Rumors initially circulated that Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan had received an invitation to King Charles' birthday party, with many seeing this as a potential opportunity for reconciliation - a chance to heal the rift that has deepened in recent years. Ta. However, this appears not to have been their intention, and the Sussexes decided to decline the invitation in pursuit of their own attention and agenda, effectively turning their backs on the possibility of reconciliation.
Notably, neither Buckingham Palace nor the Sussexes have made any public statement on the matter. Nevertheless, the signs are clear and we can assume that Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan will not make the transatlantic trip for this family event. Paul Pearl, Princess Diana's former butler and royal commentator, sheds light on this complex situation. He keenly points out the dilemma facing the royal family. Either extend the invitation, enjoy the moral high ground and risk the potential repercussions, or exclude the Sussexes, knowing full well that it will lead to a backlash. Given the deep rift between the Sussexes and the royal family, Pearl does not expect Harry and Meghan to accept an invitation to such a family gathering. Discomfort on both sides is obvious.
It's unfortunate to see family gatherings become potential minefields. Pearl points out that all routes into Sussex have been effectively closed, bridges have been set on fire, and there appears to be no way back other than to take part in a charity event that Prince Harry has organized himself. It is unlikely to happen in his country. Unless it is a formal state event, the king's son will be recognized for his abilities.
What's really heartbreaking about this situation is the idea of betrayal that Earl talks about, the emotional betrayal on a personal level. In a royal context characterized by unique traditions and expectations, loyalty and honor are paramount. When loyalty is perceived to have been violated, it is considered a serious insult and the consequences are far-reaching. Harry's relationship with his father and brother has been seriously damaged, seemingly beyond repair. In response to this family rift, Prince Harry is looking to Princess Diana's family, the Spencer family, to act as mediators. The Spencer family, who are well-versed in the inner workings of the royal palace but are somewhat on the fringes, serve as a bridge for Harry, who feels like an outsider within the royal community and is drawn to his mother's blood ties.
What we ultimately witness is a family torn apart by ambition, selfishness, and the relentless pursuit of the spotlight. King Charles' birthday celebrations, an event meant to symbolize unity and solidarity, are now a stark reminder of the deep divisions that still exist within the royal family. The Sussexes' decision to decline the invitation may have been their prerogative, but it speaks volumes about the current state of the royal family. In a surprising discovery for Netflix fans, a folder titled "Lilibet Met Lilibet" was discovered in a collection of upcoming documents. This folder appears to be closely associated with the British Royal Family. "Lilibet" is a reference to Queen Elizabeth II's second childhood nickname, but the other "Lilibet" definitely refers to Meghan Markle. Rumor has it that the Duchess of Sussex had hardened her resolve to arrange a meeting between her daughter and the Queen before her death.
Meghan reportedly wanted to take a photo or video of the momentous encounter before Queen Elizabeth took her last breath. However, it seems that his wish was not granted. The Queen voiced her concerns about how the professional photos would be used after the meeting, including the possibility that they would be leaked to US television networks. As a result, the Sussexes were not allowed to take iPhone photos for personal use.
The Sussexes were also previously prohibited from bringing in Netflix cameras to make a documentary over the anniversary weekend, under the terms of the Sandringham Agreement they signed when they stepped down from their roles as senior royals.
In particular, there has been some controversy surrounding Omid Scobie's new book, Endgame. The first chapter of the book deals with the death of the late Queen Elizabeth, and has the rather ominous title "The Last Days of Elizabeth II."
