Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have embarked on a new life in the US, stepping away from the royal family several years ago, a move that shook the monarchy to its core. Allegations of the royal family’s involvement in questioning the skin color of their son, Archie, before his birth, as well as other accusations, emerged during their explosive Oprah interview and in Harry’s book “Spare.”
The relationship between the Sussexes and the royal family has hit a nadir, despite reports suggesting Prince Charles attempted to support Meghan by being the sole royal to reach out to her and Harry after the Oprah interview. Meghan’s revelation of her struggles with mental health issues during her time as a working royal, coupled with her dissatisfaction with the response she received from Charles, reportedly had a profound impact.
Their relationship began to flourish after they met at a London tennis tournament in 2016, leading to their grand wedding ceremony at St. George’s Chapel in 2018. However, Meghan’s friends had warned her about the intense media scrutiny she would face, particularly from the British tabloids, even before their marriage.
Following their departure from royal duties, Harry and Meghan didn’t hold back from criticizing the royal family. Meghan highlighted the lack of support she received during her struggles with mental health, while the Oprah interview revealed shocking instances of racism within the royal family, including concerns about Archie’s skin color.
The strained relationship between the Sussexes and the royal family became more apparent during King Charles’ coronation, where Harry attended while Meghan remained in the US. Speculation arose regarding Meghan’s absence, with rumors suggesting disappointment over Charles’ response to her concerns about unconscious bias outlined in a letter sent post-Oprah interview.
However, Meghan’s spokesperson dismissed these rumors as baseless, emphasizing her focus on the present. In a subsequent interview, Harry clarified their stance on racism within the royal family, distinguishing between unconscious bias and overt racism.
Opinions on Harry and Meghan’s actions vary, with some believing they have rightfully addressed important issues, while others view their allegations as excessive. Meghan’s letter to Prince Charles after the Oprah interview unveiled new details, including her intention not to accuse the royal family of racism but rather to discuss unconscious bias.
