'Ice Them Out': Royals Turn Cold Shoulder on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Securing the Monarchy's Future Without the Drama

The British Crown is keeping calm and carrying on after reportedly "icing out" Prince Harry and Meghan Markle "from every aspect of their lives."

Royal commentator Nathan Kay wrote in Daily Express, "The royal family's decision to adopt an 'ice them out' approach to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has proven not only to be effective but essential for the preservation of the monarchy's integrity."

When King Charles III acceded to the throne on September 8, 2022, the new monarch wished the Sussex family "well" the following day when he addressed the nation as they "continued to build their lives overseas."

For many, the new King's simple, yet "permanent" sentence about Harry and Meghan was "the final nail in the coffin" of Team Sussex when it came to palace responses or "think-tanking." Charles III's monarchy would vastly differ from Queen Elizabeth II's, who took a more sympathetic "yet cautious" approach to trying to "balance out" the negative aspects of the Oprah interview and more.

Kay added, "The royal family carried on, showing unity in their carefully curated public image. King Charles, in his first Christmas address, made no direct reference to his youngest son, instead emphasizing service and duty, leaving behind the constant reminder of royal rifts. It was a subtle, yet powerful message. Over the past year, the royal family has fully embraced the 'ice them out' strategy."

Meanwhile, the sun-glitz vibe of California and Hollywood is turning cloudy for Harry as he begins to "regret" his move to America with Meghan in 2020.

"During his first six months in the States, Harry found everything new and exciting, but the glamour is definitely wearing off," royal author Tom Quinn told an outlet.

"However big your garden and Harry and Meghan's garden at Montecito is enormous, there's only so much you can do when you have no practical skills and you have always paid people to cook, clean, and garden for you," he added.

This follows reports that the pair's four-year-plus attempt to reign supreme in Hollywood has reportedly failed. In her "neverending" bid to become a Hollywood A-lister, the Duchess of Sussex may have to settle for "D-list" notoriety.

The royal rebels thought, "'We'll be at the center of this sort of royal court, and everyone will come to see us,'" royal expert Richard Eden dished. "But it never seems to be working out like that."

This insight about the Sussex Hollywood freeze-out picking up steam again comes after the royal rebels' attempt to transition into influencers and "health and wellness gurus" with Meghan's American Riviera Orchard. Moving from the structured world of British royalty to the competitive and often unpredictable entertainment industry presented hurdles to the pair, even with Meghan's past acting experience.

With both the British Crown and now Tinseltown cranking up the freeze, one Hollywood insider feels that Team Sussex "could turn their attention to Washington, D.C., next"
