Dame Joan Collins cast a shadow of disapproval over Megan's actions, opting to redirect the spotlight to Catherine, the Princess of Wales, at the Inspiration Awards.
Firmly declining to engage in discussion about Megan and Harry, Dame Joan expressed weariness over what she perceives as their hypocritical behavior. Despite this, she eloquently praised Catherine, highlighting her courage in the face of a recent cancer diagnosis.
Dame Joan, honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the event, lauded Catherine's decision to openly address her health struggles, remarking on the rarity of such candidness in public figures.
Reflecting on Catherine's resilience as a mother and a public figure, Dame Joan emphasized the importance of allowing her the space to focus on her recovery journey with her family. This sentiment echoes the public statement issued by Prince Harry and Megan, extending wishes for Catherine's health and privacy during her challenging time. However, Prince William's response to Harry's outreach was described as cold, hinting at the lingering tensions within the royal family.
Royal expert Tom Quinn provided insights into the complexities of the relationships within the monarchy, suggesting that the rift between the brothers persists, with neither side making overtures for reconciliation.
Despite expectations of Harry's potential return to the UK to support Catherine and mend fences with William, such a scenario seems improbable, fueling speculations about Megan's influence in deterring Harry from frequent visits to his homeland. This dynamic adds a layer of intrigue to the already intricate web of royal dynamics, hinting at the behind-the-scenes negotiations and personal motivations shaping the future of the royal family.
