LONDON, England – Prince Harry faces a life of permanent "exile" with King Charles III plotting to follow the playbook drawn up by the royals when they overcame the crisis triggered by Edward VIII, the king who abdicated in 1936 and was obliged to live the rest of his life outside the U.K.  That's what the headlines in the gossip columns say about the recent return of Harry and Meghan to the U.K., but the truth is much different.  Let me explain. The Royal family evolves and divides after each reign with no one safe from exclusion.

Former staffers who worked on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s team before they stepped down as senior royals in 2020 called themselves the "Sussex Survivors Club" because of the difficulties in dealing with them, according to an excerpt from a new book.  The duchess was also called a "narcissistic sociopath" by her team behind her back, Sunday Times royal reporter Valentine Low writes in her book "In Courtiers: the Hidden Power Behind the Crown" to be released next month, citing sources.  In one specific instance, Low writes that Kensington Palace was in a "panic" after Meghan abruptly left a planned 15-minute meeting in at a marketplace in Fiji in 2018 for a project to help women that was run by the group UN Women.  The palace initially said Meghan left after only eight minutes for security reasons, then claimed it was because of "crowd management issues," but it later emerged Meghan didn’t want to be associated with UN Women branding, according to Low.  Meghan, Duchess of Sussex during the State Funeral of Queen Elizabeth II at Westminster Abbey on September 19, 2022 in London, England.  (Photo by Karwai Tang/WireImage via Getty Images) "I can’t believe I’ve been put in this situation," Meghan reportedly complained to an aide before leaving, promoting a staffer to call her "nuts" and the situation "insane." The duchess was seen moments later in a car crying.  Low writes that the palace had to assure Scotland Yard that Meghan had proper protection while on the trip through the South Pacific after reports came out about her being rushed from the marketplace.  The author noted it wasn’t clear why Meghan wouldn’t want to be associated with UN Women and her lawyers have denied that claim.  "This is completely false,"
