They will drop in on a couple of charities in September and allegedly have no intention of visiting his family. Now comes word, according to one source, that their tour is a “calculated provocation.”
Royal Family News – The Markles Are Provocateurs
According to some, Harry and Meghan, “are apparently positioning themselves as quasi-royals by undertaking charitable engagements in the style of the institution.”
The Daily Beast reports that, “Behind palace walls, the mood is one of weary resignation. While any irritation is being carefully tempered by an unwillingness to pour fuel on the fire.”
A former Buckingham Palace staffer told the outlet, “The chutzpah of those two is unreal. Their proposal for being hybrid working royals was comprehensively rejected [at the Sandringham Summit], but it looks like they are just going ahead and doing it anyway.”

The Queen Is Not Amused
Royal watcher Duncan Larcombe claims that the visit and the Hollywood hobos, “will be all over the media. It’s a calculated provocation on their part.”
“To the casual observer, especially overseas and even more especially in America, this will look like Harry and Meghan are back doing royal jobs, especially given that one of the gigs Harry is doing is the WellChild awards for sick children, which he always used to do when he actually was a working royal. It will be incredibly high-profile. They will be all over the media, and you won’t be able to put a cigarette paper between what Harry and Meghan are doing and what Will and Kate are doing. It’s a calculated provocation on their part. They are seriously pushing their luck and risking the wrath of the queen.”

The Daily Beast revealed earlier this week that there is no hurry for the queen to meet the thirsty runaways during their visit. A source stated of the Queen’s calendar, “There is formal work to be undertaken that week and some things cannot be moved.”
One of her most important dates will be meeting with the UK’s new prime minister, a task that probably takes precedence over the Markles filming their reported Netflix reality show.
Interestingly enough, this is the pair who boasted after flinging down their tiaras in 2020, “We can all live a life of service. Service is universal.”
