‘The public are fed up!’ Meghan and Harry to spend 2024 ‘in the wilderness’ as ‘olive branch’ hopes quashed

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are gearing up for a year “in the wilderness” after a busy 2023, according to a royal commentator.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex found themselves at the centre of controversy after a series of royal revelations via books and documentaries.

According to Charles Rae, the public are now “fed up” of hearing about the pair, and played down the prospect of a royal reconciliation.

“It’s great to have had a Christmas period where we’ve not heard anything about the Montecito Muppets”, he told GB News.

“Omid Scobie’s book, Endgame, sold only about 40,000 copies worldwide, which just goes to show how much people are so fed up with Harry and Meghan’s constant moaning.”

Harry and Meghan have distanced themselves from the book and Scobie himself confirmed he did not speak to the Sussexes while writing it.

The controversial book criticised Princess Kate, claiming she was not on hand to help Meghan as she suffered with suicidal thoughts.

Rae said any hopes of a royal reconciliation are quashed as a result of the book, despite apparent olive branches between the Sussexes and Charles.

Discussing what they may have in the offing for 2024, Rae said: “We’ll have to wait and see what they do, as long as they stay quiet.

“I want to say that any hopes that there’s going to be any olive branch given out by the King or from Harry is just not going to happen.

“They’re in the wilderness now and they’re going to stay there.”

It comes after the King spoke to Meghan and Harry on his 75 birthday in November.

The phone call sparked rumours the couple may spend the festive period with the Royal Family.

The Sussexes instead enjoyed Christmas in Montecito with their children, Archie and Lilibet, after a holiday in Costa Rica.

It makes four consecutive Christmas periods in the US for the Sussexes, with their daughter having never celebrated the festive period in the UK.

The King was instead joined over the festive period by Queen Camilla’s family at Sandringham, meaning the guest list had to be expanded.

The Queen’s children and grandchildren joined the Royal Family in a plan that is said to have left royal staff disgruntled.

Royal staff were asked to give up their rooms to accommodate the extra visitors.
