Meghan Markle shared a wholesome photo of her kids and her husband in an apparent show of support for Prince Harry following his bombshell interview.

On Instagram, the Duchess of Sussex posted a black-and-white photo of the Duke in a picturesque garden, holding Archie’s hand with Lilibet on his shoulders. 

The peaceful moment was made public not long after Prince Harry sat down with a BBC reporter to talk about the royal family. According to the news outlet, no topic was completely off the table.

Highlights
  • Meghan shared a photo of Harry with their kids, showing silent support after his revealing BBC interview about the Royal Family.
  • Prince Harry opened up about his strained relationship with King Charles, mentioning his father's cancer diagnosis and family tensions.
  • Royal insiders and former press secretaries picked apart Harry’s public interview, urging private reconciliation instead.

    With this prompt, he took aim at his family, addressing his father King Charles cancer diagnosis as well as the legal battle he recently lost, seeing a downgrade in his security system.

    “He won’t speak to me because of this security stuff,” the Duke told the outlet. “I would love reconciliation with my family. There’s no point in continuing to fight anymore.”

    He then mentioned his father, saying, “Life is precious. I don’t know how long my father has.”

    Prince Harry additionally acknowledged how he had lost the legal challenge over his UK taxpayer-funded security and alluded to the possibility of suffering the same fate as the late Princess Diana, who was k–lled in a fatal car crash in Paris in 1997.

    “I don’t want history to repeat itself,” he explained. “Through the [court] process, I have discovered that some people want history to repeat itself,” while also mentioning how important it was to keep Meghan and their two children safe.

    “I’m sure that some people out there, probably most likely the people that wish me harm, consider this a huge win,” he added.

    Prince Harry opened up to the news outlet about his family tensions

    While the 40-year-old did not reveal his intentions of bringing these up in the interview, those who worked closely with the royal family have advised that his transparency probably wasn’t the best route to take.

    Ailsa Anderson, former press secretary of the late Queen, mentioned to Sky News that Buckingham Palace would be “raising their eyes heavenwards.”

    “Prince Harry is saying ‘I don’t know how long my father has’ — that’s going to cause real concern and more speculation in the media and the wider public about what his diagnosis is, which is incredibly unhelpful going forward,” she said.

    “What you don’t want to do is have your private life played out in the media. So if you truly want reconciliation, you’ll do it in private, not in a BBC News interview.”

    As per the Daily Express, Jennie Bond, a former BBC royal correspondent, said that he could only return to the UK with his family if he is invited — and this interview with the news outlet definitely hurts his chances of such a thing happening.

    Those who were previously involved with the royal family said Prince Harry’s decision to broadcast it all was not a good idea

    She stated, “Harry’s father and brother do not trust Harry to keep conversations private. And this loudspeaker of a diatribe against them is not going to make them change their minds.”

    And it isn’t just Prince Harry’s family that faces growing tension with the Duke.

    According to a survey by Find Out Now, the public seems to be more inclined to back King Charles in his row with his youngest son.

    Statistics say 64% of voters supported his father, while only 36% were on Prince Harry’s side.

    It also showed that many people would like to see Harry and Meghan stripped of their HRH titles.

    Harry and Meghan married in 2018 and decided to step down as senior royals in January 2020. As per the BBC, they were dissatisfied with media intrusion and frustrated that Buckingham Palace prevented them from developing their ‘SussexRoyal’ brand.

    Netizens remain unimpressed with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

    I watched the interview and Harry came off as paranoid, deluded and obsessive. He was completely oblivious to the consequences of his own actions and how it has hurt his family, who probably just want space from him at this point. But Harry doesn't care about that - HE wants reconcilliation, so it has to happen. Oh, and of course HE forgave THEM. Textbook DARVO in action.

    That picture says to me that Harry has turned his back on his family and taking the children away with him....... Although it could also be a message saying this is what will happen if you (his dad) doesn't give him what he wants....... Even so, it's a bi***y thing to do....

    The photo of a man’s back—is that the duke? The article referred twice to a duke without identifying him, but if the man in the photo is Harry, is he the duke? And also a prince? I’m all confused. (I apologize, English friends; we’re (or at least I’m) unfamiliar with royal titles. Thanks for straightening me out!)

    A good woman would never be selfish to isolate her husband from his family.
