According to Quinn, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's return from their quasi-royal tour has significantly strained their relationships, particularly with Prince William, Kate Middleton, and King Charles. Quinn expressed, "The reality is that Harry and Meghan are openly challenging their relatives in the UK, which will further damage their relationships with William, Kate, and King Charles." He further added that when it was made clear to Meghan and Harry that they couldn't be part-time working royals, it was expected that they would acquiesce quietly.
However, Quinn believes that the Nigeria trip was a deliberate move by Meghan and Harry to assert their independence and demonstrate that they can organize their own royal tours without seeking permission. This act is seen as a direct defiance of the traditional hierarchy within the royal family.
While King Charles and Prince William may currently be limited in their response, Quinn suggests that this defiant behavior will only harden attitudes and make it increasingly unlikely for the wayward couple to be forgiven in the future.
As Meghan Markle continues to assert her independence and challenge the established norms, the repercussions of her actions on the dynamics within the royal family remain to be seen. The ongoing tensions between the Sussexes and their relatives continue to shape the narrative surrounding their relationship and future role within the monarchy.
