Speaking exclusively to Express.co.uk, US-based royal expert Marlene Koenig has described the Duke and Duchess of Sussex of being “trapped” in a vicious cycle with their ongoing potshots towards the Royal Family. In his memoir, Harry fired new claims towards his family, particularly focusing on his brother, the Prince of Wales, and his stepmother, Camilla, the Queen Consort.
Ms Koenig said: “There is the view that they are trapped in this story [and] this cycle of hurling bombs at members of Harry’s family.”
Speaking of the US press, she added: “There has also been a discussion about hypocrisy and the comments that the Royal Family is not racist… but Harry and Meghan let this falsehood fester for nearly 2 years.”
She added that this was “intentional”.
The royal expert added: “Harry complains about the press but when the UK ran with this story, Harry did not immediately issue a statement.”

Ms Koenig concluded there is a “bit of fatigue” with the focus of Harry and Meghan in the media.
She added that this is due to the focus being on “the woe is me and what they did to Meghan and I”.
