This latest development follows the couple’s explosive new interview with CBS, which has drawn sharp criticism from Royal commentators. In the interview, Meghan suggested she had more damaging revelations about her time in the royal family, claiming she had only scratched the surface in her previous tell-all with Oprah Winfrey. Many interpreted this as a veiled threat against the monarchy, reflecting a disregard for the mental health of royal family members, particularly Catherine.
Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield did not hold back in her critique of the Sussexes' behavior. She questioned their concern for the family's mental health, particularly referencing the targeting of Princess Catherine in Omid Scobie's book "Endgame." Schofield accused Harry and Meghan of lacking credibility and self-awareness on mental health issues, given their own reported struggles.
The decision to pursue legal action against Meghan in the form of a restraining order underscores the seriousness of the situation. It indicates that the royal family feels increasingly threatened by the Sussexes’ continued attacks and is willing to take drastic measures to protect its members, especially Catherine, from further harassment or abuse.
This restraining order is the latest development in the ongoing saga between the Sussexes and the royal family. Since stepping down from their senior roles in 2020, Harry and Meghan have engaged in a relentless campaign of interviews, docuseries, and tell-all books, all of which have further strained their relationship with the monarchy. While the Royals have largely remained silent in response to these attacks, the issuance of a restraining order marks a clear message that the family will not tolerate any further attempts to undermine or disparage its members, particularly the future Queen consort, Catherine.
As the conflict between the Sussexes and the Royals continues to escalate, the future of the monarchy itself hangs in the balance. The public’s perception of the institution is increasingly shaped by these personal grievances and animosities that have spilled into the open. It remains to be seen whether the Royals can weather this storm and emerge stronger or if the fallout from the Sussex Saga will have lasting consequences for the Crown.
