The royal family’s motto has always been “never complain, never explain.” But after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down and moved to America, they began making accusations and airing out the family’s dirty laundry and some of what they said got a response from senior royals.
Prince William spoke out after he was questioned about the “racist family” claims and the late Queen Elizabeth stated the recollections with the Sussexes may vary in her public statement following the couple’s Oprah Winfrey interview.
The royals also defended themselves when they tried to prove Meghan and Harry wrong through their actions. Like when the Princess of Wales (formerly known as Kate Middleton) decided to combat her sister-in-law’s claims that she wasn’t “a hugger” by hugging several people during her engagements and walkabouts.
But the family has been able to avoid and ignore the Sussexes’ latest drama for one reason.
The latest drama surrounding the Sussexes has to do with the release of a German documentary titled The Lost Prince. The program was directed by veteran royal reporter Ulrike Grunewald and it examines the duke’s journey within the royal family, his departure, and his current life in California with his wife.
Some of the pair’s Montecito neighbors featured in the documentary didn’t have the nicest things to say about the couple as one local resident put it, “Meghan isn’t an asset to our community.”
Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond told OK! that the Palace isn’t interested in the show or what’s revealed in it saying: “I don’t think anyone at the Palace will be very interested in the German documentary.”
She explained that the reason they’d rather just ignore it is because they have had more important things to concern themselves with.
