Just when it looked like the relationship between the Sussexes and the royal family might be thawing, it seems a new crisis may have aggravated the situation, and the battle rages on.
First, Prince Harry joined his wife, the Duchess of Sussex, to lift the lid on royal life to Oprah Winfrey back in 2021, and more recent revelations in Harry’s autobiography Spare caused major upset for the royals.
Now, things have gone from bad to worse, after King Charles and the Princess of Wales were named in the Dutch version of journalist Omid Scobie’s book Endgame, in relation to alleged queries about the colour of Harry and Meghan’s son Archie’s skin.
The book’s author, who was once dubbed “Meghan’s mouthpiece” by the UK press, denied having named the senior royals in relation to the shock allegation, and states that he did not speak to Harry and Meghan for the book.
Now, a royal expert claims Meghan has sent a “secret message” to her father-in-law in an attempt to salvage a relationship, but that the prospect of fixing things with Kate and William, both 41, is “pretty unthinkable”.
In Meghan’s first public outing since the royal racism row was reignited, the 42-year-old duchess wore a 92-diamond tennis bracelet gifted to her by the King before she married Harry, 39.
“Wearing the bracelet wasn’t an oversight,” journalist Duncan Larcombe tells new. “If someone gives you a present and you wear it publicly, it’s a little gesture – and in the world of the royals, little gestures often take on real significance.
“It would’ve been carefully thought through, as some sort of secret message,” he claims.
