The ongoing feud between Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, and the British royal family continues to captivate the public’s attention. The latest clash between Meghan and King Charles III has left Royal Watchers absolutely riveted.
It all began when Meghan reportedly requested that her children, Archie and Lilibet, be granted the titles of prince and princess. This request was seen by many as a calculated move by Meghan to elevate the status of her offspring within the Royal hierarchy. Sources claim that Meghan believes the titles would provide her children with greater opportunities and open more doors for them in the future, as she plans ahead for their success.
However, when word of Meghan’s request reached the ears of King Charles, the newly crowned monarch’s response was anything but welcoming. In fact, those with intimate knowledge of the situation say the King was absolutely beside himself with laughter at the audacity of Meghan’s demand. “His Majesty thought the whole thing was utterly ridiculous,” said one Palace Insider who spoke on the condition of anonymity. “The idea that Meghan would have the audacity to demand Royal titles for her children after everything that’s happened – well, it was just too much for him.”
Apparently, King Charles saw Meghan’s request as the latest in a long line of entitled, self-serving moves by the former actress. “The Source went on to say that the King was howling with laughter as he dismissed Meghan’s demand, calling it ‘a bloody joke.'” This latest clash is just the tip of the iceberg in the ongoing feud between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family. Ever since Meghan and Prince Harry’s bombshell departure from their senior Royal roles in 2020, tensions have been at an all-time high.
The couple’s televised interview with Oprah Winfrey, in which they leveled a number of shocking accusations against the monarchy, only served to further sour relations. And Meghan’s subsequent tell-all memoir, which is said to contain even more damning revelations, has done little to mend the rift. Now, with King Charles firmly on the throne, it seems Markle is hoping to regain some of the royal status she and Harry willingly gave up. But, based on the Monarch’s scathing reaction, her plan appears to have spectacularly backfired.
Charles has made it abundantly clear that he has no intention of granting Meghan and Harry’s children any Royal titles. “The Insider continued, ‘He sees it as an outrageous request given everything that’s happened.'” The source went on to say that the king views Markle’s demand as nothing more than a cheap publicity stunt designed to further elevate the couple’s profile and maintain their lucrative media deals. “His Majesty sees right through Meghan’s games,” the source stated. “He knows this is all about money and attention for her. The nerve of her to ask for Royal titles after everything – it’s just, just absurd,” the Insider stated.
It’s a sentiment that seems to be shared by many within the palace walls. “The general consensus among Royal Aides and courtiers is that Markle has pushed the Royal Family’s patience to the breaking point. She is an absolute joke as far as most of us are concerned,” one Palace staffer bluntly declared. “The nerve, the audacity of that woman to think she can just waltz in and demand titles for her children – it’s disgusting, frankly.”
Of course, Meghan Markle has not taken the king’s dismissal of her request lying down. Reports indicate that The Duchess is hopping mad and is already planning her next move. Some speculate she may try to leverage the situation for sympathy in the court of public opinion, painting herself once again as a victim of the cold, uncaring monarchy. Others believe she may even take legal action in a last-ditch effort to secure the Royal titles.
But based on the palace’s firm stance and the King’s uncharacteristically stern rebuke, it seems highly unlikely that Markle will emerge victorious from this latest clash. If anything, her demand for princess titles for her children may have irrevocably damaged whatever goodwill she had left with the Royals. As one Royal expert succinctly put it, “Meghan Markle has pushed the royal family too far this time. Her days of getting her way are over. King Charles has drawn a line in the Sand, and I don’t think even she is foolish enough to try and cross it.”
Only time will tell how this particular royal drama will play out, but one thing is certain: The public’s enduring fascination with the ongoing saga of Meghan, Harry, and the House of Windsor shows no signs of abating anytime soon.
