Sophie made a bold move, firing a warning shot at Megan. It came after Megan shifted blame onto Lady Louise for the loss of the Sussex title following Harry and Megan's departure.
Interestingly, it seems William and Katherine have found newfound camaraderie with Prince Edward and Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, within the royal family circle. Despite the significant age gap between them, the four seem to have formed a tight bond, supporting each other at royal events and sharing moments of joy.
Royal insiders have hinted at a strategic move by Prince William, suggesting to King Charles to strip Harry and Megan of their Sussex titles and bestow it upon Lady Louise, Prince Edward's daughter. If the monarch didn't act, the responsibility would fall to the Prince of Wales upon his ascension to the throne. This has sparked discussions both within the palace and Parliament, with sources suggesting that the king has made his decision clear during a recent meeting at Clarence House.
Even though Harry and Megan have stepped back from their royal duties, their titles remain a point of contention. William is reportedly keen to strip them of these titles as soon as possible, leaving many to speculate on Prince Edward and Duchess Sophie's stance on the matter. In response to inquiries about assuming more responsibilities, Duchess Sophie delivered a sharp retort, implying that they were already deeply involved before Megan and Harry's retreat from royal life.
There are whispers of tension between Sophie and Megan, with reports suggesting a confrontation over Lady Louise's involvement in the Sussex title controversy. Sophie, deeply concerned about her daughter's alleged mistreatment, reportedly took it upon herself to address the matter with Megan directly. This concern stems not only from Sophie's maternal instincts but also from past accusations of Megan bullying royal family members and staff.
With the decision to bestow Lady Louise with the last royal position and effectively banish Harry, the Sussexes find themselves in a challenging position. Unlike their parents and brother, Lady Louise has yet to acquire a new title, but speculation is rife about her assuming more responsibilities in the royal fold. As the royal family gradually modernizes, there's a growing openness, yet the inner workings remain elusive, shrouded in tradition and centuries-old beliefs.
Sarah Le, author of "Unroyal: Three Women Who Shook the Monarchy," ponders the enigmatic thoughts within the royal family, while Leo, a writer at large for The New York Times, suggests their quest for privacy is deeply rooted in their heritage and reverence for history, which permeates the walls of Buckingham Palace. Despite the changing times, the royal family's connection to tradition remains steadfast, shaping their approach to modernization and their guardedness about revealing their true sentiments.
