Harry & Meghan's Australia Trip, Explained | The Palace is worried about the Sussexes (and I get it)
The palace is reportedly “concerned” about Harry and Meghan's Australia trip. And after looking at how this visit actually unfolded, I think I know why.
From the outraged pre-trip headlines to “palace sources” now complaining that the Sussexes are "having their cake and eating it too,” this trip was covered one way and experienced in another. In this video, I'm breaking down what actually happened, and why the palace's anxiety about the Australia model isn't really about Harry and Meghan’s actions at all. It's about control.
And the 2020 “Sandringham Summit” negotiations already tell you everything you need to know.
Harry and Meghan’s latest trip to Australia may have offered the clearest look yet at what their post-palace working model is actually becoming. There’s a bigger story here about how royal-adjacent influence is evolving in real time.
