Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s fresh ‘slap in the face’ for royals

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s fresh ‘slap in the face’ for royals as comeback fails

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have made a few public appearances since King Charles and Kate Middleton’s health scares this month but have failed to comment on their family members’ wellbeing.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s comeback plan has backfired after their recent controversial public outings have come at a hard time for the Royal Family, according to an insider.

The Duke of Sussex attended Hollywood’s Living Legends of Aviation Awards earlier this month where his “weird” behaviour at the event left his team “holding heads in hands.”

During the glitzy ceremony, Harry made an unexpected quip about his father King Charles but made no comment on the monarch’s recent health battle.

The duchess made the wise decision to skip the event as she stayed at home to care for their two children who had taken ill.

However, just days later, the former Suits actress was at her husband’s side as they jetted out to Jamaica to attend the film premiere of the new Bob Marley film, the Mirror reports.

The couple raised eyebrows when they were seen cosying up to the Jamaican Prime Minister who has publicly made it clear that he wants his country to sever ties with the British monarchy.

The Sussexes surprise appearance came as King Charles received treatment for an enlarged prostate while Kate Middleton is also recovering from abdominal surgery.

Harry and Meghan did not publicly send their well wishes to either relative and it’s now been reported that the Royal Family are taking their recent outings as “yet another slap in the face”.

An insider told Heat Magazine: “They were already stinging from the criticism Harry got after the Aviation Awards, so she’d hoped this appearance would calm down the negativity.

“Instead, they’re being accused of insensitivity and even betrayal, which she believes is vindictive and ridiculous, given that they left the royal family ages ago and have every right to associate with whoever they like.

“But the view inside the royal family is that this is yet another example of them being tone-deaf.”

The duke’s explosive memoir Spare caused major tension between him and his already estranged family last year as he made some serious accusations against the monarch and his older brother Prince William.

Despite the success of the book, his attacks on his own blood have not won him any support from royal fans in recent months.

It was reported that the couple were planning on reconciling with the Royal Family this year after hearing the news of Kate and Charles’ poor health but their relationships are far from repaired.
