Experts are warning that the situation could become a "serious mess territory," and there seem to be no good options for anyone involved. Royal commentator and expert Daniela Elser has issued these warnings and claims.
According to the New Zealand Herald, Elser has stated that the situation is causing headaches for Palace staff who are trying to work out the seating arrangements. She also suggests that Harry and Meghan may be intentionally toying with the Palace, as they have yet to respond to their Palace invite. This could be a result of their previous attempts to negotiate with the Palace being met with silence.
In January, Harry gave interviews where he expressed his desire for his family to come to the table and make amends. However, the Palace responded by doing nothing. They did not issue a statement, admission, or any form of concession. They continued with their day jobs, which included visiting produce markets and meeting with the public.
Elser suggests that, as a result of this lack of response, Harry and Meghan may be trying to make life more difficult for the Palace staff and other members of the Royal Family. This could be a way of getting the Palace to negotiate with them or make concessions.
