In a startling intervention, a prominent royal commentator has declared that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's post-Megxit trajectory constitutes a clear and present danger to the very fabric of the British monarchy.
According to the analysis, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's relentless commercialisation of their royal status and their continued public critiques are not merely embarrassing scandals but represent an existential threat unlike any faced by the House of Windsor in recent memory.
The Scobie Fallout: A Calculated Escalation
The recent release of Omid Scobie's controversial book, 'Endgame', is cited as a prime example of this escalating conflict. The book, which reignited a global firestorm by naming the royal alleged to have made comments about Archie's skin tone, is seen not as an isolated incident but as part of a sustained and coordinated campaign against the institution.
This has effectively shifted the narrative from one of internal family discord to a full-blown constitutional and reputational crisis for the monarchy, forcing the Palace into a perpetual state of damage control.
Commercial Ventures vs. Crown Integrity
The expert highlights the fundamental clash between the Sussexes' lucrative commercial endeavours—their Netflix deals, Spotify partnerships, and Meghan's American Riviera Orchard brand—and the monarchy's mandated political neutrality.
This blurring of lines creates an unprecedented problem: a senior royal working for a streaming giant while the sovereign remains constitutionally forbidden from expressing political opinions. This duality, the expert argues, undermines the core principle of an apolitical crown and confuses the public on a global scale.
A Palace Paralyzed by Protocol
Compounding the issue is the Royal Family's traditional "never complain, never explain" doctrine. This stance, once a strength, has become a critical vulnerability in the face of modern, media-savvy opposition.
The Palace's refusal to engage in public rebuttals leaves allegations and insinuations to circulate unchallenged, creating a vacuum often filled by sensationalist speculation. This strategic paralysis has left King Charles III and Prince William seemingly powerless to counter the narrative being built against them.
The ultimate warning from the biographer is clear: the activities of Harry and Meghan are no longer a private matter but a public battle for the monarchy's future. Without a new strategy to counter this unique challenge, the very relevance and stability of the institution could be at stake for generations to come.
