C'mon, Let's Chat About Harry: Senior Royals Baldly Claim Prince Harry's Been a Bitch for Years, Right?
Meghan Markle Shows Resilience, Sharing Intimate Family Image in Support of Prince Harry Following Security Appeal Setback
Buckle up, folks, because we're diving deep into the juicy gossip surrounding Prince Harry and the royal family. It's time to unpack the recent drama between the Duke of Sussex and his fam for your entertainment pleasure.
Prince Harry, the lovable prince who won our hearts during the royal wedding and kept us hooked through his Netflix docuseries, has been embroiled in a contentious security issue these days. You may have heard the messy details popping up in your social media feeds.
One day after Prince Harry lost his appeal to reinstate his U.K. security[*A1], his wife, Meghan Markle, showed her support on Instagram by sharing a family photo. In the heartwarming snap, Harry and their little ones, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3, were having a fun outing at their Montecito home[*A2].
But, Harry's appeals and family drama haven't been limited to the U.K. courts. Oh no, he's been waging a war of words against the royal family[*A3*], most recently, in his emotional BBC interview where he expressed his desire for reconciliation[A4].
Let's rewind a bit, shall we? After stepping back from royal duties in 2020, Prince Harry lost his government-funded security[*A1*]. Since then, he's been fighting to get it back, arguing that his life is in danger on UK soil[A3]. He claims the Royal and VIP Executive Committee (Ravec) has been giving him the cold shoulder[**A1].
In a rare appearance at a court hearing last month[*A5*], Harry's lawyer argued that the committee had singled him out for inferior treatment[A5]. To make matters more dramatic, he declared that Harry felt his family wasn't receiving protecting by the institution[**A5].
But Harry aren't making friends with the royals, apparently. He's claimed that King Charles III, his own father, won't speak to him because of this security stuff[*A4*]. In true Harry fashion, he's embraced the role of a rebellious prince who won't back down[A1]. If that doesn't scream "he's a bad boy sticking it to the man," I don't know what does.
So, folks, we've got intrigue, drama, and a prince who's not afraid to speak his mind. Are you team Harry or team Royal Family? Let's dish about this messy situation!
