The walls are closing in on Harry and Meghan, and it’s about time. For years, we’ve watched as this duo has tried to have their cake and eat it too. They wanted the Royal titles, the privileges, the spotlight—but none of the responsibility or duty that comes with being part of the world’s most famous family. Now, it seems the chickens are finally coming home to roost.
From what we’re seeing, there appears to be a coordinated effort happening between King Charles, former President Donald Trump, and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that could spell the end of Harry and Meghan’s international gallivanting. And you know what? I’m here for it.
Let’s rewind a bit and connect the dots. When Harry and Meghan first announced they were stepping back from Royal duties, many of us sat in disbelief. They claimed they wanted privacy, yet immediately signed massive deals with Netflix and Spotify. They said they wanted to escape the British press, yet courted American media at every turn. The hypocrisy was stunning from day one.
Remember when they sat with Oprah and proceeded to throw the entire Royal Family under the bus? That interview was filled with so many half-truths and outright fabrications that it made my blood boil. Watching Meghan put on that performance—and yes, it was a performance—as she talked about how difficult Palace life was, all while wearing a $4,500 Armani dress and Diana’s bracelet, was peak irony. The symbolism wasn’t lost on anyone with half a brain.
And poor Harry—honestly, it breaks my heart to see what’s become of him. The once-beloved cheeky prince, who served his country and started wonderful initiatives like the Invictus Games, has been reduced to a shadow of his former self. A lap dog, as many have called him, who jumps whenever Meghan snaps her fingers. The transformation has been painful to watch.
The visa situation in America has been hanging over Harry’s head for quite some time now. When he admitted to drug use in his memoir, Spare—which, by the way, was another betrayal of his family’s privacy—it raised serious questions about his visa application. Did he lie on official government forms? That’s a crime in America, folks.
And it seems President Trump has finally had enough. After Harry’s recent comments at The Upfront Summit in Los Angeles, where he took digs at both Trump and Elon Musk, talking about a “sickness in leadership,” the gloves are off. Harry, who is a guest in America, decided it was appropriate to wade into American politics. Remember, this is the same Harry who once understood the importance of Royals remaining politically neutral. That concept seems to have flown out the window the moment he met Meghan.
Trump, who has never been one to turn the other cheek, appears to have had a meaningful conversation with King Charles. While I can’t claim to know exactly what was said behind closed doors, the timing certainly suggests cooperation between the two leaders.
Now, we have the Canadian angle. King Charles meeting with Justin Trudeau right after Trump’s apparent decision to kick Harry out can’t be a coincidence. Canada, which is part of the Commonwealth and where Harry and Meghan briefly lived after leaving the UK, could have been their fallback option. But if Trudeau is indeed joining forces with Charles and Trump, the Sussexes might find themselves with nowhere to hide.
Let’s talk about that Invictus Games appearance in Canada. This is classic Harry and Meghan—using the platform of a wonderful charitable initiative to stroke their own egos and flex those Royal connections they claim to have left behind. They continue to use their HRH titles in unofficial capacities, despite agreements not to do so. It’s this kind of behavior that has exhausted the patience of not just the Royal Family but now world leaders as well.
Meanwhile, contrast this with how William and Catherine have conducted themselves. Despite the Princess of Wales facing a serious health challenge this year, they’ve maintained dignity, grace, and a commitment to service that puts the Sussexes to shame. Catherine took time away from public duties to focus on her health, made a clear statement to the public, and then returned to work when she was able—without drama or fanfare. That’s class, folks. That’s what real royalty looks like.
And William? What a king-in-waiting he’s become. Stepping up during his father’s and wife’s health concerns, balancing his duties as a father and as a Royal, never complaining, never explaining. The contrast between the brothers couldn’t be more stark.
Let’s talk about their financial situation for a moment. The couple is burning through cash at an alarming rate. The massive Montecito mansion, the security detail, the private jets, the designer wardrobe—none of that comes cheap. Their Netflix deal hasn’t produced the hits they promised, their Spotify partnership ended early, and Spare gave them a one-time payday. But what’s next? Without access to the Royal-adjacent spotlight in major markets, investors and media companies will think twice before cutting them another check.
We’ve all seen the pattern by now. Whenever the Sussexes feel the spotlight dimming, they lob another grenade at the Royal Family—another “truth bomb,” as their supporters call it. But these calculated attacks are becoming less effective with each deployment. The public is wising up to their tactics, and even Hollywood, which initially welcomed them with open arms, seems to be keeping them at arm’s length these days.
Remember when they attended the Bob Marley: One Love premiere and awkwardly posed for photos? That’s the level they’ve been reduced to—showing up at events where they have no real connection, just to get their pictures taken. It’s a far cry from the meaningful work they could have been doing as working Royals.
The irony in all of this is that Harry and Meghan wanted freedom from the constraints of Royal life, but they’ve ended up more constrained than ever. They’re trapped in a prison of their own making—unable to move forward without their Royal connections, yet unable to repair those connections because of their behavior. It’s a lose-lose situation that could have been avoided with a little humility and a lot less ambition.
Now, with this apparent coordinated effort between Charles, Trump, and Trudeau, the Sussexes might finally be facing real consequences. And honestly, it’s about time. Actions should have consequences, even for those who were born into—or married into—privilege.
What’s particularly satisfying about this development is seeing world leaders recognize what many of us have seen for years: that Harry and Meghan are not the victims they portray themselves to be. They’re calculating opportunists who have exploited family relationships and institutional goodwill for personal gain.
So, there you have it—the latest in this Royal saga. If these reports are accurate, we could be witnessing a major turning point in the Sussex story: a coordinated effort across three countries to say “enough is enough” to their brand of self-serving quasi-Royal behavior.
