Some things are hard to believe. A new report says Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are in a big fight with Prince William in Hollywood. Some royal experts even think that Prince William is giving Harry and Meghan a tough time. Keep reading for more details and some throwback news that adds context to their ongoing feud.
Royal commentator Richard Eden believes that Prince William is the reason Harry and Meghan aren’t coming back to the UK. After all the negative things Harry and Meghan have said about the royals, William might never forgive them. Harry and Meghan are definitely feeling the tension now.
In March 2021, Harry and Meghan gave a bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey. They revealed shocking details about their struggles within the royal family, including claims of racism and lack of support. This interview significantly strained their relationship with the rest of the royal family, especially with Prince William.
The biography “Finding Freedom,” published in August 2020, further widened the gap. The book, which detailed Harry and Meghan’s side of the story, painted a picture of a cold and unsupportive royal family. Prince William was reportedly very upset about the book’s portrayal of him and the institution.
In September 2020, Harry and Meghan signed a multi-million dollar deal with Netflix to produce content. This move was seen as a direct step into the Hollywood limelight, a space traditionally distant from the royal family’s duties. Their ventures in Hollywood have been perceived as a move to establish themselves independently from the royal family, creating more friction with William, who has stuck to traditional royal roles.
Despite this, Harry and Meghan think they deserve an apology. One source said, “We thought everyone would come to see us, but it’s not happening.” Eden also mentioned that Prince William’s selfie with popstar Taylor Swift must have been a blow to Meghan Markle.
A few years ago, Taylor Swift turned down Meghan’s offer to appear on her podcast, which left Meghan upset. Eden pointed out that Taylor’s respect for the royal family contrasts with Harry and Meghan’s efforts to gain favor with Hollywood celebrities. The recent selfie of William with Taylor Swift during a charity event was seen as a strategic move, highlighting his more traditional and widely accepted royal presence.
In addition to their Netflix deal, Harry and Meghan also signed a deal with Spotify to produce podcasts. However, their podcast efforts have faced challenges and criticisms, unlike their initial expectations. This has added to their struggles in finding a firm footing in Hollywood.
So far, neither Prince Harry nor Meghan Markle have commented on the situation, and it’s unlikely they will. The ongoing tension highlights the deepening divide between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family, especially as they navigate their new lives in the public eye of Hollywood.
