Meghan Markle’s struggle within the royal family has been an ongoing issue for her even though she has exited the royal life with her husband, Prince Harry and son, Archie Harrison. Her life before marrying into royalty was one that she was most proud of, Meghan Markle was an actress who was also a vibrant activist.
When Meghan decided to marry Prince Harry of the British monarchy, she knew the sacrifices she had to make. Her life in America, her career and even her beliefs.
Insiders who have worked with the Duchess of Sussex closely have revealed several times how Meghan was struggling with being silent. How she was pushed into the sidelines when the Duchess thought she had the opportunity to be more outspoken on topics close to her heart.
Coming up to her wedding with Prince Harry, Meghan’s 2016 article for Elle Magazine resonated much of what her future battle within the royal institution will be. The ex-actress wrote a heartfelt article on Elle about her one-week trip to Rwanda, wherein she discussed the projects she was involved in as well as her work ethic.
Meghan Markle wrote on Elle, “I've never wanted to be a lady who lunches; I've always wanted to be a woman who works.” This particular line resonates with her ideal life, the royal family was not for her. Friends of Meghan said that the Duchess believes she could finally have a voice when she joined the royal firm.
Instead, the Duchess was barely seen and heard in functions and engagements, the opportunity of a royal was far more limited than being a private citizen. When it was obvious that there was an unfair advantage given to Prince William and Kate Middleton compared to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the latter couple decidedly want out.
Meghan and Harry announced their exit from the royal family last January 2020, a surprise for the institution that expected the two to stick around for much longer. Now, that they have left the royal firm, both Harry and Meghan have been thriving in their own way.
They have paved a new life for them with far more opportunities that they could have had if they stayed with the royal family. Harry and Meghan have aims to use their popularity for good deeds, for spreading awareness on themes close to their heart.
The couple has moved to California permanently with no solid plans to return to the UK. Meghan Markle, especially has transparently said that she was glad to be home.
