Prince Harry’s new tribute to Prince Philip as leaks put royal talks on hold

The bitter feud between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle is far from over, with huge concerns over the leaking of private details.

Crisis talks between Prince Harry and other senior members of the Royal Family were “put on hold” because of leaks “from the Sussex side”, sources claim.

There were no “meaningful conversations” between Harry and his family while he was in London to attend his grandfather Prince Philip’s funeral last week.

Sources said it was still unclear whether there would be constructive discussions in the future due to concerns over a “flurry of articles” in the US within hours of Prince Harry’s return to California, The Sun reports.

Royal aides have become increasingly alarmed at the speed at which details of private family exchanges have been leaked.

People magazine, for instance, published private details of a private phone call between Meghan, one-year-old son Archie and the Queen ahead of Prince Philip’s funeral.

The Sun reported that Meghan has always insisted she had no knowledge of her friends’ decision to speak on her behalf.

Omid Scobie — a close friend of the couple’s who co-wrote Harry and Meghan’s biography, Finding Freedom — also spoke out soon after Harry’s return to the US.

Quoting “sources” close to Harry, Scobie said: “Saturday broke the ice for future conversations but outstanding issues have not been addressed at any great length”.

“The family simply put their issues to one side to focus on what mattered.”

Meantime, Prince Harry’s Earth Day message was seen as a touching tribute to the late Prince Philip, who was a known environmentalist.

“On this Earth Day, I reflect on generations of conservation champions, including my late grandfather, and feel proud and energised to continue doing my part in this legacy,” Harry said in a statement, with a video for non-profit conservation organisation, African Parks.

“This year especially, I join the incredible African Parks team and communities around the world in shared dedication to our environment and collective wellbeing.”

“As we now begin to move towards an era of global recovery and regeneration, it’s critical that we continue to look at the strengthening and protecting of biodiversity, not just as a value we hold — but as a responsibility that is vital to our way of life,” Harry’s statement said.
