Part of the thinking, reportedly, was that they didn’t want to have to dramatise more recent events. That might have been a mistake because if the hit series had continued up until today, boy, would they be spoiled for a juicy storyline given the recent, nearly ceaseless series of crises, ructions and all round turmoil, that has buffeted Buckingham Palace and the Queen.That level of tumult has shown no signs of slowing down, with Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, releasing a long, at times emotional, statement over the weekend laying out their version of recent events and which on certain points appears to differ from Buckingham Palace’s recent pronouncements.Confused?

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle need round the clock protection.

Per today’s announcement, they have revealed that they “do not plan to start a ‘foundation’, but rather intend to develop a new way to effect change and complement the efforts made by so many excellent foundations globally”, and, “The creation of this non-profit entity will be in addition to their cause driven work that they remain deeply committed to”.WHAT THE DICKENS DOES THIS MEAN?The biggest question here is – why? Why release this statement given the fact that many of these changes – such as their use of their HRHs, their patronages and their desire to become financially independent – have all been clearly established previously?It is hard not to view this move as being combative and that this statement will be read as them challenging, very publicly, the authority of the palace.This seems to be Harry and Meghan putting out their version of events. The fact they felt the need to take this step has the unfortunate consequence of highlighting the chasm – and the literal ocean – that now exists between the Sussex family and the rest of the royal family.One of the most marked things about this statement is, at certain points, the tone with the overall effect being to cast a certain petulant, adolescent quality.

(Royal biographer Penny Junor has said that the statement implied “barely suppressed rage”.) The overall impression here is that the Sussexes are deeply frustrated and are still irascible about how the last six weeks or so have played out.A member of Meghan’s “inner circle” told the Daily Mail earlier this week that “Meghan said she’s done with the drama and has no room in her life for naysayers, and the same goes for Harry”. The notion of a calmer life seems inherently sound and if that is the case, then this is a very strange way of going about that.
