Fueling the Endless Royal Feud: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Latest Interview Signals Pair 'Don’t Want to Mend Rift With' Palace

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Sunday, August 4, interview on CBS Sunday Morning could "undoubtedly damage" the British monarchy by "heating up" the vitriol from their 2021 Oprah spill-all "all over again."

This led royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams to share: "If you want a relationship of any sort, and you give interviews of this sort that bring up memories that will undoubtedly damage the institution, [then] clearly, you won't get it."

In the interview with Jane Pauley, clips of the duo's "notorious" March 7, 2021, chat with the media titan were shown in a "salacious, tabloid fashion, which is rich because they are all supposed to despise tabloid culture," a commenter on X shared.

Fitzwilliams added: "The way they are using a clip from an interview which did so much harm to the royal family. I don't believe that at a time like this, with King Charles and the Princess of Wales seriously ill, the Sussexes should bring in matters which deal with or are linked to their rift with the royal family."

The exchange also explored the ex-working royals' passion for combatting online cyberbullying, which another critic on X stated was "just a leftover gimmick from woke culture to hide their true desire of silencing all who dissent against their grift."

Apart from the mixed reception to their initiative, which will also be backed by a tour of Colombia in the autumn, Fitzwilliams analyzed how the interview is potentially lethal for the Crown.

"What Meghan said in the CBS interview about the issues and her mental health and the fact that she felt suicidal is a very very serious charge to lay against the royal family. If you want a relationship of any sort and you give interviews of this sort that bring up memories that will undoubtedly damage the institution, clearly you won't get it. It doesn't look like either of them want to bridge that gap or mend that rift," he concluded.

This news follows recent reports of what some see as another "dual attack approach" for the "currently weakened monarchy" as Sussex "cheerleader" Omid Scobie gears up to unleash a royal TV program.

His new show, Royal Spin, is an adaptation of his upcoming fiction book of the same name, co-written with young adult novelist Robin Benway. The series will delve into the chaotic world of the Buckingham Palace Press Office, centering on an American political strategist who is brought in to help manage the royal family's public image amid scandals and internal conflicts.

It will explore themes of culture clashes, rigid royal protocols, and the protagonist's personal growth as she navigates the complexities of the British monarchy. Scobie will serve as an executive producer on the program, but a network has not been announced.
