Rumors abound that Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are seething with anger towards Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, even taking legal action against them, seeking a staggering $35 million in compensation.
It's widely known that Harry and Meghan's departure from senior royal duties in 2020 sent shockwaves through the monarchy, catching many off guard with their sudden decision to step back and relocate part-time to North America.
The fallout from their departure placed immense strain on the remaining working royals, who found themselves picking up the slack left by Harry and Meghan. Among those feeling the strain were Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie. While not classified as senior working royals like their cousins William and Kate, they nonetheless fulfill official duties when called upon by the Queen. However, in the wake of Harry and Meghan's exit, Beatrice and Eugenie found themselves thrust into more official engagements than ever before, disrupting their personal lives significantly.
Reports suggest that Beatrice even had to postpone her maternity leave following the birth of her child last year due to commitments she had to fulfill on behalf of Harry and Meghan. Feeling overwhelmed and overlooked, Beatrice and Eugenie's camp sought financial compensation from Harry and Meghan to no avail, leading the princesses to take matters into their own hands.
Furious at what they perceive as being disregarded, Beatrice and Eugenie have now enlisted top London lawyers to file a lawsuit against Harry and Meghan, claiming damages totaling $35 million. Their argument centers on the notion that since Harry and Meghan's departure, they've had to sacrifice personal and career opportunities to meet the increased demands of their royal duties.
The news of the lawsuit has reportedly left Harry and Meghan astonished and incensed. They view it as an unjustified money grab and contend that their decision to step back was made in pursuit of privacy, not to burden other royals. As tensions escalate within the royal family, Buckingham Palace finds itself caught in the crossfire, facing pressure to intervene or maintain neutrality in the dispute.
The unfolding legal drama promises to add yet another layer of complexity to the already tumultuous dynamics within the House of Windsor. As we await Buckingham Palace's response, speculation runs rife about the potential implications of this rift between cousins and its ramifications for the monarchy.
