'Betrayed' and Besieged: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Lash Out Over German Doc's 'One-Sided Takedown' in 'Tough Week'
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle feel 'betrayed' by their Montecito neighbors and ex-colleagues who shared info about them in a new documentary, a source shared.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have embarked on separate professional paths, a move that has garnered both attention and speculation.
Now, the pair are reportedly letting their opinions be known about the criticisms and betrayals that have followed them in recent weeks.
A source told an outlet, "Both Meghan and Harry feel the show is yet another one-sided takedown of them and just want it all to stop. It's like they can't escape their past and are still being judged on things that happened over five years ago but they know it gets people talking and makes money."
They further observed, "Meghan feels hurt by a lot of people, but especially her neighbors, who she feels have betrayed her by telling people this, rather than offering friendship and support. It was hard for her to make this move and have the eyes of the world on them, so she needed some friends, but obviously she was quite guarded because of what she'd been through. Meghan is very wary of getting close to people and trusting them and this documentary has confirmed she was right. There's no denying that Meghan doesn't have a large set of friends, but that's because she can't trust a lot of people."
In other news, royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams shared that this strategic separation allows them to "underline the fact they’re still around." He noted that the couple's individual endeavors have "been successful," suggesting that this approach is a deliberate effort to rejuvenate their public personas.
Harry has been making solo appearances, notably attending the WellChild Awards in London without Meghan. Fitzwilliams remarked that Harry is "doing tremendously well" on his own, indicating a newfound confidence in his solo engagements. These independent ventures are seen as a means to "raise their profile" and demonstrate their individual capabilities.
Meghan, on the other hand, has been focusing on her own projects, including attending events and engaging in initiatives separate from Harry. This professional separation is viewed as a strategic move to "experiment with brand image" and explore new opportunities.
However, this approach is not without its challenges. Fitzwilliams pointed out that the couple has previously relied on "trashing the royal family" to maintain public interest — a tactic that may no longer be sustainable. He suggests that their current strategy is an attempt to "heal their rift" with the British monarchy and establish a more positive public image.
The Sussexes' decision to pursue separate professional paths also apparently reflects a deliberate effort to redefine their roles and responsibilities, according to a Montecito source. "By engaging in individual projects, they aim to showcase their versatility and commitment to various causes," they said. "This move also allows them to address different audiences and expand their influence beyond the confines of their joint brand."
