Photos show just how divided the royal family has become

A photo recap of the last four years of royal life shows how divisions in the royal family have grown.

After announcing their decision to step back as senior working royals, Harry and Meghan reunited with royal family members at the annual Commonwealth Service at Westminster Abbey.William and Kate chatted with Prince Edward (then Earl of Wessex) and Sophie (then Countess of Wessex), but did not appear to speak to or make eye contact with Harry and Meghan, who were seated a row behind them.

The couple said that some royal family members expressed concerns about how dark Archie’s skin would be before he was born, and that Meghan felt suicidal due to constant bombardment from British tabloids. Meghan also said that she was “silenced” by the royal family, unable to defend herself against numerous false reports while other family members’ reputations were prioritized.”That was hard to reconcile because it was only once we were married and everything started to really worsen that I came to understand that not only was I not being protected, but that they were willing to lie to protect other members of the family,” she said. “They weren’t willing to tell the truth to protect me and my husband.”After the interview aired, Buckingham Palace issued a statement calling the issues Meghan and Harry raised “concerning.””Whilst some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately,” the statement said.

At Prince Phillip’s funeral procession, Princess Anne’s son, Peter Phillips, walked between William and Harry.A Buckingham Palace spokesperson told People magazine that the arrangement was “a practical change rather than sending a signal.””This is a funeral and we are not going to be drawn into perceptions of drama,” the palace spokesperson said. “The arrangements have been agreed and represent Her Majesty’s wishes.”While they didn’t walk next to each other at the funeral, William and Harry were seen walking and talking together afterwards
