The Royal Family is handling the most recent crisis as well as realistically possible. It has not been an easy ride for the British royals since the release of the controversial Endgame book from author Omid Scobie.
Many observers saw the release as a big win for Meghan Markle and her husband, Prince Harry. They still get to tell their truths without having to do the actual dirty work.
Moreover, they can say that their hands are totally clean and want to reconcile with the Royal Family. However, the Montecito royals are wrong, the latest revelations involving King Charles III and Kate Middleton come with a price tag.
Markle’s career could be in play. Moreover, according to new reports, her handlers are not happy with how the whole thing is taking place.
As they were trying to move Markle and her spouse away from drama and racial controversies, they find themselves right back in. It is not clear when calm will return.
The advisers are now asking The Duchess of Sussex to clearly distance herself from the content of the book. This is something that she has been very reluctant to do.
For The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, the royals created their own mess, and they should find ways to clean it up on their own.
The advisers believe that the current situation is reflecting negatively on the Sussexes. The popularity of the power couple is sinking, and it is time to do something to change the conversation.
A poll from UK Sunday Express finds that Markle is a role model for only 22% of Britons versus 78% for the Princess of Wales.
BBC royal correspondent Michael Cole wants the pair to address the controversy directly. He writes: “Harry must act. Only he can silence the racist storm engulfing the family.”
Cole continues: “Prince Harry should issue a statement making it clear that he does not accuse his relatives of racism. Now is the time for the Prince to clear up this highly damaging mess. Harry should also explain how correspondence between Meghan and the then Prince of Wales – now King – in which she complained about the attitude of other family members towards her, came to be relied on by Scobie to underpin the pernicious allegation of racism.”
An insider confirms this dangerous territory for their careers. The person tells Express: “There are potential deals on the table for Meghan that could just as quickly vanish if this continues. Aside from the race row, even the American public is growing weary of mean-spirited and downright cruel attacks on Princess Kate. Whether or not Meghan and Harry were the sources of these, people will simply assume they were because of their past connections with Mr Scobie.”
The source also says: “Unless they immediately distance themselves from him and denounce his book as either untrue or reported out of context, then they must expect to be a part of the backlash against it. If they aren’t seen to distance themselves from him, a string of deals being negotiated for Meghan as well as their production company Archewell could all come undone at the drop of a hat. They’re in a very difficult situation and now they must figure out how to navigate their way out before any more damage is done. Their very future as anything like a Hollywood power couple absolutely depends on that.”
Markle was seen strolling with a huge smile on her face. It seems that she is still planning on eating her cake regardless of the consequences.
