00:00 Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are packing on the PVA at the 2023 Invictus Games.
00:05 The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped out together for the Ukraine-Nigeria mixed team
00:11 sitting volleyball match during Day 5 in Dusseldorf on Thursday and looked so in love.
00:17 The couple joined fans in the stands at the event and Harry was seen wrapping his arms
00:22 around his wife as she leaned back into him and grabbed his arm. In another tender moment,
00:28 Meghan put her arm around his back and the pair looked at each other with wide grins.
00:33 Earlier in the day, the parents of two had another sweet moment when they held hands
00:38 while meeting with NATO Joint Force Command and families from Italy and the Netherlands.
00:43 The duo has been in Germany attending the International Sporting Event for
00:47 Injured, Wounded or Sick Service Members which was founded by Prince Harry in 2014.
00:54 After stepping away from their roles as senior working members of the royal family in 2020,
00:59 they have remained active members of the organization and have been showing more
01:03 affection for each other at the events despite a rumored protocol for the royal family that
01:09 advises against showing PDA. Breaking from tradition, the couple have debuted a more
01:14 laid-back approach to their involvement like on Wednesday when Meghan was spotted holding
01:19 a dog in her arms while Harry wrapped his around her. After attending the medal ceremony at
01:25 wheelchair basketball finals that same day, the 42-year-old also put her arm on her husband and
01:31 laughed with him as they walked hand in hand. Earlier this year, the 38-year-old released his
01:37 bombshell memoir, Spare. After the book hit shelves, DailyMail.com's Charlie Langston gave
01:42 Access Hollywood her take on how it could impact a potential reconciliation between the Sussexes
01:49 and the Royals. "Hugely mixed emotions. I think anyone who has seen their name dragged through
01:57 the mud by a family member in such a public forum couldn't help but feel huge amounts of hurt,
02:06 betrayal, but also anger, especially because of all people. Harry is very much aware that
02:16 senior members of the royal family are bound by certain rules that prevent them from
02:24 acknowledging attacks like this. Only on very, very rare occasions will the palace comment
02:34 on allegations, accusations, rumors, and so on. And even when they do comment, it is a very short,
02:42 one-line response. When William, for example, said, "We are very much not a racist family."
02:48 When Buckingham Palace issued a statement about the Oprah interview saying that recollections may
02:53 vary. At no point has anyone inside the palace walls been given the opportunity to defend
03:00 themselves. And Harry knows this. In one of his TV interviews to publicize the book, he parrots the
03:08 fact that the royal family's motto is "Never complain, never explain." So he knows that their
03:13 hands are tied and that there is very little that they can do to defend themselves. So he is
03:19 effectively shouting attacks at his brother, at Kate, at Charles, at Camilla, all of whom have
03:28 metaphorical tape over their mouths. And that is the written version of kicking someone when they
03:34 are down. Right. Yeah. Like they literally can't defend themselves. What's the interview you just
03:40 referenced? Just so we know the one. The 60 Minutes interview with Anderson Cooper, which
03:46 they've aired an advanced clip of. Okay. Sounds good. And then last thing, because I know you
03:51 have to go. After all of these bombshell claims, do you think that Meghan and Harry have just
03:56 totally ruined their relationship with royal families? Is there any way they could ever come
04:00 back from all of this? You know, I think the relationship between the Sussexes and the royal
04:04 family was destroyed long before the book was released. I think that Meghan and Harry had
04:11 reached a point of no return months ago. I think the book is just yet more evidence of why they can
04:20 never be welcomed back into the royal family. What has been proven by the Sussexes time and time
04:29 again is that there is no end point. We had the Oprah interview, which was, if you are going to
04:37 look at it very kindly, their opportunity to tell their story. However, if you're going to look at
04:45 it with a very cynical eye, when they received what is estimated to be a hundred million dollar
04:53 Netflix deal, they were happy to once again share their side of the story because they were making
04:59 money. Same with Harry's book. He received a very handsome publishing deal, millions upon millions
05:07 of dollars, that paid for all of the information that you are going to read in its pages. As we
05:16 understand it, Meghan is going to follow suit and publish her own book, which will no doubt
05:22 rehash many of the accusations and allegations that we've already heard, and who knows,
05:28 it may well include further bombshells. So while the royal family may have been willing to give
05:35 Harry and Meghan a certain amount of grace after the Oprah interview, at this point,
05:41 how do you even begin to try and repair the relationship? Because as we've said,
05:46 they can never trust that private conversations that they have with Harry and Meghan won't make
05:52 it into the pages of a book, won't make it onto the screens of a Netflix documentary. The trust
05:57 has been irrevocably broken, and I don't think that that is something that can ever be repaired.
