When King Charles III made the decision to privately reach out to Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, and invite them to the event of the decade — he was slammed for being weak and called an enabler.
In May, King Charles went against the odds and asked his son and daughter-in-law to attend his coronation ceremony in London.
His Majesty extended the olive branch after the publication of Spare, Prince Harry’s first and historical tell-all memoir.
The literary work annihilated the entire Royal Family and exposed their deepest and ugliest secrets — with King Charles’s wife, Queen Camilla, taking some of the biggest hits.
After having the media play a wild guessing game about whether they would go or not — it was revealed that Prince Harry would attend the event solo.
At that time, it was revealed that the former American actress stayed in California for the celebration of her son, Archie‘s fourth birthday.
It was hard to go against “the good, present, and attentive mother” narrative. However, according to Omid Scobie, the author of Finding Freedom and the new book Endgame, there is more to Markle’s decision to snub King Charles’s invitation.
Via The Mirror, the famed author stated that Meghan Markle had a condescending response to The King‘s outreach.
It is claimed that Markle refused to appear at the grandiose event because she did not want to be part of the soap opera.
The media outlet revealed: “It has also been claimed that in May, she did not choose to travel for the Coronation because she refused to “dive back into the soap opera [we would like to add the “old” soap opera…] of the court”.
The royal journalist went on to explain that Markle has made up her mind and has no plans to ever return to England.
He stated: “It has been claimed that Meghan “never wants to set foot again in England” as she “never felt at home.” This revelation makes it clear that Markle will always turn down King Charles’s invitations.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams weighed in on the situation to say: “The timing of this is utterly deplorable. I think the Sussexes will have to think hard about whether or not Scobie is their spokesman or their friend. It will be interesting to see if Harry and Meghan will still want to be associated with Scobie after this.”
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have taken measures to distance themselves from the content of the book, but many believe that the damage has already been done.
