Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s departure from the royal family has stirred controversy. Accusations of racism and neglect have strained relations between them and the royals.
In 2019, Meghan disclosed that friends warned her about marrying Harry due to media scrutiny. She said, “I had no idea… my British friends… said I shouldn’t do it because ‘the British tabloids will destroy your life.’”
Their relationship with the royals soured further after their Oprah interview. Meghan revealed concerns about Archie’s skin color, while Harry mentioned Charles’s offer to walk Meghan down the aisle. Despite Charles’s efforts to mend fences, tensions persisted. Meghan’s spokesperson dismissed rumors about her absence at King Charles’s coronation.
In a 2023 interview, Harry addressed allegations of racism, distinguishing between unconscious bias and racism.
The rift between Harry, Meghan, and the royal family raises questions about their allegations and the future of the monarchy.
