The ongoing saga of disrespect from the former royals in California has finally reached a breaking point.
Princess Anne, known for being the hardest-working member of the monarchy, has had enough of Harry and Meghan’s relentless attacks on the royal family. And when Princess Anne is angry, it’s not something to take lightly. To understand just how far things have gone, let’s rewind to December 2022—just three months after the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. The royal family was still deeply mourning, yet Harry and Meghan chose that moment to release their explosive Netflix documentary.
Rather than subtle criticisms, the series took direct aim at one of the Queen’s most cherished legacies: the Commonwealth. For those who may not fully grasp its importance, the Commonwealth was central to Queen Elizabeth’s vision for a modern, voluntary partnership of nations. From the moment she pledged a lifetime of service in her famous 21st birthday speech in Cape Town, she worked tirelessly to reshape the remnants of the British Empire into an organization based on cooperation and mutual respect. It was one of her greatest diplomatic achievements—something she took immense pride in. Yet, in their documentary, Harry and Meghan provided a platform for commentators who dismissed the Commonwealth as "Empire 2.0." One academic, Professor Kehinde Andrews, even suggested that nothing had changed from Britain’s colonial past. This wasn’t just a passing remark; it was a deliberate move to undermine everything the Queen had built. As one palace insider put it, this was not just an attack on the Commonwealth but a direct affront to the Queen’s life’s work.
The hypocrisy of it all is astounding. At one point, Harry and Meghan held prestigious roles as President and Vice President of the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust. Meghan had previously spoken enthusiastically about the importance of Commonwealth initiatives during her engagement interview. Yet, only a few years later, they completely reversed their stance, labeling the institution a colonial relic.
For a long time, Princess Anne remained silent as her mother’s legacy was repeatedly called into question. But now, that silence has ended. Sources close to her say she is absolutely furious over these continued attacks, seeing the documentary’s portrayal of the Commonwealth as a direct insult to everything Queen Elizabeth stood for. Anne was incredibly close to her mother and shares the same deep sense of duty. Watching this revisionist narrative take hold has only strengthened her resolve to defend her family’s legacy.
It’s important to remember who we’re dealing with here. This is the same Princess Anne who, when confronted by a would-be kidnapper, defiantly responded, "Not bloody likely." She is tough, fiercely loyal, and unwavering in her commitment to the monarchy. Reports even suggest that she had warned Harry against marrying Meghan in the first place—a piece of advice that, in hindsight, many may wish he had taken.
What makes the situation even more painful for the royal family is the distress Harry and Meghan caused Queen Elizabeth in her final years. Reports indicate that their constant accusations and public attacks left the Queen in tears. Imagine being a 95-year-old woman, grieving the loss of your husband of 73 years, only to have your own grandson add to your pain with a barrage of criticisms. It’s difficult to fathom how any grandson could inflict such sorrow upon his grandmother, particularly one who had always shown him love and support.
The timing of their Netflix documentary was particularly cruel. The Queen had only just passed, and before her family could properly grieve, Harry and Meghan were already launching an attack on her legacy—all for a lucrative Netflix deal. Meanwhile, back in the UK, the real working royals—King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, Princess Catherine, and Princess Anne—were carrying out their duties, attending the Commonwealth Day service at Westminster Abbey and honoring the Queen’s work. The contrast between the two sides could not be more glaring.
It’s worth remembering that Harry and Meghan’s final official royal appearance was at the 2020 Commonwealth Day service. Even then, tensions were obvious, with William and Catherine barely acknowledging them. Looking back, it’s clear they already had an idea of what was coming.
Sources suggest that Princess Anne is quietly pushing for a firmer stance against Harry and Meghan. Unlike King Charles, who still harbors hopes of reconciliation, Anne is a realist. She sees the damage they are doing to the monarchy and believes decisive action is long overdue. Can anyone really blame her? Anne has never been one for sentimentality or public relations concerns. Her focus is on protecting the institution she has served her entire life. Having seen firsthand how much heartache Harry and Meghan caused her mother, she refuses to let them do the same to King Charles.
And speaking of King Charles, he is currently battling cancer. At a time when his family should be rallying around him, offering support, and stepping up to take on additional duties, Harry and Meghan are instead continuing their attacks from across the Atlantic. Their behavior is not just disrespectful—it’s disgraceful.
For those who have followed the royal family for years, witnessing Harry’s transformation has been nothing short of heartbreaking. This was once the cheeky, charismatic prince who served in Afghanistan, founded the Invictus Games, and seemed genuinely devoted to his mother’s charitable work. What happened to that man? The Harry we see today appears bitter, resentful, and completely under his wife’s influence. Every time he is seen in public, he looks like a shadow of his former self—isolated, unhappy, and entirely disconnected from the world he once cherished.
He has alienated his family, severed ties with lifelong friends, and turned his back on his country—all in pursuit of fame and financial gain. Instead of continuing his mother’s charitable legacy, he now spends his time producing Netflix documentaries that attack his own grandmother’s life’s work and writing tell-all books that betray his family’s trust. It is nothing short of tragic.
