In 2018, Meghan Markle married Prince Harry and became a member of the royal family. A fairy tale that was short-lived. Two years later, the couple decided to withdraw from office and itching in California, in a mansion in Montecito, with their two children: Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
The reason? Become financially independent and be able to enjoy their privacy a little more. In any case, that's what the Duke and Duchess of Sussex said at the time. But for some experts, those weren't the only reasons. If Meghan Markle wanted to withdraw, it is because she couldn't have what she wanted.
Meghan Markle: what she was looking for in the royal family
“I have always maintained that Meghan failed to understand that she would never be the royal family's top dog… or even deputy top dog”declared Jennie
Bondthe former royal correspondent, in the columns of the magazine OK !. She then added: “There's absolutely nothing wrong with wanting to be in complete control and charge of your life. There's nothing wrong with seeking the spotlight. It's just that the royal family was the wrong vehicle for his ambitions.
An opinion also shared by another royal expert,
Phil Dampier. But for him, it goes much further. He assumes that Meghan Markle never intended to stay in the royal family for long and that she never really felt any “affection” for her husband's country of origin.
Meghan Markle had no 'plan to stay'
'To be honest, I don't think she ever intended to stay in the royal family'he clarified to The Sun. He concludes: “Unfortunately, I think she was prepared to have a wonderful wedding costing millions of pounds, but I don't think her heart was ever really in it. I thinkshe always planned to leave“.
In recent months, Meghan and Prince Harry have decided to launch their own project, each on their own, and to establish their individual brand image.
“I think their decision to pursue individual brands could indeed work in their favor in the long run, although it is sure to spark a fair amount of public speculation in the short term. From a PR perspective, this shift could allow each of them to create distinct brands that better reflect their different priorities and resonate more cohesively with their individual audiences.”analyse Renae
