Has Meghan Markle made Prince Harry ‘a spare part’ after Invictus controversy? | Palace Confidential

[@kathrynschierloh7358]

I don’t think Meghan is there to support Harry at theInvictus games. She is there to take over. Look at the change in his face from before she arrived and then after. I do not understand why he allows her to butt in to his projects, when she never supports his (she didn’t go with them on the book tour, she didn’t’t go with him to the Coronation as a support, etc.).

[@lindamacgregor8039]

It was a great 'rugby' podcast - Princess Anne smiled in a way that I've never seen before and I've followed the royals all of my 73+ years. She clearly has a great relationship with her son in law. I agree fully with Rebecca, who mentioned that we've seen a side of her that isn't often shown.

Even separated in business, Meghan will continue to lose popularity. Her crassness and lack of awareness has certainly shown that her sister was right in naming her princess pushy. She’s just another Hollywood wannabe.

Friends in Düsseldorf say they are being recorded by Netflix. They also said that 1st speech was at the hotel conference center by the airport and NO One was listening. You can hear it in the videos I’ve seen also. Friends said she kept talking because they were recording her and their was a photographer with her the whole time taking pictures. She refuses to participate, such as the big wave, until she knows the cameras are all in place and then she smiles and participates. They said it looks like watching a tv show or movie set. Rumor is that Netflix told her she had to show up and show unity or they would be in violation of their contract and they would have to pay them back immediately for filming costs.

[@Kiki-Kauai]

Princess Catherine is a proud working royal mom who also takes her royal engagements seriously. Can’t ignore how fabulous her hair looked either. William is such a lovely relatable person in that pic. Princess Anne holds a special place for me. For the Ex-royals, Megan doesn’t want to share the limelight, hence her late Invictus arrival. Harry being a global philanthropist is laughable as self promotion is their game. Invictus games continuing the relationship with Harry & his wife seems destructive to the grand purpose. Megan’s off the cuff prepared speech was in very poor taste. As per usual.

[@geraldinecowden2533]

No, she's not. Have you been reading how lazy she is and how every event she goes to is a PR stunt? They have only worked 11 days this year and are collecting taxpayer's money. You don't say anything about that. You can ignore how she looks because she only did that because Meghan is outshining her in everything. William is not relatable and that was all an act. Did you see the look Princess Anne and William gave Kate? They didn't know what she was talking about. Just admit, you hate Harry because he married a woman of color and you hate Meghan because she is a woman of color. I have mentioned so many times, that stop putting these white people on a pedestal. They are human and not a God. You also don't have a kind bone in your body. Instead of spending time on these sites complaining about what Harry and Meghan are doing, go out and do something for others. Be kind to others, and just maybe, your life will turn out better. So much bitterness about people you don't know wears on your mental health and from your comments, you do need help. The world loves Harry and Meghan as you can see from the Invictus games. Most heads of state did a video thanking Harry for the Invictus Games. Only Britain didn't say anything for their veterans. Shame, Shame, Shame. and you dare to talk about the do-nothing, say-nothing royal family. I guess you have seen mean girls, and that is exactly why Kate is a mean girl and jealous of Meghan's talent because the only talent she has is running after William.

[@patriotmama]

If you look back on the history of the Invictis Games and it's origin, you will find that Harry along with Prince William and Kate came together and their foundation started the organization along with a couple of other high profile money men. It was not all Harry's doing. Catherine and William have donated a lot of money to the Invictis Games. In the beginning, Prince William was present at a lot of the fundraisers as well as the games along side his brother. It's only when Meghan came along and made Invictis about her and her husband instead of the plight of the people who actually gave all in combat that William stepped back from it. He, unlike his brother does not want the Invictis Games cheapened by "celebrity". William and Catherine have always made their patronages about the cause and not themselves. Not so with Harry and Meghan. If you look at Harry at the games when he was by himself, he looked like the Harry of old. Not any staged photo shoots or pap strolls. However, when Meghan showed up, notice how his demeanor changed. Not near as many smiles or good times. He looked like he was in pain most of the time. Truthfully, Harry is much better by himself than he is alongside his wife.

I was mesmerized by the way they were so ordinary and yet also knowledgeable and enthusiastic. I think if people saw more examples of this type of podcast, they would appreciate the hard work that goes into being a member of the Royal Family!

Actually, the truth is Invictus was founded and planned and developed by a third-party, who also was responsible for the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic games. And the team from the royal family that worked with this man whose name I forget was Kathryn, William, and harry. So Katherine and William stepped back after the first year to allow Harry to take it on because he was getting in so much trouble at that point. They generously were giving him something to do.

Meghan wearing all those very very expensive clothes, she was flaunting her wealth and pretending to be a look a like Princess Diana, was an insult to the Veterans. And her speech to the Veterans was demeaning, all she talk about was herself. Harry and Meghan have made an mockery of the Invictus Games.

Give me a break! Stop trying to be politically correct when it comes to Meghan Markle! The only reason she wants to be there is to toot her own horn!

I think Prince William is looking for a way to find balance between the historic tradition, and contemporary efficiency. It’s also a good way to streamline their interactions with the clerical staff and may help curtail courtiers’ gossip. I don’t believe King Charles’s is grooming his adult son. I believe they are family but individuals at the same time.

