According to royal commentator Svar Nanan-Sen, Prince Harry will be confronted with a significant rift he has created with the royal family. These comments, made in reference to Meghan Markle’s current rift with the royals, were shared during a segment for GB News.
Nanan-Sen began by outlining possible paths to reconciliation or continued estrangement between the Sussexes and the Royal Family. “In three years, the Sussexes could have sorted out their dispute with the Royal Family and could have made multiple trips to the UK,” she said.
However, he also pointed to a more pessimistic scenario: “There is also the possibility that the situation remains as frosty as it is now between the Sussexes and the royals, and Meghan’s absence from the UK continues.”
Looking ahead, Nanan-Sen highlighted a crucial decision that could lie ahead for Meghan Markle. “If this latter scenario does occur in 2027, then the Duchess of Sussex will have to decide whether cutting ties with the UK is worth supporting Prince Harry at an event that is of great importance to him,” she explained, referring to the Invictus Games.
Nanan-Sen explained what is at stake: “The Invictus Games are an important part of Prince Harry’s life and work. His dedication to the event is well known, and having Meghan by his side to support him could be vital for both his morale and his public image. However, this decision could put Meghan in a difficult position if relations with the Royal Family have not improved.”
She also touched on the wider implications for the Sussexes. “Their presence or absence at key events such as the Invictus Games will be closely scrutinised and could help bridge the divide or deepen it,” Nanan-Sen said. “Public appearances and mutual support in such high-profile settings are more than just gestures – they symbolise unity or discord.”
Furthermore, Nanan-Sen reflected on the impact this continued tension could have on both sides. “For Prince Harry, being caught between his royal duties and his new life in America is a balancing act that requires careful management. For the royal family, the continued estrangement poses a challenge to their public image and internal cohesion.”
Nanan-Sen concluded: “There is still a long way to go before the Invictus Games land in Birmingham, but there is also a huge chasm that will take time to mend between the Sussexes and the Royal Family. The next few years will be crucial to determine whether bridges can be rebuilt or whether the distance will only grow wider.”
These comments highlight the ongoing complexities and challenges within the royal dynamic, as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle navigate their roles and relationships both inside and outside the UK. The future of their relationship with the Royal Family remains uncertain, with potential impacts on their public and private lives.
