Princess Anne's intervention in the ongoing rift between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has been deemed unnecessary by royal commentators.
Sarah Vine, a former commentator on the dynamics within the Sussexes and the royal family, shared her thoughts exclusively with GB News. She suggested that Princess Anne should travel to Montecito to engage in conversation with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. Since stepping back from their roles as working Royals, Harry, 39, and Meghan, 42, have distanced themselves from several members of the royal family.
Despite once sharing a close bond with Princess Eugenie, Princess Beatrice, and Sarah Ferguson, the Sussexes have made disparaging remarks about Prince William and Princess Kate. The Duke of Sussex even penned a memoir titled "Spare" and starred with Meghan in a self-titled docu-series on Netflix, where they openly criticized their time as working members of the royal household.
Vine believes that Princess Anne, aged 73 and Harry's aunt, could potentially aid in resolving the ongoing feud within the royal family through dialogue with the Sussexes. She expressed, "I firmly believe that Princess Anne holds the key to resolving all the issues plaguing the royal family. Sending her to confront Harry and Meghan seems like the perfect solution, for who wouldn't sit up and take notice upon receiving a call from Princess Anne?"
However, Gareth Russell, an astute observer of royal affairs, expressed a differing opinion during his exclusive discourse with GB News. He opined that Princess Anne's journey to the United States would be deemed superfluous. "I perceive no reason for a member of the royal family to traverse the Atlantic to engage in discourse with Prince Harry. Such an endeavor would create the impression that they are attempting to entice his return, a notion that may not be favorably received by the British populace," Russell further explained.
In a recent interview with American media, the Duke of Sussex professed his affection for his family and vowed to make an earnest endeavor to return to the United Kingdom in the forthcoming months. This declaration was prompted by King Charles's unfortunate cancer diagnosis, which led to Prince Harry's brief 45-minute rendezvous with his father at Clarence House.
Russell continued his analysis, asserting that if reconciliation is to be achieved, it would be more prudent for Prince Harry to spend an extended period of time in the United Kingdom, as he himself has expressed a desire for such an arrangement. Dispatching a senior member of the royal family to Montecito seems unnecessary in this endeavor.
