Royal insiders have shared insights into how Meghan Markle and Prince Harry perceive the royal family’s handling of the Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor crisis. According to a report by The Star, Meghan is pleased that the spotlight has begun to shift off her and Prince Harry after Andrew’s fall from grace within the family.
Meghan herself insists that this change in focus brings no joy. She contends that the entire situation disgusts her deeply. “It was always hard for us to understand how the royals could overlook such an issue, like Andrew’s connections with Jeffrey Epstein,” she says, “and instead choose to pin our misfortunes on us.”
This sentiment is shared by Meghan and Harry. They have long felt that the royal family has used them as scapegoats to divert attention from more serious matters involving their uncle Andrew.
The close confidant added, “Andrew’s current situation finally feels like a victory for us after years of being treated unfairly.”
While Prince William and Kate Middleton issued a statement addressing Jeffrey Epstein’s connection to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, they were still criticized for handling the scandal. Meghan sees this as further evidence that the institution has ignored their concerns in favor of protecting its own reputation.
She believes that William’s involvement will lead him to face repercussions from his decision to ignore these issues earlier on. “No doubt he’ll be spending years cleaning up the mess created by not addressing Andrew’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein,” Meghan muses, “and we couldn’t be happier to have escaped such a situation.”
Another close confidant echoes this sentiment: “William is about to spend considerable time and energy dealing with this scandal. Meghan and Harry are more than thrilled that they will no longer be part of it.”
