Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's recent move to address speculation about their invitation to King Charles' birthday celebration has stirred controversy, with royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams expressing concerns about the timing. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's actions, just hours before King Charles' historic speech at the State Opening of Parliament, have been labeled as "inappropriate," widening the rift within the royal family.
As King Charles paid tribute to the late Queen during the historic occasion, the Sussexes' decision to make headlines on the same day has raised eyebrows. Fitzwilliams remarked, "The rift in the royal family could not be wider, and bemused courtiers must be wondering what comes next. Let us hope that the reported four-book deal with Random House does not lead to another memoir."
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex refuted claims made by the Sunday Times, which reported that Prince Harry had declined his father's invitation to his upcoming 75th birthday celebrations. The timing of their response, just hours before King Charles' significant moment, has fueled speculation about the ongoing tensions within the family.
The controversy surrounding the birthday invitation adds another layer to the complex dynamics within the royal family, further intensifying public interest in the unfolding narrative of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's relationship with the monarchy.
