Everyone from Queen Elizabeth II to Prince William was 'blindsided' by Harry and Meghan's dramatic announcement, and were not aware of its content before it was released, according to ABC News royal contributor.
and then debuted a new website, SussexRoyal.com, that was extremely detailed and thorough, especially given the later reports that it caught the royal family off guard.-- announced they plan to"step back as senior members" of Britain's royal family.
Buckingham Palace has not commented further and Kensington Palace, which represents Harry's brother William and sister-in-law Kate, has not commented at all in response to Harry and Meghan's move. The decision by Harry and Meghan to seemingly go rogue with such a major move is also being heavily analyzed because it appears to confirm rumors of a rift between the Sussexes and the royals, particularly William and Kate., his only sibling and the heir to the throne, in the documentary"Harry and Meghan: An African Journey" that aired in October.
Prince Charles, Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, Queen Elizabeth II, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry, Prince William, and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge watch the RAF flypast on the balcony of Buckingham Palace, July 10, 2018 in London.William tried to"build bridges with his brother" after the documentary aired but a meeting between the two at Harry's Frogmore Cottage home never happened, according to Jobson.
And while it is not unusual for a family to have ups and downs in their relationships, Britain's royal family combines both work and family and now has to sort through these issues publicly while adhering to tradition and standards of a centuries-old monarchy.
