Just when we thought the saga of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle couldn’t get any more dramatic, King Charles and Queen Camilla‘s recent royal tour in Australia stole the spotlight.
The enthusiasm from the Australian public was palpable, creating a stark contrast to the lukewarm responses the Sussexes received during their own visits.
It’s almost as if Harry and Meghan have become the punchlines in a royal comedy, overshadowed by the main act they once were part of.
On a bustling Tuesday afternoon in Sydney, around 10,000 fans turned out to cheer for King Charles and Queen Camilla.
The scene resembled that of a rock concert, with fans clamoring for a glimpse of the beloved royals.
This overwhelming reception highlighted a shift in public sentiment; it seems Australians are now more enamored with the core members of the royal family rather than the once-fresh faces of Harry and Meghan.
Back in 2018, during their Australian tour, the couple didn’t receive nearly the same level of adoration.
Many are now questioning whether Meghan ever truly believed her Hollywood background would endear her to the royal family’s supporters.
The reality is clear: the crowd in Australia was there for the monarchy itself—a centuries-old institution that continues to capture hearts across the globe.
Meanwhile, Meghan appears to be on a mission to tarnish the monarchy’s reputation, feeling slighted by her perceived exclusion from its inner circle.
Tom Bauer’s book, Revenge, reveals that the Sussexes’ prior tour was fraught with tension.
An insider, Samantha Cohen, disclosed that a replacement had to step in midway through the trip due to the mounting stress.
One of the more scandalous stories from that tour involves an alleged confrontation between Meghan and Lady Cosgrove, the wife of Australia’s Governor-General.
When Meghan’s request to stay at Admiralty House was denied, her reaction was reportedly dramatic.
Eyewitnesses claim she exclaimed, “Don’t you know who I am?” as if her royal title should have granted her special privileges over the residence.
The drama didn’t stop there.
Meghan also made headlines for her insistence on having banana bread prepared by the kitchen staff, which only escalated tensions further.
Additionally, she pushed to participate in the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge climb despite being advised against it due to health concerns related to her pregnancy.
When she ultimately couldn’t join, the Australian Prime Minister stepped in as her replacement.
Such pressures seemed to take a toll on Harry and Meghan’s relationship throughout the tour.
Rumors swirled that the couple argued frequently and even resorted to sleeping in separate rooms.
Sources suggest that Harry found himself apologizing to officials for Meghan’s behavior, further complicating their already strained public image.
In another eyebrow-raising moment, Meghan reportedly declined to wear traditional Akubra hats gifted by the Governor-General, citing their rabbit fur composition, even as she continued to sport leather shoes.
This selective approach to gifts raised eyebrows among onlookers and insiders alike.
Allegations of Meghan mistreating staff at Admiralty House began to surface, with claims that she displayed kindness only toward those deemed attractive.
