The latest bombshell came when it was announced that Prince Edward, the often-overlooked son of the late Queen, would be leading the Royal Family's Anzac Day celebrations. Not exactly front-page news, right? Well, here's where things get interesting.
Lady Colin Campbell, our trusted source of royal gossip, spilled some serious tea about how Sophie is orchestrating Edward's rise to prominence to solidify his position as the true heir to the throne. According to Lady C, Sophie has been pulling the strings behind the scenes, positioning herself and Edward to replace Harry as the golden children of the monarchy once Charles and William take the throne.
It's being portrayed as the drama-free, scandal-averse alternative to supporting Harry's rebellious branch of the royal family. It's not entirely clear how long Sophie has been plotting this, but Lady C suggests she's been playing the long game since her early days as the Duchess of Wessex. From the beginning, she saw the chaos that would inevitably come with Harry and Meghan and set out to push her in-laws out of the picture to make way for the Edinburghs' ascent.
The first clue came when King Charles bestowed upon Edward the prestigious Order of the Thistle honor and announced he would be giving him his father's old title of Duke of Edinburgh. Combine that with Edward's increased public appearances and praise for his laid-back personality, and it all points to a carefully orchestrated PR campaign to promote the Edinburghs as the royal family's new favorite figureheads in waiting.
Meanwhile, the royal family's cold war against Harry and Meghan only seems to be escalating, with transparent charity disputes, the Mike Tindall Invictus Games debacle, and other moves aimed at erasing the couple's influence and platform as much as possible.
When you connect all the dots, it's clear the royal family isn't just trying to exclude the troublesome Sussexes – they're trying to rewrite the entire family legacy, surgically removing Harry from the equation as if he never existed.
