Prince Harry and Meghan Markle 'draw the longest bow' with Brexit comparison

A number of high-profile voices have urged the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to steer clear from next year’s Coronation of King Charles following the ongoing media circus around their Netflix tell-all.

A host of political figures, senior military officials and royal historians have said the pair “categorically should not be” there when Charles is crowned in May 2023.

In episode one of their six-part Harry & Meghan series, Harry appeared to reference his sister-in-law, the Princess of Wales, while discussing how his relationship with Meghan differs from what the Royal Family have come to expect.

“I think for so many people in the family, especially men, there can be a temptation or an urge to marry someone who would fit the mould as opposed to somebody who you are perhaps are destined to be with,” he said.

Harry also took a hurtful dig at his father, King Charles, by claiming he was “brought up” by friends in Africa, not by his dad, following his mother Princess Diana’s death.

“If they dislike the Royal Family so much why would they attend the Coronation?” former Conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith told The Daily Mail.

Politician David Mellor said, “They shouldn’t come to the Coronation. They categorically shouldn’t come.

“They make money out of selling their family down the river. I think it should be made clear that the British people do not want them there.

“They are a sad pair and there is no hope for them on their current course.”

Historian and author Lady Antonia Fraser said the couple would avert attention away from Charles’ main event if they did show face.

“I hope they don’t come because I want the King and Queen to be the centre of attention,” she said.

“It worries me that if they come the cameras might waste time on them. They should stay holding hands in Hollywood.”

Journalist Tom Bower said the recent flare-up indicates Harry “is on the verge of being finished”.

“I can’t imagine they’ll be welcome. I don’t think Harry will ever be welcome back in England,” he told the NY Post.

“I think he’s just cutting himself off from it all. You know, he is turning himself into an outcast, and I don’t think anyone’s going to be looking to — to see if he’s welcome here.

“And … with her, she’s finished now for sure. And he’s on the verge of being finished.”

Meanwhile, friends of Prince William say he is “unlikely” ever to make up with Prince Harry following his bombshell Netflix docu-series.

The Prince of Wales is said to be angry about the disrespect he feels his brother showed to their grandmother Queen Elizabeth II when she was alive during the Megxit drama, according to The Daily Mail.

Sources believe Harry & Meghan will do little to change the future King’s mind.

William is also said to be distrustful of Harry’s motives since his book Spare will be released next year.

“All relationships are built on trust but for members of the Royal Family, who live their life in the spotlight, doubly so,” a friend told the outlet.

“The prince is a very private man and what Harry is doing is the anathema of everything he believes.

“On that alone, many believe it is unlikely he will ever be able to repair his relationship with them. Too much water has gone under the bridge.”

One source said that Harry and his wife previously served as president and vice president of the Queen’s Commonwealth Trust and had been happy to be associated with it “until they quit their jobs to make money”.

The insider felt the Sussexes’ decision to secretly film 15 hours of video diaries was an “appalling” betrayal of trust.

“Harry has made a virtue of protecting his grandmother through the whole of this saga – repeatedly making the point about how much respect he had for her and ruling her out of his claims about racism,” another source said.

“And yet this is what they were planning the whole time? It’s appalling.”
