The royal family feud deepens as Prince Harry faces backlash over his marriage to Meghan Markle.
Royal expert Tom Bauer revealed in his new book, “Revenge, Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors,” that Harry was cautioned against marrying Meghan by his uncle, Earl Spencer, Princess Diana’s brother.
Not only was Meghan advised against the royal match by her talent agent, but Harry himself was warned to proceed with caution.
Earl Spencer, at the request of Prince William, urged Harry to reconsider his hasty decision towards marriage.
Spencer, who has been married three times, emphasized the importance of deliberation before tying the knot.
This advice reportedly stirred bitter emotions within Harry, who later reflected on the challenges of integrating Meghan into the royal family.
The tensions within the royal family escalated further when footage from Princess Diana’s controversial Panorama interview with journalist Martin Bashir was featured in Harry and Meghan’s new Netflix documentary series.
Prince William expressed his dismay over the inclusion of the deceitful program, which he believed should never be broadcast again.
Sources close to the future king revealed his disappointment in Harry’s disregard for his wishes, highlighting the growing divide between the brothers.
The initial episodes of Harry and Meghan’s documentary were released amidst anticipation of explosive content.
Viewers were shown clips of Diana’s candid revelations in the 1995 interview, where she admitted her discomfort with being in the spotlight.
Harry, reflecting on his mother’s struggles with media intrusion, acknowledged her bravery in speaking out, despite being deceived into giving the interview.
A report by Lord Dyson condemned the BBC for covering up Bashir’s deceptive tactics to secure the Diana interview.
Prince William criticized the network for perpetuating a false narrative that damaged his parents’ relationship and impacted countless others.
The BBC issued an apology to the Royal Family for the circumstances surrounding the Panorama interview, with Director General Tim Davey pledging never to air the program again.
In response to the report, Prince Harry expressed concern over unethical journalistic practices like those of Bashir, emphasizing the detrimental impact of exploitation in media.
He lamented the tragic consequences of such practices, underscoring the need for accountability and integrity in journalism.
Despite the BBC’s apology and commitment to cease airing the Panorama interview, critics, including royal experts Dickie Arbiter and Robert Jobson, condemned Netflix for featuring the contentious footage in Harry and Meghan’s series.
The ongoing rift between Prince William and Prince Harry continues to widen, fueled by conflicting views on the handling of Princess Diana’s legacy and the repercussions of media manipulation.
As the royal family navigates these turbulent waters, the repercussions of past betrayals and deceit cast a shadow over their attempts to reconcile and move forward.
The intricate web of familial dynamics, public scrutiny, and personal vendettas intertwine, shaping the narrative of a modern monarchy grappling with its tumultuous history.
