Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Respond to Claims That Canada Trip Will Decide Their Fate in Royal Family
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are not letting rumors about their future in the Royal family get to them. The couple is currently in Canada for the Invictus Games, and they are determined to prove that their relationship with the royal family is not hanging by a thread.
A representative for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex told the Mirror, “We’ve heard time and time again that certain opportunities are make or break for the couple. They’re still here. They’re still working and pursuing what they believe in, despite constantly being challenged and criticized. This couple will not be broken.”
The statement was in response to an article claiming that the couple’s behavior during their public appearances in Vancouver this week will determine whether they can salvage their relationship with the royal family. However, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are shooting down these claims and are determined to show that they are committed to their work and causes.
While the couple is in Vancouver to plan the 2025 Invictus Games, palace officials will likely be keeping a close eye on their activities. This comes just one week after Prince Harry had a 45-minute meeting with his cancer-stricken father, King Charles. Details about the meeting have been kept hidden, but it is expected that Prince Harry will be asked about it during his press engagements to promote the 2025 games.
If Prince Harry wants to move forward with his plans for reconciliation with his father, he will have to “keep schtum” in Canada, as previous reports have suggested. The Duke of Sussex is currently trying to rebuild his relationship with King Charles, who was recently diagnosed with cancer.
However, before even arriving in Canada, the couple faced criticism for launching a new website called Sussex.com, which featured their royal titles and the UK coat of arms. This move raised eyebrows as they had resigned from their royal duties four years ago. Additionally, it was revealed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have given their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, the Sussex title as their surname instead of Mountbatten-Windsor. This upset many royal fans who believed that the couple had promised Queen Elizabeth II that they would no longer use the name Sussex Royal for their personal brands.
Despite the backlash, a source close to the couple defended their choices, stating, “Prince Harry and Meghan are the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. That is a fact. It is their surname and family name.”
The couple’s trip to Canada for the Invictus Games is not a make or break moment for their relationship with the royal family. They are determined to continue working on their causes and proving that they are committed to making a difference. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will not let criticism or rumors define their future.
