The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have launched multiple public attacks on the Royal Family since leaving the monarchy

Meghan Markle knows public attacks on the Royal Family have gone too far, according to a royal commentator.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have launched multiple public attacks on the Royal Family since leaving the monarchy in 2020.


Meghan hit out at the monarchy during her bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021.


Earlier this year, Prince Harry released his autobiography Spare which contained a number of digs regarding the Royal Family.

Meghan Markle did not join Prince Harry on a media tour promoting the book and has not made as many public appearances as in previous years.

Royal commentator Tom Bower stated that Meghan's "quiet" 2023 is due to the Duchess of Sussex contemplating how to move her brand away from the Royal Family.

Bower told OK!: "All she's got is the baggage of the Oprah Winfrey interview and her damnation of the Royal Family in various successive interviews.

"That's why she's been so quiet the whole year.

"She knows they've probably gone too far and she doesn't know how to get out of it now.

"What is fascinating is how it will end, what will the climax be?"

Earlier this month, the Rolling Stone magazine stated that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are in a "difficult position" following a stalemate in their feud with the Royal Family.

The Duchess of Sussex's deal with Spotify was axed last month after her 12-episode series Archetypes left executives underwhelmed and the couple are now scrambling for new projects.

However, Prince Harry's autobiography Spare which unleashed multiple attacks on the monarchy was a best-selling non-fiction novel in the UK and performed well globally.

The Rolling Stone magazine stated that the Sussexes' struggle for success on topics away from royal life is due to the couple entwining their brand with "beef with the Royal Family".

The outlet wrote: "Part of the issue the Sussexes are currently facing is that they have made their brand about their beef with the Royal Family.

"Now, their feud has reached a stalemate it feels like there isn’t much more to say."

They continued: "The Sussexes are in a difficult position: appetite is waning for content about their rift with the royal institution, because digesting it in so many different formats now feels like overkill.

"But there isn’t much enthusiasm for their other projects, like the Archetypes podcast, which aren’t about that."
