Meghan and Harry 'need to come out their box and find something new to say' this year

A royal expert has said that Prince Harry and Meghan need to 'come out their box and find something new to say this year.'

Speaking to GB News, Royal Commentator Michael Cole said: "It is a great tragedy that the King never sees his grandchildren Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.


"When the Queen [Elizabeth II] was alive and there were thoughts of Prince Harry leaving Frogmore cottage in Windsor he said to his father 'but don't you want to see your grandchildren.'"

"I'm sure that's a great pain to him because every time you see the King with his family, it's very obvious he has a tactile approach.

"He shows the affection to his family that perhaps as a child he didn't receive himself."

"Their problem this year is to come out of another box to find something new to say. We've heard all the criticism, relentlessly, repetitively, of their own family."

"I think it's worth remembering we just had Christmas, which is a time for families.

"I'm afraid the Sussexes didn't get that memo. And what do we have? We have a situation where Megan is hardly on speaking terms with any member of her family apart from her mother and one niece.

"And Harry is on not on speaking terms with any member of the royal family apart from Prince Andrew's daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie."

Earlier in the interview talking about what the Royal Family have coming up this year, Michael explained that it is likely that King Charles will do a tour of the Commonwealth.

He explained: "It's going to be a busy year for the King and Queen.

"Towards the end of the year, in October, there's the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Samoa in the South Pacific, and the King and Queen will combine that with visits to Australia and New Zealand.

"I think there should be a visit to Canada during this year because these overseas realms need to see their monarch from time to time.

"It'll also be a time to test the popularity of the monarchy in Australia. Recent polls showed that 56% of Australians were in favor of the monarchy."

He added that Queen Camilla had just hosted a "charming little blind girl" who sang in her choir.

He said: "It was wonderful. You can't buy that."
