Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are sabotaging their reconciliation with King Charles, according to veteran royal commentator Amanda Platell. Journalist Ms Platell said the Duke of Sussex risked inducing public boredom with his “permanently petulant” behaviour.
She additionally branded Meghan the architect of a “narcissistic playbook” which casts the couple as victims while undermining the monarchy. Writing in the Daily Mail, Ms Platell, who knew Princess Diana personally, claimed Harry’s behaviour echoed that of his mother’s but that he lacked her charm. Her remarks follow leaked details from Harry’s recent UK visit, further straining royal relations. As criticism intensifies, Ms Platell warns that the Sussexes’ public support is rapidly dwindling.

Meghan Markle set to return to acting in ‘humiliating climbdown that’s doomed to fail’
Meghan Markle could be eyeing a return to Hollywood acting after her latest business ventures proved fruitless.
The Duchess of Sussex launched a number of ventures this year, including a new lifestyle brand, As Ever, a new Netflix show, With Love, Meghan, and a new podcast series, Confessions of a Female Founder.
But her projects were not met with the level of success the Duchess would have hoped for and were mostly savaged by critics, with sources now urging her to “go back to her roots”.

In a preview of the upcoming episode of the Apple TV+ series, titled Living The Royal Life In The UK, William told Levy: “I do actually, yeah, I do miss my grandmother, and my grandfather. Yeah, it’s been quite a bit of change, so you do sort of, you think about them not being here any more and particularly being in Windsor, for me Windsor is her.
“So, she loved it here; she spent most of her time here.”

Prince Harry brutally skewered after leaking outburst: ‘Too toxic’
Prince Harry has been blasted for being “too dangerous” and “too toxic” to be in “any close proximity to the Royal Family”.
The scathing attack comes after the Duke’s latest outburst on “men in grey suits” inside the royal court, who are allegedly trying to sabotage his reconciliation efforts with King Charles.
But the Duke’s latest outburst left a royal commentator unimpressed, accusing him of “eternally playing the victim”.

Meghan Markle blasted by fans after cryptic As Ever message
Meghan Markle has confused her fans after sharing an unusual message on her brand’s social media.
The Duchess of Sussex took to As Ever’s Instagram page on Tuesday to post a new photo of what appeared to be her garden in Montecito, California.
The photo featured the message: “Let me tell you ’bout the birds and the bees and the flowers and the trees and the moon above.”
The text appeared to be the Duchess’s own handwriting, as she usually does with her As Ever posts and products, featuring calligraphy flourishes – swirls and curls around the letters.
In the caption, she used the rest of the lyrics from Jewel Akens’s 1965 song, The Birds And The Bees, writing: “…and a little thing called love.”
