Ex-pal slams Meghan Markle and Prince Harry for monetizing royal titles and lambasts them for their disloyalty towards the British royal family. Royal experts warn that their distancing from the Windsors will deepen their rift and further damage their chances of reconciliation.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's persistent criticism of the British royal family has drawn strong condemnation from a former friend, British model and TV presenter Lizzie Cundy. Cundy, who met Markle in 2013, lamented the Duchess of Sussex's decision to snub King Charles' coronation and slammed the couple for using their royal connections for financial gain.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex's public attacks on the royals have raised concerns among experts, who fear that the couple's rift with the family will only widen as they expand their business empire in California. Author Christopher Andersen claims that Harry and Meghan have "drifted so far out to sea" that there is little chance of reconciliation. He suggests that even if Harry begs for forgiveness, the best he can hope for is "crumbs from the royal table."
