Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Promise Change Amid Royal Feud Hopes
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have pledged to adopt a more patient approach toward the royal family, moving past their longstanding tensions. According to sources, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who stepped down as senior royals in 2020, are aiming to shift their priorities in the new year.
The couple’s decision to step back from royal duties led to a series of public revelations and accusations about the royal family over the years, creating a significant rift. However, insiders reveal that Harry and Meghan are now focused on letting go of past grievances. "They’ve vowed to stay patient when it comes to the palace and all the things that used to upset them," the source said.
The source also highlighted their intention to prioritize their relationship. Speaking to Closer magazine, the insider explained, "They’re carving out the time they need to nurture their bond. Otherwise, their schedules get so packed that it feels like they’re just ships passing in the night." Harry and Meghan reportedly plan to focus on being present and grateful for their current blessings.
Harry and Meghan have also faced criticism for allegedly using the monarchy for personal gain. As their new documentary, Harry: The Lost Prince, prepares for release on Germany’s ZDF network on December 3, royal commentators have voiced concerns. The film explores Harry’s struggles as a working royal, his decision to step back in 2020, and his life in California with Meghan and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
Critics, including Jack Royston of the Royal Report podcast, have argued against the couple’s past demands to remain "half in, half out" of the monarchy—a request denied by the late Queen Elizabeth II. Royston said, "They should never be using the monarchy as a platform."
Additionally, the couple’s recent tour of Colombia drew backlash. Reporter Russell Myers criticized their choice of designer clothing worth tens of thousands of pounds while visiting some of the world’s poorest communities, calling it a mismatch in messaging.
Prince Harry’s disapproval of Queen Camilla, King Charles’ second wife, remains a significant source of tension. Despite Camilla’s growing acceptance within the royal family and her public popularity, Harry has accused her of leaking stories to the press to enhance her image. Former BBC royal correspondent Jenny Bond has commented on Camilla’s efforts, noting that she has become a key support for King Charles and a respected figure within the monarchy—albeit not in Harry and Meghan’s eyes.
Bond added, "It’s not easy being a second wife, stepmother, step-grandmother, or a commoner stepping into the royal goldfish bowl. Camilla has done it all and, for most of the family, she is well-liked or even loved."
An explosive claim from Omid Scobie’s book Endgame reveals that Prince Harry once pleaded with the royal family to delay the announcement of Queen Elizabeth II’s death. On September 8, 2022, as stormy weather delayed his flight to Balmoral, Harry reportedly begged Buckingham Palace to wait so he could be present. Despite his efforts, the Queen’s death was officially announced at 6:30 p.m. before he arrived.
As Harry and Meghan continue to navigate their post-royal life, their actions remain under intense global scrutiny, with mixed reactions to their Netflix series, interviews, and now their upcoming documentary. Many wonder if these endeavors will repair or further strain their relationship with Buckingham Palace.
