Meghan’s Power Play Over Palace: A PR Disaster for Harry’s Wife

Meghan Markle’s potential presence at an upcoming event in London is causing quite a stir and raising concerns within the palace.

As Prince Harry prepares to return to the UK, there are speculations that Meghan might join him, which could spell trouble for the royal family.

Diana, Princess of Wales, had her fair share of tumultuous birthdays throughout her life.

From her 18th birthday, when she was living in London and struggling with odd jobs, to her 21st birthday marred by a troubled marriage and personal battles, Diana’s milestones were often overshadowed by drama.

Even after her passing, her 50th birthday was marked by controversy when Newsweek featured a photoshopped image of her and Kate Middleton, which did not sit well with the palace.

Now, as the 60th anniversary of Diana’s birth approaches on July 1st, tensions are running high.

The planned event to unveil a commemorative statue of the late princess at Kensington Palace could be overshadowed by the drama surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Hypocrisy.

The brothers commissioned the statue in 2017, a time when the royal family was not synonymous with public disputes and negativity.

The sculptor, Ian Rank-Broadley, known for his portrait of the Queen on British coins, has created a fitting tribute to Diana.

However, the relationship between the two brothers has deteriorated over the years, and they are set to give separate speeches at the event.

The anticipation for this reunion is already building, as the press eagerly awaits the chance to witness the brothers standing side by side after months of public disagreements.

But all eyes will be on Meghan, as rumors circulate about her potential attendance.

While recent reports deny her presence, there is precedence for her showing support for her loved ones, even shortly after giving birth.

After welcoming her son Archie in 2019, Meghan briefly emerged from her maternity leave to attend important royal events.

If she were to join Harry in London, it would undoubtedly dominate the news cycle and distract from the palace’s attempts to refocus attention on their charitable work.

Meghan’s presence at the event could also serve as a strategic move.

It may pave the way for a reunion of the “Fab Four” – Harry, Meghan, William, and Kate – and be seen as a healing journey, signaling a tentative reconciliation between the Sussexes and the royal family.

This would be a significant step in quashing the narrative of a rift that the couple themselves fueled during their Oprah Winfrey interview.

However, there are risks involved.

After the damaging claims made by the Sussexes this year, they could face a chilly reception from the British public and the palace.

Polls have shown a decline in their popularity, and Meghan’s debut children’s book, while successful in the US, has not fared well in the UK.

Moreover, Meghan’s return to London could be perceived as a PR stunt, something the couple would want to avoid.

Ultimately, the decision to attend the event carries both potential benefits and risks for Meghan and Harry.

It could solidify Meghan’s association with Diana’s legacy and help shape her public image as a worthy successor.

On the other hand, it could further damage their reputation and exacerbate the divide between them and the royal family.

In the end, what unites Diana, William, and Harry is their shared commitment to making a difference and leaving a lasting impact on the royal family.

While opinions on the matter may vary, it is clear that their actions have shaped the monarchy for better or worse.
