Royal Family Closes the Door on Harry and Meghan: A New Strategy Unveiled

In a dramatic turn of events, the royal family appears to have firmly shut the door on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, according to insights from Paul Burrell, who served as Princess Diana's butler.

Burrell suggests that the monarchy has adopted a fresh approach to manage the ongoing tensions with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, indicating that reconciliation is off the table.

Since stepping back from their royal duties in 2020 and relocating to the United States, Harry and Meghan have faced increasing estrangement from their family.

Their departure marked the beginning of a tumultuous period, characterized by a series of explosive claims about royal life.

The couple's public remarks have only intensified the rift, especially following their associations with figures like author Omid Scobie, who has authored two critical books about the royal family, “Finding Freedom” and “Endgame.”

Despite their attempts at distancing themselves from the monarchy, the situation has taken a turn for the worse.

Just before Christmas, reports surfaced suggesting that Harry and Meghan were eager to mend their fractured relationship with the royal family.

However, the release of Scobie's “Endgame” in November seemed to exacerbate the chill between the two parties.

Burrell, reflecting on the current dynamics, expressed skepticism regarding any potential reconciliation.

He emphasized that the royal family simply does not have the capacity to welcome Harry and Meghan back into the fold.

“I don't think they'll be invited back with open arms,” he stated, speaking on behalf of Slingo.

His assessment paints a picture of a royal family that has regrouped and fortified its internal bonds, leaving no space for the Sussexes.

According to Burrell, the royal family's new tactic revolves around maintaining silence and keeping matters within their ranks.

“The doors are firmly shut,” he said, highlighting a strategic shift towards privacy and unity among the royals.

This approach suggests a desire to avoid further public drama and to strengthen their collective image.

Interestingly, Burrell also speculated on Meghan's future literary endeavors, predicting that she may eventually release her own memoir.

He believes that her long wait to publish could stem from a desire to present her side of the story, particularly given her limited presence in Prince Harry's memoir, “Spare.”

With the royal family's reputation at stake, Meghan's potential memoir could add another layer of complexity to the already fraught relationship.

Burrell noted that the absence of her perspective in Harry's narrative has likely fueled her desire to articulate her experiences and feelings.
