Shocking new details emerge about the feud between the Prince and Princess of Wales and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
The feud between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the Prince and Princess of Wales is said to have started around Christmas of 2018. According to recent reports, the first indication of a schism between the so-called ‘Fab Four’-Prince Harry, Prince William, Princess Kate, and Meghan Markle was when the royal couples celebrated the holiday season separately.
While William and Kate hosted their party at Kensington Palace, Harry, and Meghan chose to stay at Sandringham with the Queen. However, the split between the couples was not made public until five months later, in May 2019.

In a recent Netflix documentary, James Holt, the executive director of Harry and Meghan’s Archwell Foundation, revealed that a festive celebration for the two couples planned by Kensington Palace ended up as two parties, a move he says was indicative of the offices’ separation.
Despite speculation about the couples’ tensions in 2018, they appeared in public together on Christmas Day, walking together to St Mary Magdalene Church in Sandringham.

However, in June 2019, Harry and Meghan announced their intention to launch their own foundation, Archwell, and the couple stepped down as senior members of the royal family in early 2020.

With King Charles’ coronation only two weeks away, Buckingham Palace announced that only Harry would attend the service on May 6 at Westminster Abbey, while Meghan will remain in California with their two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Harry is expected to skip the coronation concert and subsequent events at Windsor Castle.
