Meghan Markle has learned the hard way that marrying into the royal family isn’t as ideal as it may appear. In a recent interview, she confessed, “It isn’t easy,” which raised questions about whether she made the right choice marrying Prince Harry.
Too Many Differences
When Meghan first met Harry, she quickly told her best friend, Lizzie Cundy, that he was “a catch!” However, she soon realized that being in a relationship with a royal wasn’t as simple as it seemed. Though they appear happy on camera, things are not always so smooth behind closed doors.
Disrespecting Royal Protocol
One of the latest signs that Harry and Meghan may have made a big mistake happened during the Trooping of the Colour event. As all royal members faced forward to sing the national anthem, Meghan turned to speak to Harry. He immediately told her to turn around, which left her visibly upset. This incident highlighted the difficulties Meghan faced adjusting to royal expectations.
What Will They Do With Archie?
Meghan’s regret may also stem from how the royal family has treated her son, Archie. There was public confusion when Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip skipped Archie’s christening. However, Meghan might feel better knowing that the Queen also didn’t attend Prince Louis’ christening the year before. Raising Archie in the royal family presents challenges, especially regarding shared values.
So Many Sacrifices
Meghan has had to make many sacrifices since marrying Prince Harry. As a former actress, she had to abandon things she once enjoyed, such as taking selfies and posting on social media. She also had to adjust her behavior, following strict royal protocols like sitting a certain way and avoiding colorful nails.
Dealing With His Exes
Even though Meghan married into one of the world’s most private families, she still can’t escape Harry’s past. During the Trooping the Colour event, Chelsy Davy, Harry’s ex, was seen in London, which raised questions about their relationship. Despite breaking up, Harry and Chelsy have stayed friends.
Meghan Markle’s experience sheds light on the difficulties of adjusting to royal life, showing that there are personal sacrifices and complications involved in marrying into the royal family.
