URGENT UPDATE: The rift between the Sussexes and the Royal Family has become increasingly apparent as new developments unfold. Just days ago, it was announced that Meghan Markle will make her highly anticipated return to Hollywood, further widening the divide with Prince Harry and the rest of the royal family.
In an unprecedented move, Markle is set to star in the upcoming blockbuster Close Personal Friends, alongside Hollywood stars Lily Collins and Brie Larson. Insiders reveal that she will play herself in the film, marking a significant step back into acting after an eight-year hiatus since joining the Royal Family. This news comes just as Prince Harry undertook a high-profile trip to Canada, coinciding with Prince William’s critical engagements in Brazil, where he represented the King at the COP30 climate change summit.
The timing raises eyebrows as Harry’s trip appears to overshadow William’s keynote speech at the environmental conference, further fueling speculation about the ongoing feud between the Sussexes and the Royals. Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams notes, “Meghan’s focus on her Hollywood comeback indicates that a return to the UK isn’t in their immediate plans.” He emphasizes the growing divergence in opinions between Harry and Meghan regarding their future.
With King Charles’s birthday approaching on November 14, and as he grapples with the fallout from allegations involving his brother Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, the situation is fraught with tension. Fitzwilliams highlights that while Harry longs for a closer relationship with his father, Meghan is primarily focused on her commercial success in the U.S., which may jeopardize any chance of reconciliation.
Just last week, Harry penned an emotional essay titled “The Bond, The Banter, The Bravery: What It Means To Be British,” expressing his pride in serving alongside fellow countrymen. He remarked on the “banter of the mess, the clubhouse, the pub” as essential elements of British identity, stating, “I love it.” Fitzwilliams interprets this as a poignant reminder of how much Harry misses the UK, while Meghan’s ambitions seem to draw her further away.
A source close to Markle revealed she was spotted on set last week, appearing “relaxed and happy,” a stark contrast to the turmoil surrounding her husband’s royal ties. Despite Prince Harry’s team denying any intentional clash in schedules, the speculation surrounding their strained relationships remains rampant.
Fitzwilliams claims, “It was outrageous for Earthshot to be overshadowed by Harry’s visit, and then by Meghan’s film news.” He asserts that the feud between the Sussexes and the Royal Family is alive and well, noting that any hope of reconciliation between Harry and William appears increasingly distant.
As the royal family faces a tumultuous period marked by scandal and personal struggles, the Sussexes continue to navigate their own path in the spotlight. The upcoming projects, including potential Netflix collaborations, suggest that Meghan’s Hollywood ambitions are just the beginning of her post-royal career.
As the situation develops, all eyes will be on how this ongoing saga unfolds, particularly with King Charles facing significant challenges at this stage in his life. The implications of Meghan’s Hollywood return and Harry’s longing for familial ties will undoubtedly continue to resonate in the public eye.
