I don't think so at this point nor for the foreseeable future. Tom Bradby made some comments earlier in the week regarding that there has been friction going back to the wedding so the behind the scenes disharmony actually preceded the media onslaught....
I do think rather that the family is stronger with Harry (and Meghan) in it and finding some way to serve. They are an asset when it comes to the work itself. But the attacks on them were untenable (and I know not everyone agrees here that they were untoward) in the long term.
....
My take is that Meghan realized that things were not going to get better with neither the British media nor the so-called "men in grey". Concurrent with that is that she has become a global superstar and as such there are opportunities galore for her make money and support the causes that she holds dear without being in a work environment that she undoubtedly finds toxic. It was probably a no-brainer in her mind that she needed to shake the BRF off and move on to the next chapter. I think all the rhetoric around serving the monarchy is for PR and also probably represents Harry's point of view, although it should be noted that Harry seems to have reverence for his grandmother and her role but he's also made clear that he does not care for bread and butter royal work.
Interestingly it is often referenced that the Windsors are ruthless and IMO Meghan is ruthless as well. I don't agree with quite a few things that the Sussexes have done but I don't know if I should be blase about one party's ruthless ways and condemning of the other's.
I think in the long-term the BRF will be fine and Meghan will be fine, the unknown is Harry. My hope is that the current uncoupling and the uncoupling(s) to come will be done amiably and that there is room for reconciliation and, to borrow a phrase from the Sussex Royal website, new working models.
