The ongoing tension between the British royal family and Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, has taken a new turn, as reports suggest that King Charles has effectively given up on making amends with his younger son and his wife.
Since their dramatic departure from the UK in 2020, the Sussexes have repeatedly attacked the royal institution through a series of high-profile interviews, the Netflix documentary “Harry & Meghan,” and most recently, Prince Harry’s memoir “Spare.” These public airing of grievances have left the reigning monarch, King Charles III, deeply “hurt,” according to a new book by royal historian and author Robert Hardman.
In his latest work, “Charles III: New King. New Court. The Inside Story,” Hardman provides a fascinating insight into the King’s perspective on the ongoing rift with his son and daughter-in-law. The author claims that Charles has tried to listen and find a resolution, but has now reached a point of resignation, focusing instead on his duties as the new sovereign.
“Of course, the King is extremely sad about Harry and Meghan, but there is a sense of exasperation, that he has done what he can and now he is King, there are many more things to think about,” Hardman writes. “He has tried listening. Now he just says: ‘I don’t want to know what the problem is. I’m just getting on with my life.’”
This sentiment reflects a marked shift in the King’s approach, as he appears to have abandoned any further attempts at reconciliation with the Sussexes, who have continued to level criticism against the royal family.
The tensions between the Windsors and the Sussexes have been further exacerbated by recent reports of a rift between Meghan Markle and King Charles himself. Royal expert and commentator Angela Levin revealed that Meghan was “very upset” about the King’s decision to sell his own brand of jam, allegedly feeling that he was encroaching on her territory.””
However, Levin dismissed this notion, stating that it is “not in his nature” for the King to intentionally undermine his daughter-in-law. She suggested that the reported incident was likely an overreaction on Meghan’s part, further highlighting the delicate and strained relationship between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family.
The ongoing saga continues to captivate the public’s attention, with the King’s apparent resignation from seeking reconciliation marking a significant development in the complex and deeply personal conflict that has gripped the House of Windsor.
It was supposed to be her biggest hit of the year, but it’s already turned out to be a huge flop. There’s heavy speculation on social media that suggests Meghan Markle might have already given up on her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard.
Has Meghan Markle Given Up On Her Lifestyle Brand?
Even though she did debut a few items, including very overpriced jams that she sent out to her friends and influencers, not much has been said about her brand and whether or not it’s going to hit stores anytime soon.
Truth be told, it seems like Meghan Markle doesn’t even know what direction the brand is going in. That’s mostly because she failed to generate any buzz when she first announced it earlier in the year.
Sure, Meghan probably wants to blame Kate Middleton for her failure, since she announced her line only a few short weeks after the Princess of Wales announced that she had cancer, but the reality is, no one really cares.
No one wants to buy Meghan Markle’s jams, her chicken feed or even her dog food for that matter.
