As much as the royal family basked in the spotlight, it often found itself overshadowed by the ever-dynamic presence of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Every step and gesture made by this royal duo became a sensational headline, and it was no surprise that their departure from the monarchy was shrouded in rumors and speculations.

A recent report alleged a potentially lucrative motivation, involving cash for leaks, lurking behind the exit saga. This threatens to plunge the already strained relations within the royal family to new depths.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle- The ever-widening royal family rift

A recent bombshell exposé sent shockwaves through the UK Royal Family, exposing the deep-seated reasons behind the rift between King Charles and the royal couple. Byline Times laid bare an alleged “cash for leaks” scheme that may have ignited tensions. King Charles was reportedly deeply troubled by the way the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were overshadowing the family in the media. The report pointed to two choices before Prince Charles: either curtail the Sussexes’ presence in the UK or keep them at arm’s length to safeguard the family’s image.

Allegedly, a confidant of a crucial aide to Prince William pocketed £4,000 for stories concerning the Sussexes. A report shed light on the financial connection to the infamous ‘Megxit’. Further, the expose also unveiled the existence of anonymous emails brimming with insider insights. As the London Metropolitan Police delved into the leak allegations, Prince Harry’s formal legal maneuvers against the tabloids plunged the royal family into deeper disarray.

Prince Charles might have made a request to the royal brothers. Instead, he ended it with a rift with Prince Harry and Markle. He also felt the glare of the spotlight intensifying around Prince William and Kate Middleton, creating a bit of a royal ringlet.

Prince Charles and the spotlight rift with the royals

A report in The Daily Beast hinted at a simmering competition between King Charles and his proteges, Prince William and Kate Middleton. Despite Prince Charles’s recent ascension to the throne, there were rumblings about Prince and Princess of Wales’ growing influence. The article suggested that Prince William had a better grasp of public sentiment than Prince Charles. To address these concerns, they negotiated to share the public’s attention.

The royal couple took 40 percent of the spotlight, while King Charles retained 60 percent. Interestingly enough, recent public opinion suggested that the British common folk held a favorable view of the Prince of Wales, with a staggering 74 percent inclination towards him. In contrast, Middleton’s popularity seemed to have plummeted slightly. Only 62 percent of British citizens had come to view her in a positive light.
