These claims have emerged in response to Prince Harry's earlier commitment to strike a balance between his responsibilities in the United States and the United Kingdom before the Megxit situation unfolded. Royal commentator Daniela Elser delves into this in her piece for News.com.au.
She points out, "It's nearly a year since the Duchess of Sussex last set foot in the United Kingdom, a year during which she and Harry produced a six-part TV series. This series accused Prince William of leaving Harry 'terrified' after an incident where he 'screamed and shouted' at his younger brother.
They also touched on the royal family's struggle with 'a significant level of unconscious bias' and suggested that Buckingham Palace waged 'a genuine kind of war against Meghan'."
This context leads to an interesting observation concerning the updated royal website. Both Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's pages feature lines taken from their farewell message before Megxit, emphasizing their commitment to 'continue working part-time' for the Royal Family.
However, Ms. Elser points out, "Anyone with a basic understanding can see that they are not truly 'balancing' their time between California and the UK, given that they have spent approximately only a month in total in Britain over the last roughly 35 months."
She further questions the notion that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are in any way 'continuing to honor their duty to the Monarch,' considering their candid television appearances depicting royal life as challenging, the Palace as a place filled with egos, and King Charles as a somewhat ineffective father who couldn't support his son and daughter-in-law.
"In what world does going on television to portray royal life as a sort of living nightmare, the Palace as a hub of egos, and the King as a less-than-adequate father translate to 'honoring their duty to the Monarch'?" she concludes.
