A week of chaos and confusion for Harry and Meghan amid the media war

It was a personal one Family meeting Between the King and Queen and Prince Harry, Meghan and their children Archie and Lilybeth, Friday.

But there were no pictures from this secret meeting and the private time at Highgrove didn’t change the narrative on what had been a difficult week for visitors from California.

But there was chaos even before Harry’s tour began.

A war of words has been waged between Prince Harry’s entourage and Buckingham Palace over where they will be staying during the tour, with fiercely contested statements.

But worse was to follow, with an accidental bad timing fit for a disaster movie.

As soon as his first participation in the Invictus Games began, rumors spread that Prince Harry had lost all claim to the publishers of the Daily Mail when he was taken to the stage.

As he began his speech, as the news echoed around the phones in the room, it was a far greater defeat than many had imagined.

Plans for an on-camera statement from Prince Harry in the afternoon were quickly scuppered. The press will no longer be able to enter an event scheduled for the next day.

Harry – popularly known as Harold by his brother William – has had a bad week.

Two of Invictus’ events had already been completely covered up, taking the focus away from its work supporting injured military veterans.

And while team Sussex stumbled, the The Prince of Wales was enjoying a trouble-free visit to Hastings.A place famous for the battle in which William defeated Harold.
