A palace statement dropped without Harry’s go-ahead. Meghan Markle found out and, according to him, it crushed her. She cried. The small amount of trust they still shared with the Royals vanished instantly. People saw it in Harry & Meghan on Netflix. Plenty didn’t see it coming. You could feel it was a turning point between him and William. Keep scrolling to know more about the fresh cracks inside the Royal Family.
Palace Statement Ignites New Conflict
Harry says he had no clue this thing was coming out. Kensington Palace put its name on it. No one called, no one even checked. The statement said William never bullied them out of royal life. Harry says that is not the point; the point is they didn’t ask. And Meghan cried as soon as he told her.
It was worse because of the timing. Only hours before, a paper published a piece stating William’s behaviour pushed them to leave the UK and head to America. Harry claims the palace let lies about him and Meghan run wild, but stepped in quickly when it was about William. The couple had already been battered by months of bad press. Harry felt it was clear where the palace’s loyalty lay. It was not with him. That moment proved, at least to him, that the family was split down the middle.
Meghan Markle’s Attempts at Healing Meet Obstacles
This blew the gap between the brothers even wider. They were close once. Losing their mum, Diana, had done that; now William is in England with Catherine. Harry is in California with Meghan and their kids, Archie and Lilibet.
Some say the brothers barely talk; perhaps this is for them. But there’s been a tiny sign of life. Harry’s team, the UK one and the US one, met up with King Charles’s media aide in London. It was over drinks, no big plan, just talking. One person called it a first step after years of nothing. “Long road ahead,” the person said, “but at least they’re talking.”
The hurt, though, is still there. Meghan worries about more drama, more public backlash. They say they want privacy. But the press never looks away. That kind of pressure makes fixing things with the palace feel almost impossible. People around the palace say it will take a long time to repair any of this.
