Phyllis Siddall of Hampshire has sent a letter criticizing Prince Harry for blaming Prince William and suggesting that Harry himself is responsible for tensions within the royal family. Siddall argues that the Sussexes’ public complaints have strained relations with the UK and urges them to step back from royal duties to let others carry on smoothly.

A letter expressing frustration toward the Duke and Duchess of Sussex has been submitted by Phyllis Siddall of Lymington, Hampshire. In the letter, Siddall criticizes Prince Harry for placing blame on his brother, Prince William, for various personal and public issues, suggesting that responsibility lies primarily with Harry himself.

Siddall contends that the Sussexes have caused considerable difficulties, particularly by attributing problems to William and Catherine, the Prince and Princess of Wales. She acknowledges the challenges faced by the Prince and Princess of Wales, including Catherine’s illness, commending them for handling these challenges with "grace and dignity," qualities she argues are lacking in the Sussexes.

The letter also addresses the couple’s public criticisms of the United Kingdom, implying that such actions have strained their relationship with the country and its institutions. Siddall concludes by urging Harry and Meghan to remain away from the public spotlight and to allow other members of the royal family to continue their duties without interference.
