Harry and Meghan’s Latest Attempt to Smear Royals Backfires Spectacularly
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been on a relentless quest to air their grievances against the royal family ever since they stepped down from their senior roles and relocated to the United States.
Their high-profile interviews, particularly the one with Oprah Winfrey, have strained their relationships with the royals, especially with Harry's brother, Prince William.
Recently, it appeared that the couple was gearing up for one final act of revenge before severing ties completely, but this latest move has spectacularly backfired.
For months, rumors have circulated that Harry is working on a tell-all memoir, set to be published next year.
With major publishers reportedly offering multi-million dollar advances, this memoir promises to unveil Harry's perspective on his life as a royal and the reasons behind his decision to step away from the monarchy.
Given the couple's history of making explosive claims, expectations were high for this book to deliver a series of bombshell revelations aimed squarely at members of the royal family, particularly William and their father, Charles.
Just last week, whispers emerged that Harry and Meghan were attempting to expedite the release of the memoir, aiming for a late fall launch instead of the originally planned early 2023 date.
This sudden urgency raised eyebrows, leading many to speculate about their motives.
It soon became clear that they intended to time the memoir's release to coincide with Remembrance Sunday on November 13th—a day dedicated to honoring those who lost their lives in war, a significant occasion for the royal family.
The Sussexes seemingly hoped that by dropping their memoir just before this solemn event, they could overshadow the royal family's commemorative activities with scandalous claims and personal attacks.
This move was viewed as a low blow, a calculated attempt to stir drama right before such an important day for the monarchy.
However, this strategy quickly unraveled, and the backlash was swift and fierce.
News of their plans leaked to the UK press, igniting public outrage over what many perceived as a blatant disrespect for Remembrance Sunday.
The British public reacted strongly, condemning Harry and Meghan's timing as an opportunistic ploy to draw attention away from honoring veterans.
Even politicians, including Boris Johnson, weighed in, criticizing the couple for using such a sacred occasion for their own publicity.
Faced with mounting pressure and a potential boycott of the memoir, Harry and Meghan promptly abandoned their plans to rush the book's release.
They publicly announced that the memoir would revert to its original publication date in early 2023, attempting to frame the delay as unrelated to the public outcry.
However, it was evident that their strategy had misfired spectacularly, leaving them with a tarnished image.
This entire debacle has only intensified the negative perception of the couple among the British public.
Instead of achieving their goal of damaging the royal family further, they have inadvertently solidified the monarchy's dignity and respect during a time meant for reflection and honor.
The royals, including William and Charles, have maintained a dignified silence, allowing the public's response to speak volumes about their feelings toward Harry and Meghan's antics.
In a bid to salvage their reputation, Harry and Meghan's PR team has been busy spinning narratives in American tabloids, framing them as victims of a media smear campaign.
They claim the negative press forced the delay of the memoir, despite having announced it themselves.
This tactic has not gone unnoticed, with many seeing through their attempts to portray themselves as martyrs rather than owning up to their misjudgment.
Their ongoing narrative of victimhood appears increasingly transparent.
After years of airing grievances, public sentiment seems to have shifted, with many recognizing the couple's pattern of playing the victim card whenever faced with criticism.
Their recent attempt to exploit Remembrance Sunday for personal gain has only served to highlight their poor judgment and lack of understanding of the situation.
Looking ahead, it's uncertain how this latest fiasco will affect Harry and Meghan's standing with the royal family.
King Charles may feel emboldened to further limit their royal privileges, especially given Harry's previous exclusion from wearing military attire during significant events.
The relationship between Harry and William remains strained, with many questioning whether reconciliation is even possible after so many betrayals.
As the dust settles on this latest chapter, the royals continue to focus on honoring veterans while Harry and Meghan grapple with the fallout from their ill-fated plan.
The British public has made it clear that they will not allow the couple to hijack significant moments for their own agenda.
In the end, Remembrance Sunday passed without incident, underscoring the resilience of the royal family's commitment to honoring the fallen.
Harry and Meghan's attempt to divert attention to their personal grievances has crumbled, leaving them to contend with the consequences of their actions.
As new rumors surface about their potential future moves, one can only wonder if they will ever learn from their mistakes or continue down this path of self-sabotage.
