Prince Harry Faces Backlash for Allegedly Enabling Meghan Markle’s Bullying Behavior
Prince Harry is under fire as experts and critics accuse him of supporting Meghan Markle in what they describe as bullying behavior. The Duke of Sussex, who recently stepped away from his cherished charity Sentebale, is now facing serious allegations, including claims of harassment and racial discrimination from the charity’s chairwoman, Dr. Sophie Chandauka.
Former UK Culture Secretary Nadine Dorries has weighed in, labeling Harry as an “enabler” of Meghan’s actions. In her column for *Mail Online*, Dorries suggests that Meghan has “manipulated” her husband, pointing to a deeper dynamic at play. She writes, “I think it may have been Piers Morgan who was the first to suggest that Meghan was a narcissist, and he has since said it repeatedly. I’m afraid to say, I agree with him. And herein I believe lies the explanation for Harry’s – at times inexplicable – behavior.”
Dorries doesn’t let Harry off the hook entirely, emphasizing his responsibility. “That is not to excuse the prince in any way. He is an adult – a 40-year-old father of two – with agency and perspective. But how can he have tolerated some of Meghan’s more questionable actions?” she questions.
Delving deeper, Dorries introduces a psychological angle: “Secretly I have always felt that there is only one excuse left for Harry’s behavior, all others having been plundered. Is he the ‘flying monkey’ – that’s a psychological term used to describe someone who enables, or defends and excuses, the behavior of a narcissist – to Meghan?”
She explains, “The term comes from The Wizard of Oz, in which the Wicked Witch put flying monkeys under her spell. Flying monkeys are those people who will defend a narcissist; who will justify and explain away their behavior while not seeing or understanding what is happening around them. Typically, such enablers have personality flaws of their own, are needy and easily taken in by narcissists, who can be charming and effusive if it suits their manipulative purpose or draws attention.”
As the controversy unfolds, Prince Harry’s role in Meghan Markle’s alleged bullying behavior continues to spark debate, raising questions about loyalty, influence, and accountability within their high-profile partnership.
