However, the latest information suggests that Princess Anne and Prince Edward are now joining forces to exclude Meghan from the royal narrative. According to the book, "The Princess and the Lake," Queen's daughter, Princess Anne, successfully influenced King Charles to cut off access to Frogmore Cottage, which had been provided to the Sussexes as their residence during their visits to the UK. This move has raised questions regarding the utilization of the Grade Two-listed mansion following their withdrawal from royal duties. The book portrays Princess Anne as an advocate for a more stringent approach, while Prince Edward expresses concerns about the potential impact on Meghan and Harry's mental well-being.
The book goes further, alleging that Meghan and Harry were deeply distressed by the delay in receiving official titles for their son, Archie Harrison, and Princess Lee Diana. It took six months for Buckingham Palace to update its website with their titles, causing the Sussexes to draw comparisons with the treatment of Prince William and Princess Kate.
Moreover, the book contends that King Charles declined an invitation to attend Princess Lee's christening due to scheduling conflicts, exacerbating tensions between the royal family and the Sussexes. The drama doesn't end there, as the book suggests a strained relationship between Meghan and Princess Kate. According to "Endgame," Kate appeared uncomfortable whenever Meghan's name was mentioned and seemed to focus more on Meghan than any other topic.
The book also alleges that during Queen Elizabeth's funeral, senior members of the Windsor family, including Queen Camilla, Princess Anne, and Sophie, The Duchess of Edinburgh, tried to avoid Meghan outside Westminster Abbey. Despite these conflicts, the Sussexes are eager to maintain a relationship with King Charles, with their children reportedly sending photos of their grandchildren to the King.
It's worth noting that Buckingham Palace has refrained from commenting on the book's excerpts, leaving the authenticity of these claims open to speculation. Some experts suggest that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may harbor the belief that Buckingham Palace cannot thrive without their presence. However, these experts point out that, contrary to their expectations, the British monarchy is flourishing even in their absence.
Since stepping back from their royal roles, the British monarchy has remained strong and rejuvenated. King Charles and Queen have demonstrated their dedication and work ethic, while the Prince and Princess of Wales have navigated their roles admirably. Even lesser-known royals, such as Sophie, The Duchess of Edinburgh, have risen to the occasion.
Despite their exit from the royal fold, it appears that the British monarchy continues to thrive, dispelling any notions that it cannot survive without the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The belief that their absence would tarnish the institution has proven to be quite the opposite.
