As the 96-year-old Monarch's passing was mourned, Prince Harry returned to Britain for the anniversary, while Meghan remained in California with their two young children. She later planned to join the Duke of Sussex in Germany for the Invictus Games.
In the lead-up to the Queen's passing, the Sussexes' relationship with the royal family had reportedly reached new lows as they grappled with the rigidity of royal life. Many royal observers found Meghan's August 29th interview with The Cut to be filled with thinly veiled threats aimed at Buckingham Palace courtiers.
Now, a retired editor from The Cut has shared previously unpublished portions of the interview. In one notable segment, Meghan discussed her ability to speak freely without being bound by non-disclosure agreements following her departure from royal duties. This statement raised speculation about her intentions to speak openly on royal matters.
Meghan's remarks have sparked anger among royal enthusiasts, particularly because she and Harry were taking public actions while Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth struggled with illness and eventually passed away. Royal commentator Royal Knicker analyzed Meghan's comments, suggesting that they could be perceived as threatening to the royal family.
Furthermore, Meghan's revelation about keeping a journal has fueled speculation that she may write a memoir in the future. Her decision to leave her journal behind at Frogmore Cottage, rather than taking it with her, has raised eyebrows and led to conjecture about her potential literary ambitions.
Some critics argue that Meghan has encouraged Prince Harry to adopt a victim mentality and to claim that his family harbors animosity towards her. They believe Meghan is attempting to garner sympathy by portraying herself as a victim. However, many people remain skeptical of her intentions, suspecting that she may have ulterior motives and could potentially throw Harry under the bus in the future, claiming that she was not adequately protected.
