Royal experts have accused Prince Harry and Meghan Markle of overshadowing the royal family with their public appearances in the UK. Debates have arisen around whether the Sussexes’ independent engagements will further damage their relationship with the Firm.
Royal commentator criticizes Prince Harry and Meghan Markle of ‘overshadowing’ royal events
During a discussion on GB News, royal commentators Richard Fitzwilliams and Jack Stooks debated various topics pertaining to the royals. They argued over whether Prince William should reconcile with his estranged brother, Prince Harry. The conversation steered to Harry and Meghan’s public appearances in the U.K. The critics have speculated on whether they will impact their relationships with the working royals.
Speaking to the Daily Express, Fitzwilliams said: “The problem is, the royals have to stick to the script. The Sussexes can conduct guerrilla warfare, overshadowing royal events in the coming months.”
Debates have intensified after the couple made a joint visit to Nottingham. Their high-profile appearance ignited the debate of whether they are competing with the royals for attention. Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams has also warned of how Harry and Meghan may be stealing the spotlight away from the royals. He also wondered whether their engagements are clashing with the monarchy’s public schedule.
Prince Harry’s remarks in a GQ interview have added fuel to the fire. He expressed his intention to reconcile with Prince William. He said, “I want it to work out. Of course I do,” adding that “the most important thing is to reconcile.”
The rift between the royal family and the Sussexes stems from the time Harry and Meghan gave up their royal duties and shifted to California in 2020. Since then, the couple has made inflammatory comments about the royal family, often participating in talk shows and events to share their views. The couple’s comeback to Britain has stirred up the rumor mill, with experts discussing whether their public schedules are impacting the monarchy’s official engagements.
