Prince Harry began a lawsuit against the Home Office in 2020 after changes were made to his security in the UK after he stepped down as a senior working Royal. A Royal expert has now claimed that the couple are trying to “punish somebody”.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle seem to be on a mission “to punish somebody” amid their ongoing feud with the Royal Family, according to a Royal expert.
Harry initiated legal action against the Home Office in 2020 following alterations to his security arrangements in the UK after he resigned from his senior Royal duties. The 39-year-old has relocated to the US with Meghan and their two children, where they have been living for the past four years.
Discussing the prolonged security dispute on TalkTV, Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield suggested that the couple appears to be trying “to punish somebody” by prolonging the issue. Ms Schofield said: “Meghan not coming during several of the last visits, Harry refusing to stay at the Palace. It’s almost as if they’re trying to prove their point by saying, ‘Well, Meghan can’t come. She’s not safe enough. Harry can’t stay at the Palace, it’s not safe enough.” She added: “It feels they are creating this distance to punish somebody and to prove some point but the reality is that’s the safest Harry would have been.”
Harry’s taxpayer-funded security was revoked by the Home Office.
Since stepping down as a working royal, Harry has made several visits to the UK – including his most recent trip last month. Harry flew to the UK in early May to attend a special ceremony to mark the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games.
The Duke travelled alone, with Meghan and their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, remaining in the US. Meghan last visited the UK in September 2022, with the visit including an appearance at the late Queen’s funeral. Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3, have not visited the UK since June of that year – with Lilibet having only ever visited the UK once.
Prior to Harry’s visit last month, it was reportedly that Meghan was fearing an “anxiety-fuelled visit” if she and their children were to join him. At the time, an insider told the Mirror : “It’s now got to the point where Meghan doesn’t want to come to the UK with the children. She just doesn’t feel safe.”
In other news, Meghan has been told the two things she finds “really difficult” but will be vital if her new lifestyle brand venture American Riviera Orchard is to become a success.
According to a royal expert and author, the Duchess of Sussex is “struggling to find staff for her new brand”. Earlier in March, Meghan quietly launched her latest business venture. An Instagram account popped up on the platform, introducing American Riviera Orchard to the world. When she first introduced her brand, Meghan teased its aesthetic with a brief video trailer on an Instagram story. She then posted the brand’s logo across a nine-grid collage on the page.
However, after sending out 50 jars of homemade strawberry jam to a select group of celebrity pals, the brand seems to have hit a roadblock. Royal author and expert Tom Quinn suggests that Meghan is having trouble recruiting staff because she has a “tough outlook” and “absolute self-belief” meaning she finds two things “really difficult” when it comes to managing her staff.
Mr Quinn explained: “The result of Meghan’s tough outlook is that she is having difficulties finding staff for her new brand – she wants them to be full of ideas of their own, but also totally compliant to her wishes. Meghan has absolute self-belief…But to make her brand a success she needs to take and accept advice and allow staff who know far more about these things to make some of the decisions. This is really difficult for Meghan as she is not a natural delegator.”
