A secret meeting between royal aides representing the Sussexes and King Charles was photographed by paparazzi and reported on in the Daily Mail, and neither side is thrilled about how it went down.
According to The Telegraph, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are “understood to be frustrated” and deny it was them “behind the leak”—which included pictures, not to mention topics of conversation and timing details. And while Buckingham Palace didn’t comment, sources close to Prince Harry told the outlet that they were “not responsible,” and acknowledged that the leak was “not an ideal way” to start peace talks.
The Telegraph also notes that the leak has “jeopardized the fragile peace operation” and created even more “suspicion and distrust on both sides.”
Quick reminder: His Majesty’s communications secretary and Prince Harry’s chief communications officer and head of PR met for a secret meeting last week. And again, not only was it photographed, but the Daily Mail spoke to a source who had a lot to say, including that “There’s a long road ahead, but a channel of communication is now open for the first time in years. There was no formal agenda, just casual drinks. There were things both sides wanted to talk about.”
Oh, and they noted that the meeting is just a “first step towards reconciliation between Harry and his father, but at least it is a step in the right direction. Everyone just wants to move on and move forward now. It was finally the right time for the two sides to talk.”
