Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are eager to promote themselves and have “rubbed” their “brand operation” in Prince William and Catherine’s faces, a royal expert has claimed.
The Duchess of Sussex recently launched her new brand, American Riviera Orchard, while the Duke of Sussex has taken part in a number of interviews and tours as his sister-in-law Catherine and father King Charles focus on their health following their respective cancer diagnosis. But according to a royal expert, the Princess of Wales has been left “deeply upset” as the Sussexes’ “operation” is being “rubbed in their faces” while she remains out of work on medical advice.
Her husband, William, showed he would put his family first, in order to support this wife Catherine and their three children during a challenging time. However, according to Mr Bower, William is facing “pressure” and has still attended several engagements on his own. Meanwhile, Harry and Meghan have been working hard to promote her new business venture, the Invictus Games and their upcoming Netflix projects. The writer claimed William has faced “constant sniping from California” and is likely to be “furious” with his brother Harry.
Royal expert Tom Bower said: “Not only is there the pressure on William, but also the constant sniping from California. I’m sure he’s furious with Harry, he’s behaved appallingly.” According to The Royal Observer, the author also said claims Harry made against the Waleses were “outrageous, rude, unfair” and created “a real struggle” for William and Catherine. About the timing of the launch of Meghan’s American Riviera Orchard and the wider “brand Sussex”, Mr Bower said: “While they’re establishing this so-called brand Sussex, the family here is going through torment. After Charles’ diagnosis, Harry came over for half an hour, and that’s it, he’s done nothing else.”
He added: “I can imagine that Kate and William are deeply upset by having the Sussexes’ brand operation rubbed in their face while they’re going through this tragedy.” It comes as a royal aide insisted Catherine “needs the space and privacy to recover right now” even though she made “a clear commitment” to her public works. The Princess of Wales is “excited” to be at the heart of the launch of a project that could boost the UK economy by £45.5billion a year. On Tuesday, her Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood published a report identifying five areas that businesses of all sizes can help children under five and the adults around them.
Catherine last year brought together the Business Taskforce to contribute to her “vision for the future” in the early years development of children. A senior royal aide told MailOnline: “The Princess of Wales was the driving force behind the business task force. She has been kept up to date since the inception of the task force and she has read the report and been briefed on it.
“This is a clear commitment she has made throughout her life of public service that this will be focus. That will continue when she returns to work. But we have been really clear that she needs the space and the privacy to recover right now. She will return to work when she has had the green light from doctors.”
