Meanwhile, concerns are building behind Palace gates about just what sort of dirt Harry could be about to dish, according to the Mail, with their go-to firm of eye wateringly expensive lawyers, Harbottle & Lewis are “expected to be on standby” when the memoir is finally released. Picture: Phil Noble – WPA Pool/Getty Images. Harry and Meghan have had a difficult few weeks. “There may be things in the book which might not look so good if they come out so soon after. “Harry has thrown a spanner in the works,” a source has told the Mail. The Daily Mail has reported that Harry wants to “tone down” his autobiography, which has been reportedly finalised, in the wake of the Queen’s death. Meanwhile, the duke and duchess’ big commercial push has hit some serious speed bumps. The longer this ominous regal silence drags on, the less likely it seems that the kids’ elevation will come to pass. The Palace has not uttered a peep over whether their young children, Archie, now three, and Lilibet, one, will be made a prince and princess as they are entitled to under the current Letters Patent. One way of looking at these new images is to consider they come after a rough few weeks for the Sussexes. Picture: Photograph by Pari Dukovic for TIME Prince Harry and Meghan Markle appear on the cover of TIME magazine's 100 most influential people issue. So too in that 2019 Christmas card starring Archie and Meghan in crisp focus, while Harry is a blur. My card-carrying feminist heart hates to point this out (*she writes while wearing her I Heart Betty Frieden underpants) but … why is Meghan so often in the foreground of their photos and Harry perched behind like an adjunct? This was the case with their first official Megxit portrait taken in October 2020 and then repeatedly for their cringe-worthy Time 2021 cover and photo shoot. It is also worth pausing because the new photos also slot into another Sussex pattern. Tuesday’s Misan Harriman images are truly beautiful but the question I am left with is, just what are Harry and Meghan trying to prove?įor two people so willing to criticise The Firm when a microphone is nearby, in the years since their exit, they have remained oddly committed to sticking to the tried and true royal playbook.ĭespite having left the strictures of The Firm behind for a new free life where they can do whatever they fancy, Harry and Meghan’s quasi-official engagements make it look like they are trying to replicate their royal lives, a practice which extends to them grandly putting out photos of themselves as though they were heads of state and not two podcasters with the same official status as the members of Little Mix. (Unfortunately they shot themselves in the foot with this premature wannabe coup de grace, with the move leaving the royal family “Infuriated,” according to the Times’ Valentine Low.)Īnd now we have today’s Palace-Montecito two-step which just feels like something of a slightly pitiful attempt to drag the spotlight back onto themselves. So what came next for the duke and duchess?ĭays later the couple landed back in the UK and within two days they lit the fuse on Megxit, announcing to the world they were fed up with the status quo and had decided they wanted “to carve out a progressive new role within this institution.” Picture: Ranald Mackechnie / BUCKINGHAM PALACE / AFP. ![]()
