Prince Harry and Meghan Markle appear to have been entirely cut off from all royal communications.

Meghan Markle’s latest blunder has shown the Royal Family does not trust her and Prince Harry with sensitive information, two royal experts have suggested.

The Duchess of Sussex last week faced a backlash after a close friend of the Duke, polo player Nacho Figueras, promoted the latest batch of products by her brand, American Riviera Orchard, mere hours before Trooping the Colour.

Commentator Richard Eden said: “Meghan has done these publicity stunts where she’s sent out good and encouraged friends and influencers to post about it.

“But you never know when they’re going to do it or what they’ll say so it’s completely out of your control.

“Yes, you get great publicity when these people say, ‘I got my latest jam,’ but it’s embarrassing if it’s just before Catherine’s appearance at Trooping. It can look very pointed.”

Fellow Daily Mail’s Palace Confidential guest Rebecca English added: “It is clumsy. You can’t expect them to have known that the announcement was coming out because people don’t tell them things because they don’t trust them.”
