In their docuseries, Harry & Meghan, the Sussex royals, have levied some serious accusations on the institution and the senior royal members. The couple blamed Prince William for being jealous of their success, while they also called out King Charles III for lying. Despite the image-harming allegations, the Palace is continuing with its policy of never complaining and never explaining.

The institution and the senior members have decided against reacting to the docuseries to save their dignity. However, the extended family members are showing their solidarity with the crown by publicly shaming the Netflix show. Recently, Lady Sophie Winkleman became the first royal member to shade Prince Harry and Meghan Markle for their docuseries.

Wife of King Charles III’s second cousin, Lord Frederick Windsor, Winkleman hailed the senior members of the firm for their hard work and dedication. She lauded the likes of King Charles, Queen Consort Camilla, Prince William, Kate Middleton, and other senior members for working relentlessly despite the scrutiny of the media. Lady Sophie Winkleman also did not have good things to say about the show Harry & Meghan.

“I cherish my growing closeness to the senior members of the royal family who are so uncomplaining and brave in the face of brutal media attention, lies, undermining and fictional TV programs,” the royal member mentioned in her column for Spectator.

Meanwhile, this is not the first time that Winkleman has defended her in-laws against the criticism caused by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Following the Sussexes’ exit from the firm as senior royal members two years ago, the former actress had taken an indirect jibe at the couple. She was all praises for the late Queen Elizabeth II, King Charles, and Prince William while describing her experience with the royal family.

In the 2020 interview, the Chronicles of Narnia actress claimed that the royal family welcomed her with open arms. She further stressed how the late monarch, then Prince of Wales and Prince William, were extremely wonderful to her.
