The close confidant tells the publication initially, there was an assumption that Meghan and Harry’s visit would be a low-key and contained visit, but it wasn’t.

“Within Palace circles, it was felt that the Sussexes’ global pull had cooled and that sustained negative coverage, particularly in the UK, would shape how any overseas visit was received,” the source said and added, “Instead, Australia is telling a different story. The public turnout was surprisingly strong and the reception was warm.”

Continuing their criticism on the monarchy, the California-based royal couple raised eyebrows when Harry declared he never wanted to be a working royal because it ‘killed’ his mother, and that he had felt ‘lost, betrayed, or completely powerless’ during his life.

Also, the Duchess claimed to the fans she was ‘bullied’ online for a decade and was ‘the most trolled person in the entire world’.

For the Prince and Princess of Wales, the insiders said it’s embarrassing to see Harry and Meghan now acting like ‘fake royals’ after everything they’ve been through over the past six years.

Meghan and Harry stepped down as senior royals back in 2020.

Kate and William’s “frustration runs far deeper than headlines”, the insider continues.
