Several friends of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have harshly criticised the couple’s public revelations about the Royal Family. Since stepping back from their royal duties in 2020 and moving to Montecito, California, where they live with their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, the Sussexes have repeatedly shared explosive details about their royal experiences. These disclosures have come through various TV interviews, Harry’s 2023 memoir, ‘Spare,’ and the Netflix docu-series, ‘Harry and Meghan.’
These public comments have sparked significant backlash, especially from those once close to the Duke of Sussex. As Harry’s 40th birthday approaches, several of his former friends voiced their disapproval in an interview with a news agency. One friend expressed deep disappointment, stating, “I can’t believe he’d stoop so low. It’s outrageously disloyal. Oprah, Netflix, and then the book? Three strikes and you’re out.”
Another former friend speculated on Harry’s current feelings, suggesting, “He’s an angry boy. Things haven’t turned out how he wanted. I think he misses being over here [in Britain] desperately and wants to be admired more.” They added, “Anyone who knows him feels he’d rather be top of the pops here with everyone loving him, as they do with William and Kate.”
Prince Harry is clearly unhappy in Colombia and trapped by his own making.
Meghan Markle is still awkward and coercively controlling of him🤦🏽🫣
If Harry were a Princess and were isolated from friends and family, the media would call it out 🤷🏽#HarryandMeghaninColombia pic.twitter.com/R5se3AfDGY

A different friend remarked, “Harry and Meghan could have left with dignity and decency and not trashed the institution. The conclusion is they’ve made money from trashing his family.”
Prince Harry and Meghan have faced repeated royal snubs due to their tell-all behaviour. Prior to Queen Elizabeth’s funeral, the couple initially received an invitation to a royal event for world leaders on the eve of the funeral. However, their invitation was later revoked. Reports indicate that the Palace clarified the event was exclusively for “working royals,” leading to the withdrawal of their invitations since they no longer met the specified criteria.
