actions say something very different," Jephson noted before adding: "By shelling out £ 11 million on a cozy little property in Santa Barbara, embracing the electoral politics of The United States and by implicitly sanctioning a book that embarrasses her in-laws, Meghan has irreversibly abandoned an institution that for her has no purpose or existence beyond service to the Queen and the country.
Prince Harry, 35, and Meghan bought a $ 14,650,000 home in Montecito, in Santa Barbara County, California, in June according to reports. The couple moved to the gigantic estate with their 1-year-old son Archie in early July after spending four months settled in the $ 18 million Beverly Hills mansion in Los Angeles owned by Hollywood mogul Tyler Perry. .
The fault is not hers
On the alleged deterioration that the Dukes of Sussex have with the royal family, Jephson argued that the blame does not lie only with Meghan. We probably shouldn't blame her, or at least not her alone. In theory, and against all odds, the Sussexes' novel plan for the future could have simply worked, ”he argued, insisting that“ as is often the case with the drama surrounding the modern royal family, when it comes to the big scenes. very few of the main characters can make the leap from good intentions to good and effective actions in real life.
Jephson continued: "When the Sussex experiment is properly investigated, as it should be by conscientious management of the Palace, then deep-seated complacency, presumption and confusion will surely be among the culprits." Harry and Meghan announced their intentions to step back from their royal duties as senior members of the British monarchy on January 8. The official departure of the royal family took place on March 31.
