Arthur Edwards Breaks His Silence at 85: Explosive Words Aimed Straight at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry
After more than half a century behind the lens, capturing every rise and fall of the British Royal Family, legendary royal photographer Arthur Edwards has finally spoken out at the age of 85 — and what he says is sending shockwaves through public opinion. The man who once witnessed the fairy-tale romance of Charles and Diana from its earliest days is now delivering his harshest remarks yet about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
In a rare and candid interview, The Sun’s veteran lensman did not mince his words. Arthur Edwards said he has never seen a period as “chaotic, turbulent, and divisive” as the one that followed the Sussexes’ decision to step back from royal duties — an event the world now knows as Megxit.
According to Edwards, Meghan and Harry lost the most valuable thing the monarchy possesses: dignified silence. He argued that the couple’s constant media appearances, controversial interviews, and personal revelations have steadily damaged their image in the eyes of the British public. “They once had everything — affection, positive curiosity, and a wide-open future. But they pushed it all away with their own hands,” Edwards remarked bluntly.
He went further, hinting that behind the red-carpet smiles lies a carefully calculated media strategy — one that has ultimately backfired. In his view, the more Meghan and Harry try to explain themselves, the more exhausted and skeptical the public becomes.
The words of Arthur Edwards, widely regarded as a “living witness” to the modern monarchy, immediately caused a stir. For many, this was not merely a personal opinion, but the voice of someone who has seen countless behind-the-scenes moments the public has never been privy to.
As the interview drew to a close, Edwards left listeners with a short but haunting line: “The monarchy survives on patience and silence. Those who turn their backs on that, sooner or later, pay the price.”
And perhaps, for Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, the storm called “Megxit” is far from over.
