Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are allegedly “constantly at war” and struggling to define their true identity, according to royal experts. This ongoing battle to control the narrative around their relationship and public persona has reportedly created tension and confusion about their motives and future.
Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield recently highlighted the strain that has marked the couple’s six-year anniversary. “They’ve created this ‘us against the world’ relationship, but the constant stress and legal battles, as shown in their Netflix documentary, suggest they rarely find moments of peace,” she noted. “It feels like they’re always fighting someone or something. When do they get a chance to breathe?”
Schofield’s observations were echoed by fellow royal watcher Rupert Bell, who believes the Sussexes need to “put the past behind them and move forward.” Bell argued that Harry and Meghan must decide what they truly want to be.
“They are no longer working royals but are now a commercial entity. They should be clear about their motives, even if they include philanthropic efforts. Their constant negativity about their past life only adds to the confusion.”
Bell also emphasized the couple’s desire to “control the narrative” around their lives. “This need for control was a major reason for their departure from the royal family. They wanted everything to be on their terms, which wasn’t possible within the royal framework,” he explained.
Is there still hope for Harry and his children?
Despite the ongoing tensions, there are signs that Harry might still be welcomed back into the royal fold, at least temporarily. Ingrid Seward, a royal expert, mentioned that Harry, Meghan, and their children, Archie and Lilibet, are likely to be invited to Balmoral this summer.
“The Royal Family traditionally spends August together at Balmoral, and King Charles III continues to cherish this time. Despite the feud, there’s no doubt that an invitation will be extended to Harry and his family.”
However, Seward pointed out that security concerns could hinder any potential reunion. “Harry and Meghan’s security fears might be a significant stumbling block. But it’s almost certain they have been invited.”
The Nigerian tour tells it all
The Sussexes’ recent trip to Nigeria, perceived by many as an attempt to position themselves as global figures, further underscores their desire for control. “Their trip to Nigeria, and others like it, show that they still want to be seen as important figures. They want to feel acknowledged and respected, something they felt they lacked in the UK,” Schofield said.
As the couple navigates their new life, the question remains: will they ever find the balance and peace they seek, or will the quest for control continue to overshadow their journey?
