Meghan Markle and Prince Harry‘s decision to relocate their office from Kensington Palace has sparked increased media scrutiny on their relationship with Prince William and Kate, Duchess of Cambridge, according to royal expert Royer Nick Haar in a recent documentary.
The ongoing feud between Harry and Meghan and the rest of the royal family has been closely examined by experts, who have written books, conducted analyses, and interviewed key figures in an attempt to unravel the complexities of the situation.
However, much of the fallout and its underlying reasons remain shrouded in mystery.
The BBC’s recent installment of The Prince’s and the Press, aired last night, made a comprehensive effort to address the ongoing saga.
The documentary’s narrator, Amol Rajan, engaged with individuals close to the royal family or possessing insights into its dynamics, with a particular focus on the media’s coverage of the controversy.
Harry and Meghan’s announcement of their intention to step back from the royal family last year took many by surprise, although some had anticipated such a move given the couple’s previous experiences within the institution.
Signs of discord began to surface in March 2019 when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex established their own office at Buckingham Palace, breaking away from their shared household with William and Kate at Kensington Palace.
Roya Nikhar, the Sunday Times royal editor, noted that this separation fueled speculation about the relationships within the royal family, emphasizing the impact of having distinct aides and communication teams briefing the media.
Following the relocation of their staff from Kensington Palace to Buckingham Palace in late 2019, as indicated by entries in the court circular documenting royal engagements, it became evident that Harry and Meghan were forging a new path separate from William and Kate.
A statement from Buckingham Palace confirmed the establishment of a new household for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, supported by the Queen and the Prince of Wales, with their office based at Buckingham Palace.
Subsequently, William and Kate announced their decision to maintain their royal foundation, while Harry and Meghan embarked on establishing their own organization to champion causes close to their hearts.
The launch of the Sussex Royal Foundation was short-lived, however, as the couple stepped back from their senior royal roles, leading to the creation of the Archule Foundation, which aims to support charitable endeavors and features a business division focusing on media and production.
Meghan Markle‘s lawyer vehemently refuted allegations that the Duchess had instilled fear in her staff to the point of psychological trauma, countering claims made in the BBC’s contentious documentary The Princes and the Press.
The program delved into Harry and Meghan’s departure from the royal family, highlighting The Sun’s revelations on the Megxit saga.
Despite reports of bullying, Meghan’s lawyer, Jenny Affia, dismissed the accusations, stating that there were significant inaccuracies in the narrative and asserting that Meghan is not a bully.
