'Real reason' Prince Harry and Meghan Markle haven't responded to Vanity Fair article

It's been a difficult start to the year for the Sussexes. Initially, it seemed that 2025 would be an exciting time for Harry and Meghan; the Duchess made a return to social media and announced the upcoming release of her new Netflix lifestyle show, With Love, Meghan.
But within a matter of days, things started to sour. Meghan was forced to postpone the launch of her series due to the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles, and a short time later, both Meghan and Harry were branded "disaster tourists" after helping out at a food distribution centre for victims.
Then came a scathing 8,000-word article about the couple in the American magazine Vanity Fair . The cover piece, titled 'American Hustle', set out what life was like 'Inside Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's Big Business Ambitions, 5 Years After Their Royal Exit'.
It contained troubling claims about what it's allegedly like to work for the Sussexes, complaints from their neighbours in Montecito, and the bombshell allegation that a member of Meghan's team had reached out to a publishing house to "gauge interest" in a post-divorce book.
To date, Harry and Meghan have not publicly responded to the article - and that's all for the best, according to one expert. Royal PR expert and former communications secretary to the late Queen, Ailsa Anderson, claimed that the pair's decision to not respond is likely down to the fact that they would "start adding fuel to the fire" if they were to do so.
