Meghan Markle and Prince Harry must stop talking about royals and 'monetizing' crown to end spat, expert claims
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly aiming to resolve their ongoing rift with the royal family but it appears more efforts are needed.
Royal expert Russell Myers weighed in on the subject, saying, "Members from the royal family have told Harry, if he wants a relationship with the rest of the family, then first and foremost, he has got to stop talking about them," as per OK Magazine.
Royal expert Russel Myers thinks Meghan Markle and Prince Harry should realize that they need to quit 'trashing' the royal family
He noted, "They can’t go about making money off their associations with the royal family. They’re going to [have to] sort of realize, if they’re going to have a relationship with the rest of the royal family, they can’t go about trashing them."
Myers claimed that the royal family is united and strong even without them, observing, "Hopefully, they’ll see that the royal family is very united without them, and if they do want a relationship, going forward, they need to take the steam out of their relationship and out of the things they sometimes say."
While speaking to an outlet in an interview about Harry and Meghan, royal author Christopher Anderson said there is no foreseeable way in which they’ll ever be welcomed back.
"Even if Harry was to throw himself at the king’s feet and beg for forgiveness — which Harry is not about to do — the best he could hope for would be crumbs from the royal table, and the sort of grudging acceptance that is currently being afforded to Harry’s disgraced uncle, Prince Andrew", offered Anderson.
After the "Megxit" in 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have often faced criticism from royal analysts and historians for severing their royal duties. The statements by Anderson and Myers add to that narrative.
Anderson further stated, "If Harry and Meghan are determined to monetize their titles, then they’ll just be digging that hole deeper and deeper."
He added, "But if they simply use their California-centric celebrity to build their brand and steer clear of overtly capitalizing on the Sussex name and Windsor connection — well, everybody has a right to make a living. Even then, there would still be acrimony and zero chance of Harry getting back into the king’s and William’s good graces."
Celebrity biographer reveals why Meghan Markle and Victoria Beckham's friendship went downhill
Meghan's relationship with Victoria Beckham allegedly soured over demands for free fashion items, as detailed in Tom Bower's latest book, 'The House of Beckham'. The tell-all biography sheds light on the intricate dynamics between the Duchess of Sussex and the celebrated fashion designer, highlighting moments of friendship followed by discord.
According to Bower, Meghan, during her engagement to Prince Harry, sought complimentary handbags and clothes from Victoria. However, Buckingham Palace's strict rules prohibiting such gifts reportedly led to the request being denied.
Despite this setback, Meghan and the Beckhams enjoyed a close relationship initially, with the former even staying at their Beverly Hills residence during a visit to Los Angeles.
Initially, Victoria's team extended hospitality to Meghan, offering beauty advice that included recommendations for top facials and hairdressers in London.
However, tensions escalated when Meghan allegedly suspected Victoria of leaking personal information to the press. This suspicion arose after The Sun reported that Victoria had provided makeup advice to Meghan, prompting the Duchess to question her friend's loyalty and confidentiality.
Bower's account suggests that this incident marked a turning point in the relationship between the two influential women. What began as a promising friendship turned into mistrust and strained interactions, illustrating the delicate balance between personal associations and public scrutiny within high-profile circles.
