Omid Scobie, on the other hand, slammed the heir when details about the heir's apparent first visit with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's daughter Lilibet were revealed on the same day Buckingham Palace and Clarence House shared financial data.

Meghan Markle's close pal believed the action helped divert public and media attention away from the criticism Harry received after it was revealed he took monetary donations.

Scobie stated that when the Prince of Wales was obliged to announce via a spokesperson that he will no longer take plastic bags containing money for his charities, one of his top advisers also told journalists about the heir's first visit with granddaughter Lilibet last month.

The funds were quickly transferred to Prince Charles' organizations, and there was no indication that the payments were improper. According to a senior royal source, the prince has not taken any monetary contributions in the last five years, and the practice is officially prohibited inside the Royal Family, as per The Sun.

Omid points out that other royal scandals haven't gotten much attention recently, with reports focused on Meghan Markle's bullying charges and Prince Charles' first meeting with his granddaughter Lilibet.

Consider Prince Charles' current dispute about taking monetary donations for his charity. At the same time as the palace was doing damage control on this report, senior officials revealed information on Lili and Prince Charles' initial encounter. As a consequence, news regarding his financial scandal was hidden.

Meanwhile, the royals' high spending figures were overshadowed in the news cycle by a suspiciously timed update on the inquiry into bullying charges against the Duchess of Sussex.

The palace hasn't reacted to this deflect and divert strategy, but their newest issues won't be the last, so it'll be fascinating to see how they handle the next one, as per Yahoo.
