Meghan Markle seemingly tried to sidetrack the discussion from Prince Harry‘s new interview with the Instagram birthday post. Days after visiting the United Kingdom and a reunion with King Charles, the Duke of Sussex found himself in a bind again. On Sunday, The Guardian published their conversation with Harry, which reportedly didn’t sit well with the Royal Family. But a source claimed Markle stepped in to help him with a “smokescreen” birthday note.
Meghan Markle’s birthday post for Prince Harry was a distraction from his tone-deaf interview, says source
Rob Shuter #ShuterScoop learned that Meghan Markle’s birthday post for Prince Harry was only a distraction from his new and “tone-deaf” interview. The duke’s latest one-on-one with The Guardian, during which he defended his tell-all memoir “Spare,” left the Royal Family livid mere days after his reunion with King Charles. As he stumbled into trouble again, his wife stepped up and tried to come to his rescue on Monday, while celebrating his 41st birthday.
A source dubbed Markle “smart” for her effort to shift the focus because she knew “Harry’s comments stirred up a storm.” They believe her birthday tribute post “wasn’t just about love,” but an attempt at “changing the narrative” and refocusing the “spotlight back to their marriage” instead of his “feud with the royals.”
On Monday, the Duchess took to Instagram to drop a flirty remark for the Duke of Sussex. In the post, she shared a throwback photo of him from before they had met. PEOPLE reported that it dates back to Harry’s 31st birthday, when he visited Goodwood Aerodrome to mark the 75th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain. The caption said, “Oh hi, Birthday Boy” with a fire emoji.
Shuter’s report further revealed that Meghan Markle intended to deflect the discussion in the headlines from Prince Harry’s interview, especially on his birthday. The insider claimed that the mom of two “wanted the headlines to be about her thirsting after Harry,” not about him upsetting his family again.
