Amid Meghan’s Request for King Charles to Abdicate in Favor of Her Husband, Former Aide Samantha Cohen Scoffs: “Meghan Is Aiming to Take Over the Entire British Royal Family”
In yet another jaw-dropping twist within the House of Windsor, reports have emerged that Meghan Markle has allegedly urged King Charles III to abdicate the throne in favor of his younger son, Prince Harry. The unprecedented request, which sources say was made in private correspondence, has sparked outrage, disbelief, and fierce backlash both within royal circles and across the UK.
Former royal aide Samantha Cohen, who worked closely with both Queen Elizabeth II and Meghan Markle during her time as Duchess of Sussex, did not hold back when asked for comment. With a sarcastic chuckle, Cohen reportedly responded:
“Meghan isn’t just thinking about titles anymore—she’s aiming to take over the entire British royal family. It’s outrageous, delusional, and frankly offensive.”
According to insiders, Meghan’s alleged pitch to King Charles included reasoning that Harry was “more relatable” to the younger generation, “free from the burdens of scandal,” and “uniquely positioned to modernize the Crown with compassion and global appeal.” The suggestion, however, was reportedly dismissed outright by the King and his senior advisors.
One palace source described the proposal as “a fantasy with no basis in royal protocol or constitutional law,” while another added, “If Meghan believes Harry can be king without being next in line, she misunderstands everything about how the monarchy works.”
The idea has provoked sharp criticism even among those who once supported the Sussexes. Royal historian Dr. Margaret Whitmore called the move “breathtakingly arrogant,” adding, “Monarchies don’t operate on popularity polls or American PR strategies. The Crown isn’t a brand to be handed off like a reality show trophy.”
Even Prince William, though refraining from any public comment, is said to be “deeply disturbed” by the ambition displayed. Meanwhile, King Charles is reportedly saddened, but not surprised, by Meghan’s bold maneuvering. A source close to the monarch said,
“His Majesty has made it clear that he loves both of his sons, but abdication is not—and never will be—on the table.”
Public reaction has been swift and polarized. While some of Meghan’s supporters argue that the monarchy needs a dramatic shift, the overwhelming majority of British citizens have rejected the idea outright, calling it “unconstitutional,” “narcissistic,” and “an insult to tradition.”
As tensions continue to escalate between the Sussexes and the Royal Family, one thing remains clear: the divide is deeper than ever—and reconciliation seems more distant by the day.
