Commentator Kinsey Schofield said Princess Kate should keep her distance from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle during a recent interview with Sky News Australia.
The advice comes amid a long-standing and public rift between the Princess of Wales and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The tension highlights the ongoing struggle to reconcile the working members of the British royal family with those who stepped back from official duties.
Schofield said the Princess of Wales is justified in avoiding the couple. "[Princess] Katherine has every right to keep her distance, Harry and Meghan are entirely self‑serving," Schofield said [1].
The commentator said the Princess of Wales and Prince William must prioritize the well-being of their own family. Schofield said that the couple must "shield their children from the Sussexes’ utterly desperate moves" [1].
According to Schofield, the Princess of Wales is not obligated to participate in public relations opportunities with the Sussexes. "Katherine doesn’t owe anyone a photo op, especially a couple who have spent years ..." Schofield said [1].
Schofield said the Sussexes are acting in a self-serving manner and that Kate should protect her family from their actions [1]. The comments reflect a broader public debate regarding the boundaries, and expectations of royal family members when personal and professional conflicts collide.
“"Harry and Meghan are entirely self‑serving."”
These comments underscore the deep polarization surrounding the British royal family's internal dynamics. By framing the conflict as a matter of protecting children and maintaining boundaries, the narrative shifts from a familial dispute to a strategic necessity for the future monarchy.
