As someone who’s been covering the royal family for years, I can tell you—this latest development about our California-based former royals has me absolutely floored.
Let me paint you a picture of what's been unfolding. Our trusted royal expert, Angela Levin, known for having her finger firmly on the pulse of everything Windsor, has dropped what could be the biggest bombshell of the year. She’s suggesting that Prince Harry may finally be seeing the light and is planning a Christmas escape from the Montecito mansion. Now, wouldn’t that be something?
Those of us who've been following this saga from the very beginning have seen the writing on the wall. Remember how bright-eyed and beloved Harry once was? That cheeky smile, the genuine connection with the public, and his beautiful relationship with his brother, William—all of that began to change when a certain former cable TV actress entered the picture.
Let’s rewind to 2016, when Harry first met Meghan. We all wanted to believe in the fairy tale, right? But some of us (and I’ll admit, I was one of them) saw the red flags right from the start. The speed of their relationship, the way Meghan seemed to orchestrate every photo op, the suspicious timing of every leaked story—it all started to raise concerns. And then, of course, there was the gradual dismantling of Harry’s relationships with literally everyone who’d ever cared about him.
What really breaks my heart in all of this is what it’s done to Catherine, Princess of Wales. Here’s a woman who welcomed Meghan with open arms, tried to help her navigate royal life—and what did she get in return? Public humiliation, twisted stories, and that infamous bridesmaid dress saga that just wouldn’t die. But have you seen Catherine lately? Despite everything thrown her way, she rises above it all with such grace and dignity. That’s what real royal behavior looks like, my friends.
And then, there’s King Charles. This is the man who walked Meghan down the aisle when her own father couldn’t be there. He welcomed her into the family, gave her a platform, and even called her "tungsten" because he admired her strength. How was he repaid? With that shocking Oprah interview that threw the entire family under the bus. But what speaks volumes is how Charles has handled it all—with quiet dignity and an open door for his son should he ever want to return.
Now, let’s talk about these divorce rumors. Look, I’ve been hearing whispers for months. My sources in California are painting a very interesting picture of life in Montecito: separate bedrooms, separate schedules, separate lives. But what’s truly fascinating about Angela Levin’s recent revelations is that she’s suggesting Harry has finally reached his breaking point. And honestly, can you blame him?
Think about it—what has Harry got to show for the past few years? His military titles? Gone. His royal patronages? Gone. His relationships with the people he was closest to? Destroyed. And for what? A Netflix deal that’s produced mediocre content at best? A book that made him look bitter and petty? A wife who seems more interested in building her brand than in supporting the causes they claim to care about?
I’ve been covering the royals for over two decades, and I’ve never seen anything quite like this. The way Meghan has managed to isolate Harry and fundamentally change who he is as a person—it’s actually frightening when you think about it. This is a man who once said he wanted nothing more than to support his brother when William became king. Now, he can barely be in the same room with his family.
And what about their kids? Archie and Lilibet? Have you noticed how we barely see them? Compare that to William and Catherine’s children. Yes, William and Catherine protect their privacy, but they also understand the role their children will one day play in the monarchy. They share appropriate moments with the public, creating that crucial bond between the royals and the people they serve.
Meanwhile, "ghost kids" Archie and Lilibet are being raised in complete isolation—used as pawns in this bizarre game of smoke and mirrors.
What really gets me is the timing of all this. Just when William and Catherine are showing incredible leadership, modernizing the monarchy while respecting its traditions, and raising their children to understand both privilege and duty—that’s when Harry and Meghan choose to throw their grenades. The contrast couldn’t be clearer.
Let me tell you something else that’s been bothering me. Remember all those stories about Meghan’s grand political ambitions? The whispers about her eyeing a Senate seat or even the presidency? Well, my sources tell me those dreams aren’t dead—they’re just on hold. And maybe, just maybe, that’s part of why these divorce rumors are surfacing now. Has Harry finally realized that he’s just another stepping stone in someone else’s journey to the top?
What truly breaks my heart is watching what this has done to the real victims of all of this—the royal family, especially William. Can you imagine working your whole life to prepare for your future role only to have your own brother try to destroy everything you stand for? But watch William—he never stoops to their level. He keeps focused on his duties, on supporting Catherine, and on raising their children right. That’s real strength, my friends.
And let’s talk about Queen Camilla for a moment. Remember how Meghan tried to paint her as some sort of villain? Well, look at Camilla now—steadfast, supportive, quietly efficient in her role. She’s won over the British public, not through Instagram posts or celebrity interviews, but through consistent, dedicated service. That’s how it’s done.
Now, back to those Christmas divorce rumors. Angela Levin isn’t usually one to speak without substance, and when you look at the patterns, it starts to make sense. Harry’s been making more solo appearances lately, there have been photos of Meghan without her wedding ring, and don’t forget those telling blind items in the Hollywood press about a certain former actress shopping for property in Malibu.
But here’s what I think is really going on: Harry’s trapped, and he knows it. He’s watching his family from afar—seeing Catherine’s growing confidence and popularity, witnessing William’s natural leadership, observing how King Charles is modernizing the monarchy while maintaining its dignity. Meanwhile, what has Harry got? A podcast that flopped, a Netflix deal that’s underwhelming, and a wife who seems more interested in her next PR move than in actual charitable work.
And the silence from their supposed Hollywood friends? Remember all those celebrities at their wedding? Where are they now? Even Oprah seems to have moved on. It’s almost as if the entertainment industry has realized that the Sussex brand isn’t quite the golden ticket it appeared to be.
My sources also tell me Harry’s been making quiet inquiries about his position in the line of succession, his children’s titles, and what rights he still has as a prince of the realm. Why would he be asking these questions if everything was fine in Montecito?
One thing’s clear: even if Harry is planning to break free, it won’t be easy. Meghan’s got him exactly where she wants him—isolated, dependent, and far from his support system. And let’s not forget the financial entanglements—the mortgages, lifestyle commitments, and business deals that depend on them being a package deal.
It’s heartbreaking, really. Harry could’ve had a much different life. Imagine if he’d married someone who understood the value of service, who appreciated the platform they’d been given, and who wanted to work within the system to make real change. Instead, he chose someone who seemed to view the royal family as a stepping stone to celebrity status.
The contrast between the two brothers couldn’t be more stark. William and Catherine are out there doing the work day after day, without fanfare or drama, raising their children to understand their responsibilities to the crown and the country. Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan are in California, seemingly more concerned with their next Netflix project than with actual public service.
Let’s talk about the children for a moment—because this is where it gets really sad. Archie and Lilibet are growing up isolated from their cousins, their grandfather, and the entire extended family. Compare that to William and Catherine’s children, who are growing up surrounded by family, understanding their heritage, and being prepared for their future roles, all while still enjoying a normal childhood.
None of this had to happen. The royal family bent over backward to welcome Meghan. They gave her platforms, titles, jewelry, houses—everything she could have wanted. But it seems like what she really wanted was to be the star of her own show, not a supporting player in a thousand-year-old institution.
Looking ahead, I think we’re going to see some very interesting developments in the next few months. The holiday season is always a time when family tensions come to a head and big decisions are made. If Angela Levin is right (and she usually is), we might be witnessing the beginning of the end of the Sussex saga.
But here’s what gives me hope: the strength and resilience of the working royals. Watch how William and Catherine continue to rise above the drama, focus on their work, and prepare George, Charlotte, and Louis for their future roles. That’s the future of the monarchy, my friends, and it’s in very good hands.
