The unusual step Prince Harry and Meghan Markle need to take to regain favor with the Royal Family.

We are currently seeing Prince Harry highlight his charitable work, which has considerable merit. This and his ability to communicate with people, especially the less fortunate, was one of the reasons he once held a unique place in the nation’s heart.

Yet there is a contradictory approach in the way the Sussexes support worthy causes and in their attitude to the Royal Family.

They know they are only significant because they are royal. Harry has chosen exile, which is his choice, especially as he was undoubtedly unhappy with aspects of his royal role.

However, it has long been rumoured that he is emotionally reliant on Meghan Markle and that she dominates in their relationship.

They must surely be the only royal couple in the world to monetise their royal connections, as well as attacking the Firm over a period of years.

However, they never face questions about the validity of their accusations.

As if to remind the world of how bitter he still is, the paperback version of his memoir, Spare, is published in Britain on 24th October when King Charles and Queen Camilla will be attending CHOGM in Samoa. This is the monarch’s first visit abroad since his cancer diagnosis and a trip of the highest importance.

Spare was a best seller in hardback, which is also likely to sell well in paperback. Last January Harry revealed that he had cut 400 pages from it as they were too toxic.

This was clearly a threat to the royal family, indicating that one day they might be published.

The interviews he gave promoting it were as ill-judged as its contents. King Charles evicted the Sussexes from Frogmore Cottage, their home in Britain, after he made personal attacks on Queen Camilla.

It is fortunate he has decided not to give further interviews, especially as his recent appearance on ITV and Meghan’s on CBS were controversial.
