Royal expert claims Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's 'timing' was 'no coincidence'
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex made the big announcement to coincide with Prince William's speech at a memorial service for the late Princess Diana.
by daily mailPrince William and Prince Harry were scheduled to attend the Diana Legacy Awards at the Science Museum in London.
The Prince of Wales reportedly attended the event in person, leaving at around 8:15pm UK time, while Prince Harry was scheduled to appear virtually from Montecito. However, the Duke and Duchess were miles across the Atlantic Ocean and apparently had other commitments, so the speech did not take place until late in the evening.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliam said of Harry and Meghan's actions: “In my opinion, the Sussexes' actions are no coincidence and the timing is often extremely important.”
He continued, “We discovered it unilaterally over the weekend and are now reminded that there may be more shots in their lockers than some of us thought. And that's not a coincidence. No,” he continued.
Mr Fitzwilliam said the couple had been “unpredictable” in the past, but were “predictable” when it came to “unmistakable times when they thought it would be beneficial to get information out”, adding that “they never happen to do anything by chance”. I didn't do it,” he added.
The fact that their announcement came at a time when the Crown Princess of Wales is facing severe criticism for photoshopping her Mother's Day photo also raised eyebrows.
What did Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announce?
The Sussexes raised eyebrows when they made two announcements on the night of Princess Diana's memorial service.
First, the “Suits” actress previously announced the launch of her lifestyle brand through a flashy Instagram video. The brand has been in her vision for quite some time, and she says it will feature “all the things that are close to her heart.”

Following William's speech, the Sussexes released another video congratulating Dr. Joy Buolamwini, this year's recipient of the NAACP and Archewell Foundation's Digital Civil Rights Award.

Princess Diana would have loved to see her brothers sheath their swords.
According to the news outlet, a royal commentator opined about the strained relationship between the brothers.
After Prince William left the event, Prince Harry took part in a video call with the Diana Legacy Award winners, but Ingrid Seward said Princess Diana would not be in a feud as she would be presenting the award in her honor. He said he would have insisted on putting aside the issue.
“And if she had failed, she would have insisted on coming together, even briefly, by speaking via video link to celebrate the winners of the awards organized in her name.” I think so,” Seward added.
The two had previously attended award ceremonies together. Their continued inability to acknowledge each other shows how much their relationship has deteriorated over the years.

Royal author slams Prince William for causing Duchess Kate's downfall
The Princess of Wales' decision to apologize did not sit well with newspaper columnist Richard Eden. daily mailtold Palace Confidential that Duchess Kate had been “thrown under the bus” and that Prince William's behavior was “ungentlemanly” and “disgraceful”.
He recently added that the couple's “highly paid” communications specialist, Lea Thompson, and the person “operating the cameras” should have been responsible.

“Even if Duchess Kate admits to altering the photo when it was given to officials, officials would certainly have encouraged her to share such a happy photo, and they did not. should have been investigated closely,” the royal expert added.
Mr Eden said: “Had Mr Thompson been in a senior position, he would have known that news organizations were becoming increasingly concerned about the digital manipulation of images. British newspapers do not publish news photos that have been altered in this way. “I guess so,” he concluded.
