Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s tumultuous past two years is being detailed in a comic book commissioned by one publication.
Insider tapped two comic creators to create a comic tale about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and their recent struggles with the royal family.
Anthony Del Col and Josh Adams titled their comic tale, The Great Escape. They were also the ones that created a comic book at Donald Trump, why the POTUS was impeached, and what he got away with.
The comic tale starts with a young Prince Harry living in the palace. The young boy woke up one summer morning, and he could immediately tell that something was amiss.
Prince Charles tells his sons that their mom, Princess Diana had died in a car crash in Paris. The authors said that the young prince would never forget what happened to his mom, and it would affect him until he becomes older.
“He blamed the paparazzi for what happened to her. It was a major reason why he hated being a member of the royal family. So, like all teenagers, he rebelled,” they said.
Prince Harry’s military life is also detailed in The Great Escape. According to the authors, the Duke of Sussex was so excited about his deployment in Iraq. But the tabloids found out about it even before he could participate in the mission.
The prime minister and the cabinet eventually decided not to allow Prince Harry to be deployed in Iraq for his safety and the safety of the other military men.
Prince Harry had the chance to serve in Afghanistan a few months later. But the tabloids turned his military involvement into frontpage news.
Years later, Prince Harry met Markle after they were introduced to each other by a common friend. The two immediately fell in love with each other. And it didn’t take long before Prince Harry proposed to Markle.
Shortly after the engagement, Markle’s dad, Thomas Markle Sr., started talking to the tabloids. He kept giving information about the Duchess of Sussex, and this didn’t sit well with Prince Harry and Markle.
Even after their royal wedding, Thomas continued to lambast the couple during his interviews. And he also accused them of freezing him out.
The Great Escape also talks about Prince William and Prince Harry’s relationship, as well as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s decision to quit The Firm.
