Phil Dampier said on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show the Sussexes should “try to build some bridges” after criticising the royals.
The author shared: “They’ve got new PR people and if they listen to their PR people – sometimes people don’t listen to their PR people – but if they listen to their PR people,
I’m sure they’re telling them that right, you’ve made your point, you’ve had Spare, you’ve had Netflix, you’ve had the Oprah Winfrey interview, you’ve got it all off your chest.
“Now’s the time to row back a bit and try and try and build some bridges or at least create a life for yourself.”
Phil, who is the author of Royally Suited: Harry and Meghan in their own words,
claims the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s recent three-day Nigeria tour was a way for them to try to achieve that.
He added: “Obviously the Nigeria trip they were trying to do that, the jury’s out as to whether that was a good idea.
“I mean, some people call it a sort of ‘quasi’ Royal Tour and I’m not sure that the palace would have been particularly happy about it.
“But we can’t stop them doing these things if they want to.
“But it’s now time for them to focus on positive things and not just keep slagging off the royal family.”
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down as senior working royals in 2020 and have since relocated to California.
Following leaving royal duties behind four years ago, the couple have made a number of accusations against the Royal Family, including in their Netflix docuseries.
Meanwhile, in Prince Harry’s bombshell Spare memoir, he made a number of claims, including how William allegedly branded Meghan “rude” and “difficult” during a row at his then residence on the grounds of Kensington Palace, Nottingham Cottage.
Harry and William haven’t been seen together in years after their rift.
Recently, Prince Harry visited the UK for a three-day trip and didn’t see King Charles or Prince William.
A spokesperson for the Duke of Sussex said the reason for him not seeing King Charles was due to the monarch’s schedule.
They said: “It unfortunately will not be possible due to His Majesty’s full programme.
“The Duke of course is understanding of his father’s diary of commitments and various other priorities and hopes to see him soon.”
The statement made no mention of Harry seeing Prince William.
Meanwhile, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s daughter Lilibet turned three this week and has barely met her UK family, including her grandfather.
Phil said the birthday celebrations are tinged with an “underlying sadness” due to the “rift” that divides the family.
Phil added that it’s also “very sad” for Meghan’s father Thomas Markle, who reportedly has never met his grandkids or even son-in-law Prince Harry.
