Prince Harry and Meghan Markle may not have issued a public statement on the ongoing ordeal that Palace has to deal with Charles Spencer, but privately they feel a sense of relief.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex faced the ire of not just the royals but also the British public after they shared their story of being with the royals. Many accused them for chasing clout in exchange for a few millions and that they may have exaggerated some things.
However, now that Princess Diana’s brother is opening up about the past, the Palace is once again bracing itself for the bombshells. It puts the royals in a difficult position as the Earl of Spencer is choosing his words retell the story of Diana, one of the most beloved figures around the globe.
“Harry feels completely vindicated,” a source told Rob Shuter. “For years, he was accused of betraying the family by speaking publicly. Now Diana’s own brother is opening the same vault and describing a Windsor world Harry recognises immediately.”
They added that the Sussexes believe Diana’s story shows “what happens when protecting the institution becomes more important than protecting the person” and the book is more than just a retelling of events but also the reason why they left in the first place.
“Harry believes his mother was silenced enough while she was alive,” the source explained. “He has zero interest in making her story more comfortable for the Palace now.”
While Prince William is yet to express his feelings on the matter, Harry believes that his uncle is “defending” their mother and “not attacking the monarchy.
“If the truth makes the Palace uncomfortable, Harry believes that’s the Palace’s problem.”
