Despite these developments, Prince Harry and Meghan have not released any public statements regarding the king. A royal commentator on GB News, Victoria Arbiter, emphasized that there shouldn't be an expectation for Harry and Meghan to issue a public statement. Arbiter stated, "I don't see why Harry and Meghan should be expected to make a public statement. It would be performative at best, and as history has shown, when they do speak out, they're criticized for making it all about themselves. When they don't, they're accused of being uncaring. They're damned either way. Hopefully, they felt it appropriate to contact the king and the Princess of Wales privately."
The Duke of Sussex faced criticism recently for not mentioning his father or sister-in-law during his acceptance speech at the Living Legends of Aviation Awards last week.
