On March 22, 2024, Kate Middleton shared a video in which she opened up of her cancer diagnosis. At the same time, King Charles is also battling cancer and is receiving weekly treatments in London. Amidst their fight with the disease, it is Queen Camilla and Prince William who have been performing royal duties.
It’s safe to say that the royals are going through rough times, and that didn’t start with Kate’s and Charles’ diagnosis.
Unfortunately, what triggered relationships to be affected and bridges to be burned was Harry and Meghan‘s decision to step down from their royal duties some four years ago. They took a flight to America, which they referred to as to a “Freedom Flight,” and left Britain behind in order to get away from the media scrutiny.
However, what happened was just the opposite. Instead of turning to a quiet life they claimed they longed for, Harry and Meghan got exposed in the media as never before.
They gave Oprah an interview in which they opened up of the royal life, accusing the members of the Firm of racism and turning a blind eye to Meghan’s mental issues.
The most startling revelation came when Meghan asserted that discussions had taken place within the palace regarding the potential darkness of Archie’s skin.
When questioned by Oprah about this, Meghan responded, expressing her inability to probe further into the matter. She refrained from disclosing the identity of the individual involved, stating that it could cause significant harm to them.
What added fuel to the fire was the couple’s Netflix series and Harry’s book Spare in which he revealed plenty of sensitive details about his family. Among the rest, he spoke of his father and how he didn’t hugged him when the news of his mother’s passing reached him, said he wondered if Camilla would be cruel to him “like all the wicked stepmothers in storybooks,” and discussed the alleged feud between Meghan and Kate.
Harry wrote that on their wedding day, Kate made Meghan cry and detailed the alleged row between Meghan and Kate whose relationship could be described as picture perfect back in the day when the two could be seen hanging out together during numerous royal occasions, as well as a tennis match.
According to Harry, Kate wasn’t happy with Princess Charlotte’s dress, who was a flower-girl.
However, although Kate claimed her daughter was in distress because of the dress, which allegedly was “too big, too long, too baggy,” she refused to meet Meghan’s tailor at Kensington Palace to have it fixed.
“Meg asked if Kate was aware of what was going on right now. With her father,” Harry said. “Kate said she was well aware, but the dresses. And the wedding is in four days!”
“I’m not sure what else to say. If the dress doesn’t fit then, please take Charlotte to see Ajay. He’s been waiting all day,” Meghan texted Kate, according to Harry.
Kate replied with, “Fine.”
Harry further wrote that when he arrived home, he found his then future wife sobbing on the floor. “It was intolerable but temporary. Kate hadn’t meant any harm, I told her.”
In their book Finding Freedom, authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand claimed that “Meghan would agree with the assessment that the duchesses were not the best of friends,” and that “their relationship hadn’t progressed much since [Markle] was Harry’s girlfriend.”
According to them, Kate wasn’t welcoming and didn’t take Meghan under her wing as most people expected. Out of everyone in the family, she knew best what it was like to be getting inside the Firm as a ‘newcomer.’
“Meghan was disappointed that she and Kate hadn’t bonded over the position they shared, but she wasn’t losing sleep over it,” Durand and Scobie wrote, adding that “Meghan would far rather have had Kate check in on her during the most difficult times with the press.”
However, when the Sussexes learned of Kate’s surgery and Charles’ cancer diagnosis, they reached to them. Harry jetted to his homeland to spend time with his father. The trip to his homeland was swift, and of course, it didn’t end without controversy. The two were said to have had several “warm exchanges” during Harry’s visit, and their meeting lasted about 30 minutes. However, that Harry could possibly return to royal life was not something William was having a bar of.
“Whatever has been discussed between William and the King is private, but it is absolutely and categorically clear that he [William] would not allow Harry to return. He thought it was a bad idea at the time and he’s even more clear now,” a source shared with The Mirror.
Prince William was said to had no intentions of meeting with his brother, and as per Radar Online, Camilla wasn’t happy with the fact Harry met Charles without the Palace’s approval.
“Her Majesty was furious Harry flew in from his ritzy California home without getting palace approval — and came with an attitude,” a source is said to have told the National Enquirer.
The same report stated that Harry asked from Camilla to leave the room because he wanted to talk to his father in private. “I’m told Camilla was outraged,” the source went on. “She’s taken a lot of bile from Harry for years and couldn’t wait to let him have it.”
The source continued: “Camilla has taken it all on the chin, but using her husband’s cancer as a ‘loving son’ PR stunt was the last straw. After the father-son reunion, I hear she told Harry he’s a disgrace to his father, the family, and the monarchy – and she left no doubt he isn’t wanted back!”
According to royal author Lady C (Lady Colin Campbell) the Harry and Meghan feud actually has brought King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and Kate Middleton closer together.
She stated that the four senior royals are “almost a unit,” adding that they “function in keeping with the best interest” of each other and not only the monarchy.
“Because they’re all very decent, family orientated, and loving people who want everything to go as well as it can. They’re very positive, the four of them. All this adversity, not only the health issues, but all of the problems with Harry and Meghan has brought them all together,” Lady C said.
Further, she claimed that the chances of King Charles asking from the Sussexes to return to their royal duties are nonexistent.
Moreover, Lady C claimed that Harry and Meghan don’t regret leaving royal life.
“I don’t think Meghan is capable of regret, she isn’t Kate. Her personality type is not that of somebody who learns from their mistake, and she blames everybody else for her errors;” Lady C said on GB News.
“She’s tried every trick in the book to keep herself absolved of all responsibility. I’ve been told that she is enraged by the situation because no matter what she does, it flops. No matter what Catherine does, even when she does nothing, it succeeds. And I mean, that’s infuriating for her personal life.”
“You see, it was it wasn’t only about the position, it was about the money,” she concluded. “Meghan came into the Royal Family with the expectation that she would be able to milk those udders and that she was going to be able to end up having a billionaire lifestyle.”
