Harry and Meghan Markle, close to a point of no return with the royal family: here’s why

In London they would not be willing to postpone any statements by the Sussexes against the monarchy and Charles III would already be thinking about how to act, supported by his eldest son William; father and son will join forces when the documentary comes out next week. Always according to the daily mail, moreover, the Sussexes intend to contact the Royal House when all the hype around this project has subsided. But by then it could really be too late: everything will depend on the content of the docuseries, as well as that of Harry’s book, due out on January 10th. «There is a completely united front from the king and his family regarding attempts to make peace privately with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, who sadly once again have decided to air their repeated grievances to the world,” a source told the The mirror. “If there is a need to respond to something, the response will be quick and effective.”

At this point one wonders if Harry and Meghan are really interested in mending their relationship with the royal family. According to the The sunBefore her death Queen Elizabeth would have made every attempt to reunite her son and grandson, and when Charles stopped answering Harry’s phone calls, the latter would have started looking more and more insistently for his grandmother. At the center of the discussions, always i money. “Why don’t you talk to your father?” the Queen asked Harry, «Because I’m not a bank», Carlo cut short when the mother asked him why he didn’t answer the son.

Between the two parties, then, the ice would have dropped as soon as the news of the release of Harry’s book became known. Carlo was afraid that his son would use any conversations to his likingthat’s why he would always invite him to write him emails for any possible request. No wonder. After the experience with Lady Diana, Carlo does not trust, especially those who could harm the monarchy, including his son, that’s why he refuses unwitnessed interviews and potentially dangerous phone calls, as does William.

To add spice to everything, on the eve of the release of the docuseries it was also known that the dukes of Sussex took photos inside Buckingham Palace without asking the sovereign’s permission, when she was still alive. In the trailer released by Netflix, in fact, at a certain point we see the couple walking hand in hand towards one of the entrances that overlook the garden. On this point, the protocol does not compromise: no one can take pictures or film inside Buckingham Palace without permission. The photos, according to the most plausible hypothesis, would have been taken in 2020, during the last events in which Harry and Meghan participated as royal elder. However, the tipping point has not yet been reached. But it could be very close: “If Harry is too critical of Camilla or blames too much on his father, Carlo will definitely close the door.” the real author Phil Dampier is convinced of this.

In the end, the whole question could be reduced to a single question: how far do Harry and Meghan want to go?
