Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Are Trying to ‘Force Their Way Into The Firm’ After Years of Complaining About Royal Life

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left the royal fold in 2020, but after struggling to establish themselves in Hollywood, royal commentators wonder if the couple can survive without the monarchy’s help.

In 2023, the Sussexes were branded as “grifters” and a “flop,” and recently, the pair were criticized for relaunching their Archewell platform, where they used their Sussex titles and royal crest despite complaining about the Windsors.

“Harry has made his position quite clear – he wants to be back in the thick of it with royal engagements to boot. The desperation at trying to force his way back into the firm is laid bare for all to see,” Nathan Kay wrote in an article. “A rebranded Sussex.com website, the use of titles and increasing associations with worthy causes all paint a very familiar picture.”

Meghan and Harry gave up their HRH status when they stepped down as senior-level royals, but they continue to use their proximity to The Crown while living in the U.S.

In 2021, Meghan and Harry sat down with Oprah Winfrey to discuss their move to California, and the pair alluded to the Duchess of Sussex and Prince Archie being treated poorly due to the royals’ racial biases. The infamous tell-all interview brought negative attention to the Windsors and left many Brits disappointed by the confession.

“I believe it’s too late for a Sussex rehabilitation as long as Harry remains married to Meghan,” Kay continued. “Our forgiveness could easily have been extended to our prince – after all, we’ve witnessed his journey from birth and have grown up with him.”
