Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are once again making headlines, reportedly for wrongdoing. According to a source, royal insiders have accused the Sussexes of ‘hijacking’ King Charles’ recent high-profile visit to Northern Ireland by releasing their unseen wedding pictures on social media around the same time of his travel to mark their 8th anniversary.

On the occasion of their anniversary, Meghan Markle shared many never-before-seen wedding pictures of her and Prince Harry on Instagram, piquing everyone’s interest. And this move by the couple was not appreciated by royal insiders, as they believed the Sussexes tried to hog the limelight during King Charles’ recent three-day visit to Northern Ireland.
“There is enormous frustration in some Palace circles because this pattern keeps repeating itself,” a source told RadarOnline.com. Revealing the reason for “frustration,” the individual stated that “every time there is a major royal engagement involving the King or Queen, something appears from Harry and Meghan that drags media attention back toward themselves,” and the royal family views this as a “cringeworthy and deliberate, and an attempt to hijack Charles’ activities.”
The tipster even added that Markle’s “timing” to share her wedding photos during Charles and Camilla’s Northern Ireland tour raised eyebrows immediately, as staff “feel royal visits should be about the public engagements themselves, not competing headlines generated from California.” Even advisors around the monarch believe that his younger son “is trying to rebuild relevance in Britain through carefully staged interventions tied to emotional causes.”
The feeling became stronger, especially after Harry overshadowed the monarch on multiple events, including his visit to Ukraine on the eve of his father’s visit to the US and his recent article on The New Statesman during Kate Middleton’s visit to Italy. Looking at the pattern, critics feel “that every speech, article, or appearance has become part of a broader image rehabilitation campaign for Harry.” However, the source thinks, “it is clashing badly with the public efforts of the rest of the royal family.”
