A former royal butler has warned that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle “won’t back down” in their latest clash with Buckingham Palace. Grant Harrold told GB News the couple’s response to a letter clarifying their private status risks “long-term damage” to Harry’s relationship with the King.
Another war of words
He said: “I think it’s going to be another war of words, and this is the battle lines being drawn up.” Mr Harrold claimed the exchange mirrors their 2020 departure and “could really be a step backwards” after tentative signs of improvement.
King in a hard position
He added that the King is now in “a very hard position” as the dispute escalates. In short, the Palace battle means only one thing: the royal rift is set to deepen further, he suggested.
