Meghan Markle<\/strong>, the Duchess of Sussex, has sparked new tension after her Jordan trip with Prince Harry.<\/strong> A source said<\/a>, \u201cThe Palace is livid.\u201d They added, \u201clooks like a full-scale royal tour without the permission slip.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, another report says the Sussexes visited Amman on February 25 and 26. The outlet said she had \u201cthis trip lined up for a while.\u201d It noted the timing came a week after the ex-Prince Andrew\u2019s arrest, and the source stated, \u201cThe timing couldn\u2019t have worked out better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meghan Markle feels she and Prince Harry \u2018scored a major coup\u2019 with Jordan trip, per source<\/h2>\n

Star Magazine<\/a> reported that the \u201cSuits\u201d alum kept the visit \u201ctightly under wraps\u201d because she wanted \u201cmaximum impact.\u201d The report described a two-day schedule built around humanitarian optics. It is also called the Middle East stop, a \u201cfaux royal tour.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, Star tied the larger context to the ex-Prince Andrew\u2019s<\/a> arrest on February 19. It said the former prince was taken into custody on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The report said it involved allegations that he shared confidential trade documents as an envoy. It also noted, \u201cAndrew has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.\u201d As a result, the monarchy was described as taking a \u201chammering.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, the source said the Jordan trip became a branding moment. They said, \u201cMeghan<\/a>\u2019s feeling very smug.\u201d They added, \u201cShe feels like she and Harry have scored a major coup.\u201d The source also claimed she wants to outshine the royal family while they scramble. The insider also said the trip should have been \u201call about giving back.\u201d Instead, they claimed it was \u201cvery much about power and image.\u201d<\/p>\n

Even so, the report said the duo wants leverage through headlines. The source said, \u201cMeghan wants to position herself and Harry as the modern alternative to the royal family.\u201d They added, \u201cThat\u2019s a huge part of her branding.\u201d The insider claimed Harry hopes it could \u201csoften\u201d the royals. Ultimately, it concluded, in truth, \u201call they are doing is making William even angrier.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
