<p id=”par-1_47″><a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/prince-harry/?swcfpc=1″>Prince Harry</a> and <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/meghan-markle/?swcfpc=1″>Meghan Markle</a> surprised fans everywhere when they decided to step down as working royals. But perhaps no one could have predicted that after moving across the pond more than 5,000 miles away, that the Sussexes would air out the family’s dirty laundry so publicly.</p>
<p id=”par-2_24″>The duke and duchess did so multiple times in televised prime-time specials, podcasts, magazine interviews, a Netflix docuseries, and in <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/prince-harrys-memoir-spare-now-become-one-most-discarded-books-time.html/”>Harry’s memoir <em>Spare</em></a><em>.</em> </p>
<p id=”par-3_61″>Things quieted down a bit between the Sussexes and royals after King Charles and the Princess of Wales (<a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/dont-be-fooled-this-is-what-kate-middleton-was-really-like-in-school.html/”>formerly known as Kate Middleton</a>) announced they were battling cancer, but some wonder if Meghan and Harry will go on the attack again. Well, a royal expert is claiming that “thinly veiled threats” Meghan made previously against the family answers that question. </p>

<p id=”par-4_34″>Sunday Times Royal Editor and commentator Roya Nikkhah believes Meghan fired a warning shot during an interview years ago so the entire family knows she could do exactly what Harry did with <em>Spare</em>. </p>
<p id=”par-5_18″>Nikkhah discussed the duchess’s remarks, which she described as “threats” on <a href=”https://play.trueroyalty.tv/the-royal-beat-1″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>True Royalty TV’s <em>The Royal Beat</em></a>. </p>
<p id=”par-6_73″>“The thinly veiled threats came in [Meghan’s interview with The Cut],” Nikkhah said. “I think [she] probably hopes it does [feel threatening] to the royal family… But I think there’s a lot of eye-rolling going, ‘We’re used to this by now’ … But that phrase, ‘I have a lot to say until I don’t’ and ‘I’ve never signed anything that restricts me from talking’ … there was a very strong inference there.</p>
<p id=”par-7_90″>“And, of course, the reminder that she keeps a journal, and the revelation that, ‘When we came back to Windsor, to Frogmore Cottage for the Jubilee, I rediscovered my journal that I’d left there’ — I was astonished to discover that she had left a highly private diary behind in Windsor, rather than taking it back. She’s mentioned a couple of times in the last year or two that she kept a journal, and I think there is a very strong inference that Meghan could write her own memoir.”</p>

<p id=”par-8_36″>Nikkhah added that she doesn’t buy Meghan’s story about returning to Frogmore Cottage and finding her journal. Instead, Nikkhah believes that Harry’s wife just told that story as an excuse to talk about the journal. </p>
<p id=”par-9_47″>“Most of their belongings were packed up a long time before they even left for Canada and America, so packing up was done,” the commentator said. “Certainly when [Princess] Eugenie lived there for a while with her husband and child, they had the run of the house.</p>
<p id=”par-10_44″>“I think that most of Harry and Meghan’s belongings that remained, which weren’t many, were stored away. So I don’t think she came back and packed up the whole house … I read it as an opportunity for her to mention the journal.” </p>
