“I’ve spent all my life investing in women. Can I finally invest in me?” said the wishful princess of self-pity Meghan Markle. She was with a group of females during her four-day phoney-royal trip to Australia in April.
Meghan and Prince Harry have recently turned round and want to get back to life within the Royal Family, but in their own way. They want roles that they can control, showing that they are livelier and more knowledgeable about today’s world than anyone else in the family.
Harry has been nagging his ailing father to take over some of his responsibility, an irritation that does not help the King with his recovery from cancer. For example, after Harry spent time in Australia he went to Ukraine to give an inappropriate speech aimed directly at US President Donald Trump and Russia’s president Vladimir Putin, telling them to stop their wars. British officials were forced to remind the media that “Harry’s view is not the British government’s view.”
The couple also want money. Harry has apparently nearly used up the $20m his mother Princess Diana left him, while Netflix has ended its partnership with Meghan’s lifestyle brand. Nonetheless, rather surprisingly Meghan is hoping they will help make a series to celebrate her and Harry’s eighth year of marriage.
Many people felt King Charles should not give a speech during his four-day visit to America to mark the 250th anniversary of American independence. There was concern he would fail and Trump is difficult to anticipate. Nonetheless the King went ahead with his speech to Congress. Trump called him “the greatest king” and the King received a standing ovation, after hailing the “unique alliance” between the UK and the US.
Harry and Meghan, however, have apparently been “fuming” that the King did not invite them to join him in Washington for the anniversary celebrations, an example of their ridiculous bullying since they had previously been publicly rude about both the King and Trump. Nor are they working royals any more, which is their own wish.
On the fourth day of Harry and Meghan’s pseudo-royal to Australia they met survivors and emergency responders from the terror attack on Bondi Beach in which 15 people were killed and 45 wounded. Meghan, however, thought the visit was an ideal opportunity to sell clothes, some of which she wore on the beach, on the fashion platform OneOff, in which she is an investor. Many thought it was an appalling and disrespectful thing to do for a tragedy-linked event.
King Charles was reportedly furious. It was shocking behaviour from his son and daughter-in-law. Royals are expected to support, not take profit.
Back home, the King has appointed new staff aimed at healing the long-standing rift between Prince William and Prince Harry, with a key aide aiming to “knock their heads together”.
It is hard to believe. William and his wife Princess Catherine want nothing to do with Harry, while Harry believes Meghan is always right and has everything she wants, which makes her difficult. Meanwhile, Charles has had a photograph of Meghan removed from display at Highgrove, his country home in Gloucestershire.
Harry however is “very sad” that his children Archie and Lilibet are “missing out on life” by not seeing the wonders of the UK.
It was, of course, his own responsibility to march off with Meghan, their dogs and Meghan’s mother in a plane he called “Freedom Flight”. It’s been described as the ultimate “revenge” move.
They both seem know now that they got it wrong, but Harry was love-lost and Meghan didn’t want to walk behind Catherine at royal events.
Meghan’s popularity has sunk to a new low. She was not invited to the Met Gala, known as “the fashion’s biggest night out.” Anna Wintour, the Kardashians and Serena Williams are no longer interested in her, a shock as Meghan still thinks she should be with the top celebrity tier.
There are regular hints that Meghan is writing a memoir of her life with the royals, no doubt to keep as many people as anxious as possible. There might be another TV film, containing unwelcome surprises for the royals. Or just because she has to get her revenge she might just set out to hurt those who haven’t worshipped her, without, I fear, taking any notice of Harry.