[@shawroberts5149]

William is an astrological cusper. His birthday falls on the Gemini/Cancer cusp. Gemini is the sign of the progressive thinker, Cancer of the traditionalist. Therefore your observations of his character are doubly astute! ♊ ♋

Charles is certainly mentoring William, which is what was meant, I think.

[@mellie9633]

The Queen RIP taught/schooled William from a young age and did a tremendous job imo.

[@Kat-ds5xd]

I think he is 'learning on the job' so to speak. Grooming conjures up something completely different. Remember, Charles had 50+ years 'in training' so it's the logical progression of succession. William is bright and astute enough to play the long game, I just hope he can push for removal of titles & deal with the LOS debacle as it's infuriating a whole host of people across the globe.

I do not agree that the Invictus Games has always been Harry’s baby. His name was always on it. He had absolutely F all to do with setting that up. There was a business guy who did it. William was also part of it back then. Harry acts like he made the whole thing up. He shows up and he runs his mouth. That’s it!!

Of course Meghan wants to separate their brands because now that she - and her mother - are hanging out with "real" stars, she has what she wanted from him, which was a way to jump to the top of the social ladder without having to work for it.

[@VLind-uk6mb]

These people are not the top of the social ladder. She married into the top of the social ladder. These people are celebrities. She wants to be as famous and gawped at as them, and as immune from criticism as they tend to be unless they really do something crass or illegal. Royals, being to some extent public property, do not have quite that immunity.

yes, Princess Anne is brilliant ! she is knowledgeable yet fun and easy going, she is strong-willed yet gracious, simple yet so royal knowing where she belongs ! she speaks naturally elegantly and delivers relatable anecdotes. Princess Catherine should learn to mellow her voice a little to soften the tone and avoid too much giggling, gaining confidence. Being still shy, she does a good job, though. Princess Anne has the experience of merging in the discussion without forcing ways and then she holds the reins

[@dianeknight4839]

Meghan only turned up in Germany because she was not invited. The woman has no link to the veterans whatsoever. Her speech about family was shameful, here is a woman who has destroyed her family and done her level best to destroy her husbands and her "sorry I am late but I had to settle the little ones", absolute rubbish. I take it none of the four nannies and the ever present Doria were available. Harry was shining until she turned up to tarnish everything. Invictus must distance themselves from the Sussex show, if they are to continue. Rebecca hope your toe is better soon.

[@jeanclaycomb1551]

I watched the Good, the Bad, and the Rugby podcast twice. It was delightful; enjoyed it very much. The best surprise was Princess Anne - she came across as charming, smart, and funny.

[@deedsh6280]

Philanthrophy....seems to beg the reminder of how many donors contributed to Archwell (one huge one and not much else) , how much they actually did give away (not counting a few sandwiches and starbucks cards), how much they worked (an hour a week) and how often they slapped their name onto another charities' project. Showing up and word salad is not exactly philanthropy.. Fans only please. Even Invictus had some pretty sparse crowds when you looked at the big picture vs the staged shots. Philanthropy goes over better when your expenses don't require 5 star treatment and comping expenses that in the day, other celebrities covered as part of their personal 'charitable' contribution.

[@SusanPederson]

I think the story from the anonymous expert about the senior royals not showing up is straight out of Megsy's PR camp.

[@qhluvr77]

I think you could be right. The Royals don’t generally show up to each other’s events. It not a lack of support but more allowing each one of them to be able to shine a spotlight on their own causes. William and Catherine do sometimes come as spousal support to an event, as do the other married Royals, but the one coming as a supporter DOESN’T take over and make it about them

[@patryan1375]

​@@qhluvr77 you are so right. I can find nothing to like nor admire in Megaliar. The PR team who work for her must have poisoned minds, the like of which we see from the Sussexes and their squad which work along the same lines as her. She is eaten up with corrosive envy about William and Catherine. She tried to seduce William in London and was rejected in disgust. We are now seeing the narcissist's revenge but William has risen above it. However, that's not difficult when Megaliar resides in the gutter.

He didn't start the Invictus games on his own the Prince and Princess of Wales were there at the start, Prince William donated his phone hacking settlement to help the Invictus foundation, then let Horrid run it for something for him to have, shame he now does it for money, he needs to allow a veteran to head it, the veterans are suffering which shows like the stands being empty and not shown on a major tv channel

[@ladymary22]

Anyone who thinks Meghan doesn’t have a victim mentality must have missed their Netflix documentary.

[@VLind-uk6mb]

Yes, really -- she started the whole victim thing when she talked to Tom Bradby in South Africa. It fed on itself and just snowballed. And then they used the Oprah interview to cement it -- and how many times in the Netflix series was she seen to be in tears, real or acted? She is canny: she has seen it has worn out its welcome. He should just do what they both should have done in the first place if they had been sincere about getting away from the publicity and press: go off to Sentebale for a year or two and dig into the work. Let her flounder around Hollywood till she gets the message that there is little there for her -- a recurring role in some B-list series, perhaps, or some other small-scale one-off "projects." A-list Hollywood appears to have abandoned her as an item of interest.
