Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has sparked new tension after her Jordan trip with Prince Harry. A source said, “The Palace is livid.” They added, “looks like a full-scale royal tour without the permission slip.”

Meanwhile, another report says the Sussexes visited Amman on February 25 and 26. The outlet said she had “this trip lined up for a while.” It noted the timing came a week after the ex-Prince Andrew’s arrest, and the source stated, “The timing couldn’t have worked out better.”

Meghan Markle feels she and Prince Harry ‘scored a major coup’ with Jordan trip, per source

Star Magazine reported that the “Suits” alum kept the visit “tightly under wraps” because she wanted “maximum impact.” The report described a two-day schedule built around humanitarian optics. It is also called the Middle East stop, a “faux royal tour.”

Still, Star tied the larger context to the ex-Prince Andrew’s arrest on February 19. It said the former prince was taken into custody on suspicion of misconduct in public office. The report said it involved allegations that he shared confidential trade documents as an envoy. It also noted, “Andrew has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.” As a result, the monarchy was described as taking a “hammering.”

However, the source said the Jordan trip became a branding moment. They said, “Meghan’s feeling very smug.” They added, “She feels like she and Harry have scored a major coup.” The source also claimed she wants to outshine the royal family while they scramble. The insider also said the trip should have been “all about giving back.” Instead, they claimed it was “very much about power and image.”

Even so, the report said the duo wants leverage through headlines. The source said, “Meghan wants to position herself and Harry as the modern alternative to the royal family.” They added, “That’s a huge part of her branding.” The insider claimed Harry hopes it could “soften” the royals. Ultimately, it concluded, in truth, “all they are doing is making William even angrier.”
