MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry need to stop “mistreating the royal family” and start building bridges, says a royal author.
Phil Dampier said on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive program that the Sussexes should “try and build some bridges” after criticizing the royals.

The author shared, “They have new PR people and if they listen to their PR people – sometimes people don’t listen to their PR people – but if they listen to their PR people, I’m sure they’re telling them that right, you left your point of view, you had Spare, you had Netflix, you had the Oprah Winfrey interview, you got it all off your chest.
“Now is the time to paddle a little and try to build some bridges or at least create a life for yourself.”
Phil, who is the author of Royally Suited: Harry and Meghan in Their Own Words, claims that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s recent three days Nigeria the tour was a way for them to try to achieve this.
He added: “Obviously on the Nigeria trip they were trying to do that, the jury is still out on whether it was a good idea.
“I mean, some people call it a sort of ‘almost’ Royal Tour and I’m not sure the palace would have been particularly happy about that.
“But we can’t stop them from doing these things if they want to.
“But now it’s time for them to focus on positive things and not just continue criticizing the royal family.”
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down as senior royals in 2020 and have since moved to California.
After leaving royal duties behind four years ago, the couple made a series of accusations against the Royal Family, including in their Netflix docuseries.
Meanwhile, in Spare’s bombshell memoir of Prince Harry, he made a series of claims, including how William allegedly labeled Meghan “rude” and “difficult” during a fight at his then Kensington Palace residence, Nottingham Cottage.
Harry and William haven’t been seen together for years after their fight.
Recently, Prince Harry visited the United Kingdom for a three-day trip and did not see King Charles or Prince William.
A spokesperson for the Duke of Sussex said the reason he did not see King Charles was due to the monarch’s schedule.
They said: “Unfortunately it will not be possible due to Her Majesty’s full programme.
