The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down as working royals in 2020

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's relationships with their families are almost non-existent and will be difficult to mend, a royal commentator has claimed.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been publicly feuding with the Markles and the Royal Family for several years.


Thomas Markle Sr, Meghan's father, has never met the couple's children and has made multiple public pleas to see them.

Harry is no longer on speaking terms with the Prince and Princess of Wales following the publication of his autobiography Spare, which contained several damaging claims about Kate and William.

Royal commentator Michael Cole told GB News that the Sussexes have possibly damaged their relationships with their family members beyond repair.

Cole said: "It is interesting to note that Meghan is not on speaking terms with any of her family apart from her mother and a niece.

"Nobody else in her family speaks to her and she does not speak to them.

"Likewise the relationship between Prince Harry and his family is hardly existing at this moment, which is not surprising considering the criticism that has been laid about the Royal Family from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex since they departed from the royal circle."

He added: "It is difficult to see how those relationships are going to be mended without some apologies on the part of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

"They are showing no signs of that."

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams pointed to the release of Omid Scobie's explosive book Endgame as the hammer blow to the couple's relationship with the monarchy.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have distanced themselves from Scobie's and have stressed no one in their camp has leaked information to the journalist.

Fitzwilliams said: "Endgame clearly illustrates how utterly irresponsible the Sussexes are.

"The Sussexes are totally untrustworthy in my view.

"They are best staying away in Montecito."

He added regarding their relationship with the royals: "Frankly, it is at rock bottom."
