A former royal aide has issued a blunt message to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, telling them to “go back.” The news emerges amid continued reports of unresolved friction between the Sussexes and the Waleses. Sources have even claimed that Prince William refuses to reconcile with his younger brother, who made startling allegations against the royal family after relocating from the UK in 2020.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s social media updates questioned by former royal family aide
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have come under renewed scrutiny for their digital footprint. A former royal household aide has suggested that they rethink their approach in the UK. The criticism follows their recent social media activity, which has drawn disapproval from within royal circles.
Speaking to TalkTV host Jeremy Kyle, former royal press secretary Dickie Arbiter issued a sharp critique of the Sussexes. He pointed to what he described as inconsistencies in their approach to privacy, suggesting that their public calls for privacy sit uneasily alongside a highly visible social media presence.
The remarks came after Markle’s recent Instagram story showing her children during a countryside outing. It showed Prince Archie riding a scooter down a tree-lined country lane. Princess Lilibet walked beside him with their Labrador Pula, as The Temptations’ “My Girl” played.
Per the Daily Express, the former palace staffer noted, “Look, if they’re so concerned with security, don’t tell people where you are. Don’t tell people what you’re doing, and don’t post on social media. It seems to be a double standard and hypocrisy.”
Arbiter also questioned whether public funds should cover security for the non-working royals. The journalist further took aim at what Harry and Markle anticipate upon returning to Britain. He said that the couple struggled to establish themselves in the US and are now returning with the assumption that doors will automatically open for them in the UK.
Arbiter wrapped up his remarks with a pointed message, saying, “And my suggestion is, pack your bags, go back to America.”
