Attentive followers of the royal soap opera have got used to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle sabotaging Prince William and Kate Middleton’s big set pieces in recent years.
When William had an event for his charity Earthshot in the diary in Boston last December, for example, up popped the trailer for their new show Harry & Meghan. Meghan’s famous ‘Are You OK?’ interview was released the same day as Kate set off for a tour of Pakistan. And just this week, minutes before William and Kate were due to lay a wreath for the queen on the one year anniversary of her death, an emotional -ooking Harry was spotted paying tribute to his grandmother Queen Elizabeth on an oh-so casual visit to her burial place in Windsor.
