Prince Harry and Meghan Markle began September with great optimism, little suspecting that it would soon turn into a nightmarish ordeal they couldn’t escape. It all started with Prince Harry’s documentary, ‘Heart of Invictus,’ released on Netflix. In it, he candidly discussed his mental health and subtly criticized his royal ties.

Meghan’s absence from the documentary didn’t go unnoticed, raising questions about the strength of their union. Prince Harry’s return to the UK to attend the WellChild Awards was met with a chilly reception. He declined to stay at Windsor Castle, a stark reminder of his estrangement from the royal family.
However, the real storm hit when it was revealed that the Sussexes were attempting to silence teachers and students who had negative experiences during their school visits in 2021. Leaked emails exposed their attempts to control the narrative, even prompting them to turn a simple book reading into a major charity event.
The news of a young child being asked to sign a gag order and the subsequent release of these emails sent shockwaves throughout the public. Their carefully cultivated image of benevolence and compassion was shattered.
April, which had initially held promise, now turned into a month of disaster, overshadowing any positive impressions they had managed to create.
Their efforts to manipulate narratives and maintain a favorable public image had backfired spectacularly, leaving them exposed and vulnerable in a web of their own making. Even the Holy Father expressed doubts about their authenticity and motives.
