In a recent wave of claims surrounding the ongoing tensions between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the British Royal Family, royal biographer Angela Levin has suggested that Meghan Markle harbors “deep regrets” over her behavior and public statements about the monarchy. Speaking on GB News, Levin asserted that the Duchess’s departure from royal duties, along with her comments on the Royal Family during interviews, has left her reflecting on the fallout, particularly regarding accusations of racism.
Levin’s claims are reportedly backed by insider sources who state that Meghan regrets the way her comments during the infamous Oprah Winfrey interview in 2021 were received. In that interview, Meghan and Prince Harry made allegations of racism within the Royal Family, which ignited a firestorm of controversy. According to Levin, Meghan’s primary intention had been to focus on her mental health struggles, but the lasting impression of the interview instead centered on the accusations of racism.
A source told Grazia Magazine that the Duchess feels her comments were “not received in the way she had expected,” leading to backlash and public criticism. Meghan, who hoped to spotlight personal challenges, is said to regret some of the statements made, particularly as they have since backfired, fueling ongoing media criticism.
Levin’s commentary on GB News dives deeper into the potential emotional impact on Queen Elizabeth II, who, according to Levin, found the Sussexes’ actions “very cruel.” Levin noted that the Queen was hurt by the couple’s decision to step back from their roles as senior royals in 2020, compounded by the claims they made after relocating to the U.S.
Levin remarked, “It was very painful for her [the Queen], and it’s much too late for Meghan to have regrets now.” She added that while Meghan’s feelings of remorse may be genuine, the damage has already been done, and many now see the accusations of racism as unfounded.
In addition to the fallout from the royal rift, Meghan is facing challenges in her professional endeavors. Levin revealed that Meghan’s latest lifestyle project, American Riviera Orchard, has encountered a setback. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) recently denied her trademark request on the grounds that businesses “cannot trademark geographical locations.”
According to Levin, this development represents a careless mistake on Meghan’s part, with the timing of the project seeming premature, as proper steps weren’t taken to secure the trademark before launching other elements of the brand.
As speculation continues about the Sussexes’ future, including their relationship with the Royal Family and their commercial ventures, Levin suggests that reconciliation between Prince Harry, Meghan, and the rest of the royals remains elusive. Despite Meghan’s alleged regrets, many believe it is “much too late” for a resolution to the rift that has gripped public attention since their departure from royal life.
While Meghan and Harry have expressed remorse over some aspects of their public statements, especially in relation to the accusations of racism, it remains to be seen how their actions and decisions will impact their public image moving forward. For now, the couple remains in the spotlight as both critics and supporters continue to debate their role in shaping the future of the monarchy.
