Since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced their decision to step down as senior royal staff in 2020, the past few years have been eventful for them. While their departure caused unease and controversy at the time, the couple later carved out their own path in California.
However, just when the relationship between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle and the rest of the "company" seems to be thawing, new troubles may be brewing again. According to sources, Meghan and Prince Harry have received very clear conditions from the royal hierarchy - they can no longer speak ill of members of the royal family. According to reports, if this provision is not complied with, the couple could be evicted from the family for the second time.
A person familiar with the matter claimed that there had been discussions within the royal family to clearly warn Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. "Meghan and Prince Harry must agree not to speak ill of royals again. It's a must," the source revealed. "It would be very embarrassing if they were kicked out of the family for the second time. ”
The source's words are significant considering the damage caused by Prince Harry and Meghan's **sexual remarks made in the past year during interviews with Oprah Winfrey and other leaked moments. Allegations of racism and a lack of support for Meghan's mental health needs have raised serious questions about attitudes within the Windsor royal family.
While the royals dutifully remain silent in public, it is understandable that in private, the anger and hurt felt by senior members like the current Prince of Wales, Prince William, have not yet fully subsided. Duncan Lacombe, a royal expert and former royal editor at The Sun, said members of the royal family were still angry at the accusations made against them by Prince Harry and Meghan.
In an interview with New Magazine, Lacomb said: "I think Prince Harry and Meghan Markle know that the Prince and Princess of Wales are still angry, and Kate's name in that book will reignite William's anger." He was referring to the forthcoming royal biography, Endgame, which is rumored to contain more damaging allegations.
Lacombe went on to add that while it could theoretically one day regain the royal family's favor, the current mood within the family is very much against Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. "There's always a way back. Look at Camilla, who used to be the most hated person in Britain and now she's the queen. If this is possible, anything is possible. But as things stand, I'd say it's almost unthinkable. ”
The expert's view highlights how precarious Prince Harry and Meghan's position still is, despite their attempts to reconcile by returning to the UK and extending an olive branch to the Queen, such as visiting her at Windsor Castle shortly before her death. Once again, public criticism of the monarchy's mistakes could lead to a complete rupture in relations between the two countries. Expulsion from royal activities and inner circles will be inevitable.
It is clear that for William, the wound remains deep after Prince Harry's decision to speak publicly about private family issues made him feel betrayed. The brothers' long-broken relationship shows little signs of repair, with sources suggesting that they still don't speak. For Meghan, she dragged the royal family into the quagmire of accusations and did not have a chance to defend herself, which disowned her from the law firm.
The couple is well aware of the anger that is currently in place and it seems that they have clearly told the couple – from now on, don't be critical of the royal family or risk ruining any hope of redemption in the family you are leaving. Another unpleasant ** may put you on a path of no return.
The situation of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle suggests that the royal family has taken a firmer stance as they walked around the carriage after feeling wounded. Public garbage can no longer be tolerated. It remains to be seen how Prince Harry and Meghan will respond to such an ultimatum. Will they be submissive, or will they continue to maintain their intimacy with the royal family by selling books and interviewing them, thus having the best of both worlds?Time will tell if another conflict is inevitable.
For now, the ball seems to be firmly on their side. During their visit to the UK, either comply with the "gag order" and maintain the charm offensive, or ignore requests to protect privacy and be expelled from the field for good. In any case, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's future in the royal family hangs by a thread. One wrong move, and they could find themselves fired for the last time by an agency that has a long memory of perceived trickery.
For the ambitious, independent-thinking Meghan, permanently losing the status of the golden inner circle she married into could be a bitter pill. Her critics often accuse her of simply using the royal family as a platform to accelerate her celebrity and influence, and then get tired of the royal family's strict restrictions. Time will tell if playing by the rules and hiding hostility is the price of retention.
Now that their lives have settled down in California, it is unknown how important the royal family's redemption is. But one thing is for sure – Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will be in dire pain if the ultimatum from Buckingham Palace is reportedly ignored. From now on, in order to remain in the game of the royal family, they must follow the rules of the royal family. Public discontent is no longer tolerated. The decision is in the hands of Meghan and Prince Harry, who will either prove their commitment or leave Britain's most famous family for good.
