Prince Harry's Mistake: Bid To Protect Meghan Markle Cost Him To Lose Close Relationship With Father
The whirlwind love affair between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle was a media frenzy. Two seemingly unlikely people to ever end up together were now so madly in love with each other that it became such an interesting story to follow.
But although it might seem that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s relationship was perfect, it was not. The Prince and Meghan were struggling with the media, there was more hateful tabloid news about their relationship than they were any good.
The media attacking Meghan Markle relentlessly caused Harry to act in impulse. In a bid to protect her then-girlfriend and now wife, Meghan Markle, the prince was quick to release a statement to protect Meghan.
In a royal documentary entitled ‘Meghan and Harry: The New Revelations’, top royal experts commented on this particular action of Harry.
According to the royal experts, this has caused friction between the Prince and his very own father, Prince Charles, who at that time was in the middle of a Royal Tour.
“Prince Harry’s decision to write this statement himself and giving the family only 20 minutes notice that he was putting it out was absolutely catastrophic. It torpedoed Prince Charles’ tour of the Middle East, which went down like a lead balloon in the Palace,” Royal commentator, Russel Myers said.
The palace always makes sure that most of the engagements of each Royal should not overshadow each other. They have a way of protecting one from the other.
It has been claimed that the reason why the family stayed quiet on the many occasions wherein Meghan was being attacked by the media is that the Palace has strict protocols when it comes to protecting royal's popularity.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were becoming more and more the hot item of every newspaper and news television and this made other royals jealous.
When the Prince released his statement regarding the protection of Meghan from the media, Harry appeared to have overlooked the protocols imposed by the Palace regarding these matters.
Authors of the biography ‘Finding Freedom’ explained that the statement Harry released was probably the most personal statement one can get from a senior royal.
She continued that amongst the many themes of ‘Finding Freedom”, exploring the topic of jealousy within the family is one of the most important and interesting themes in the book. There was jealousy in the royal household over the level of fame Harry and Meghan were getting.
Prince Harry and Meghan’s decision to leave their Royal duties could have been caused by a multitude of negative media towards their relationship.
