Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Face Palace Setback as Their Messages Are Completely Ignored
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are said to be facing a fresh Palace setback as the messages and emails sent by the Sussexes or their team are being completely ignored as trust between the two sides remains badly damaged claimed by journalist Charlotte Griffiths.
The striking claim emerged as Harry and Meghan attempt to establish a renewed presence in Britain while navigating their complicated relationship with King Charles and the wider Royal Family.
Speaking with Peter Cardwell on TalkTV, Griffiths discussed reports suggesting the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are keeping detailed records of their communications with the Palace.
She said the suggestion reminded her of claims dating back to the period when Harry and Meghan were still working members of the Royal Family and living in Britain.
“This sounds familiar because when Meghan and Harry were part of the British royal family and living in the UK, there was this persistent rumour that Meghan was keeping a very detailed record of every single interaction,” Griffiths said.
She claimed courtiers had been concerned by the alleged record-keeping at the time, although those historical suggestions were rumours and there is no confirmation that Meghan was compiling information as a threat against Palace staff.
Griffiths suggested that keeping records now would be considerably easier because, according to her account, direct communication between the Sussexes and Palace officials remains limited.
“We’re talking like the odd email exchange, the odd phone call here and there,” she said, describing what she understood to be the current level of contact.
Griffiths then claimed she had spoken to several people within the Palace who were extremely guarded when discussing communications involving Harry and Meghan.
“They said they receive more messages and emails and letters from Harry and Meghan than they respond to,” she claimed.
More significantly, Griffiths added that Palace officials had told her “sometimes they just completely ignore messages and emails from their team,” suggesting communication remains far from straightforward despite Harry and Meghan’s renewed presence in Britain.
According to the journalist, the underlying problem is a lack of trust between the two camps. “The trust has gone” between Buckingham Palace and the Sussexes, she said while explaining why communications may be handled so cautiously.
Griffiths suggested it would therefore “make sense” if Meghan were keeping a catalogue of requests and correspondence, although she did not provide evidence confirming that the Duchess personally maintains such a record.
Neither Buckingham Palace nor representatives for Harry and Meghan have publicly confirmed Griffiths’ account. Nevertheless, the claims underline how difficult rebuilding communication could be: physical proximity may create more opportunities for contact, but restoring trust between the Sussexes and Palace officials appears, based on Griffiths’ account, to remain a much bigger challenge.
