Royal Drama Unfolds: Meghan Markle Faces Accusations Amid Royal Family Rift

Meghan Markle's tranquility was shattered as Natalie Portman, known for her role as Padme Amidala in the Star Wars prequel trilogy, unexpectedly implicated her in the controversy surrounding Omid Scobie's contentious book during an appearance on Watch What Happens Live.

Portman, who delved into the Star Wars universe at a tender age of 18 with The Phantom Menace in 1999, reminisced about a peculiar exchange with King Charles at the film's premiere.

The then Prince of Wales quizzically asked if she had been part of the original Star Wars movies, to which she humorously clarified her youthful age at the time, leading to a friendly interaction.

During the interview, when probed by host Andy Cohen about the backlash against Omid Scobie's book, particularly regarding King Charles, Natalie Portman subtly defended the king, dismissing the allegations as unfounded and echoing Meghan Markle's sentiments from her Oprah Winfrey interview.

Portman expressed her conviction that King Charles bore no animosity and portrayed him as an amiable individual.

In contrast, Omid Scobie staunchly defended his book, asserting that he penned it swiftly.

Despite the project's announcement in July of the previous year, the book titled Endgame was revealed just months later in December, sparking speculations about his close ties to Meghan's circle.

Rumors swirled that Scobie held clandestine meetings with Meghan in Los Angeles hotels while crafting the book, causing a delay in its release due to the need to incorporate details about Queen Elizabeth's passing.

Recent reports have hinted at a bleak future for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle within the royal family under Prince William's reign.

The future king has purportedly informed King Charles III that the royal business should proceed sans the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, deeming their reintegration detrimental to the monarchy's image.

Prince William's strategic vision entails keeping Harry and Meghan at arm's length indefinitely, emphasizing that they should not be welcomed back into the royal fold.

Conversely, King Charles remains optimistic about the prospect of reconciliation, influenced by his familial bond with Harry.

However, senior royals are wary of the couple's declining popularity post-exit and fear the repercussions of their reinstatement, striving to avoid public backlash and preserve the monarchy's perceived strength amid the ongoing turmoil.
