Royal Protocols: The Sussexes’ Unwelcome Return to the Palace

Rumors have been swirling that the Prince and Princess of Wales have implemented a series of security measures aimed at managing the ongoing turmoil surrounding the Sussexes.

According to insights shared by Barkjack on X, these protocols are not just your run-of-the-mill precautions; they come complete with intriguing codenames tailored specifically for Harry and Meghan's visits—or as some might call them, invasions.

Among the new measures is a “guest protocol” that strictly prohibits the Sussexes from entering palace grounds without an escort.

Then there's “Operation Tandem,” a no-nonsense rule designed to ensure that Harry and Meghan are not captured in photographs alongside working royals.

This development underscores a growing perception that the Sussexes are seen as adversaries to the monarchy itself, with speculation swirling that they have even been assigned their own adversarial codenames.

If these rumors hold any weight, it seems entirely reasonable for William and Catherine to take steps to safeguard their privacy and reputation.

The drama surrounding the Sussexes isn't just theoretical; there's a history of Harry being closely monitored during his visits to royal residences.

For instance, during a chilly visit in February to see King Charles III, Harry was whisked directly from the airport to Clarence House under tight security, where he underwent checks before a brief, supervised meeting with his father.

The underlying message was unmistakable: trust is in short supply.

This cautious approach has left Harry feeling like a stranger in places he once called home.

He's been treated as persona non grata, with limited access to royal properties, a situation that extends to Meghan as well.

In fact, there was a reported incident where Meghan opted to stay at the airport rather than risk stepping onto royal grounds, highlighting how far removed they are from their previous lives as prominent members of the royal family.

While much of this tension unfolds behind closed doors, some tantalizing details have seeped into public awareness.

Take, for example, the so-called “Sussex Survivors Club,” comprised of former palace staff who allegedly endured Meghan's outbursts and Harry's less-than-mature behavior.

The bullying allegations against Meghan were so damaging that they were reportedly buried to protect the monarchy's image, yet insiders suggest the most outrageous behaviors remain hidden from public view.

The stories that have emerged, however, paint a troubling picture.

Reports of late-night parties at Nottingham Cottage, complete with fireworks, supposedly disturbed neighbors, including an ambassador who finally lodged a complaint.

It's said that Catherine herself had to step in and ask the couple to keep the noise down.

Then there were the frequent helicopter trips to cater to Meghan's whims, a practice that was reportedly curtailed by the late Queen Elizabeth II.

The Sussexes' relocation to Frogmore Cottage, despite ongoing renovations, can be seen as a subtle form of exile from Kensington Palace, signaling that their antics had reached a breaking point.

Despite their change of scenery, Harry and Meghan continued their trend of alienating those around them.

As one observer aptly noted, “play stupid games, win stupid prizes.” If William and Catherine have indeed established these protocols regarding the Sussexes, it's less about being overly dramatic and more about necessity.

The couple's flair for the dramatic, combined with their public grievances, has left the royal family with little choice but to enforce strict boundaries.

Although the full extent of the chaos behind the scenes remains largely a mystery, one thing is abundantly clear: Harry and Meghan are unlikely to find a warm welcome back into the royal fold anytime soon.
