Prince William & Kate Middleton Are ‘Deeply Upset’ About the Timing of the Sussexes’ Brand Relaunch

It’s been a roller coaster ride for the royal family over the last few years with the family feud being at the forefront of ythe news. However, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have found solid ground in 2024 after a very rocky road in 2023.

Prince William and Kate Middleton probably wish they were on a similar path, but the Princess of Wales’ health crisis has been a major setback for them.

With the Sussexes thriving, it’s understandable that there is major “pressure” on Prince William to deliver with his pet projects like the Earthshot Prize. Tom Bower, author of Revenge: Meghan, Harry, and the War Between the Windsors, told Woman magazine, via The Sun, that Harry and Meghan’s success is “rubbing salt in the wound” for the Waleses. “I can imagine that Kate and William are deeply upset by having the Sussexes’ brand operation rubbed in their face while they’re going through this tragedy,” claimed the royal expert, who is always critical of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Bower thinks the timing of Harry and Meghan’s rebrand is inappropriate given the health issues of both Kate and King Charles III. “While they’re establishing this so-called brand Sussex, the family here is going through torment,” he added. “After Charles’ diagnosis, Harry came over for half an hour and that’s it, he’s done nothing else.” The author may want to remind himself that Harry tried to see his father during his recent U.K. visit, even inviting him to the 10th-anniversary celebration of the Invictus Games, but Charles declined.

After Harry and Meghan’s successful tour in Nigeria, the Mirror is reporting that the West African country of Ghana is eager to have the couple visit. “There is already a lot of talk and excitement in Ghana, everyone is so keen for Harry and Meghan to come and experience the great culture and warmth,” a source gushed. “Several top names have already visited Ghana in recent years from Ed Sheeran, Naomi Campbell, and One Direction’s Liam Payne. Idris Elba, who DJ’d at Harry and Meghan’s wedding is a regular too, he is part-Ghanaian and loves spending time ‘back home.’” The Sussexes did their best to keep the Nigerian visit informal so it wouldn’t look like a royal tour, and the palace is going to have to accept that Harry and Meghan have global appeal.
