Meghan Markle likely had an idea of what she was getting herself into when she married into the British Royal Family. After all, women have married royal men before and been famously forced to endure all kinds of public criticism.

 

Yet though as a celebrity she was already versed with the media and the sometimes unfair pictures that can be paint, it would appear that the sheer level of attention and controversial coverage she received all became too much.

 

It’s now been years since Prince Harry and Meghan decided to step back from their royal roles, preferring to seek out pastures new in the US. It was a decision with huge ramifications, and one that has seen the couple fall out of popularity following their choice to openly criticize the Royal Family to which they once belonged.

 

Readers will remember how Harry and Meghan sat down with Oprah Winfrey to fire all manner of accusations at the British royals after their move Stateside. Then came their candid Netflix series, followed by Harry’s memoir Spare, within the pages of which he doubled down on the fiercest of claims while actively making new ones.
