No Longer Brothers: William’s Bombshell Against Harry and Meghan
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have returned to the UK amidst reports of a rift within the royal family.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle arrived in Britain for the first time since the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June.
Their visit includes appearances in London and Manchester, as well as a trip to Germany to mark the one-year countdown to the Invictus Games.
Reports indicate that the couple opted for a commercial flight rather than a private jet for their journey, although their arrival has not been officially confirmed.
This homecoming follows Meghan's recent interview with The Cut, where she discussed the challenges of forgiveness and hinted at her willingness to speak openly.
In a detailed interview spanning over 6,000 words, Meghan highlighted how their presence alone disrupted the royal hierarchy before their decision to step back from senior royal duties.
Royal editor Roya Nikar quoted a source expressing concerns that Harry and Meghan's actions may not align with the Queen's values, particularly regarding public discussions of personal family matters.
Upon relinquishing their senior royal roles, the couple vowed to uphold the Queen's values.
However, a source close to the Queen revealed her discomfort with the ongoing uncertainty and potential controversies surrounding Harry and Meghan's public statements.
Prince Charles, bewildered by his son's approach to family dynamics, is reportedly struggling to comprehend Harry's choices.
Sources involved in the negotiations surrounding Harry and Meghan's departure emphasized the couple's reliance on their royal connections for influence, despite their criticisms of the institution.
The ongoing discord between the couple and the royal family has raised questions about the sustainability of their strategies.
Harry and Meghan have engaged in various interviews post-royal life, including a notable conversation with Oprah Winfrey in which they made serious allegations against the royal family.
These accusations included claims of racism, lack of support for Meghan's mental health struggles, and tensions with other family members.
During a recent interview in the Hague for the Invictus Games, Harry hinted at concerns for the Queen's well-being and the need for her protection.
His comments, while vague, likely deepened tensions within the family and caused confusion among palace officials.
Separately, Prince William is unlikely to visit his brother, Prince Harry, during an upcoming trip to the US for the Earthshot Prize ceremony.
Despite reports of efforts to mend the rift between the royal brothers, experts suggest that reconciliation may not be on the horizon during this visit.
Rumors of secret planning for a reunion involving Kate Middleton and both couples' children have also emerged, hinting at potential behind-the-scenes efforts to mend familial ties.
