While there isn’t quite enough room here to detail all that has transpired since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s marriage a little over six years ago, one thing is certain: they have created headlines.
The Sussexes started dating in 2016 and left the royal life behind less than two years after being married. They also gained a significant amount of money by speaking out about their experiences and making numerous unsettling claims about other members of the Royal Family.
One of the most startling disclosures made during Meghan and Harry’s notorious Oprah interview was the bombshell accusation that a member of the British royalty had asked about the possible racial color of Meghan’s son Archie before he was even conceived.
Prince Harry believed that his then-girlfriend had been the subject of racial remarks by the British paparazzi soon after they began dating. The Duke was ready for Meghan to leave him, according to one royal expert, who believes he was prepared for the worst. The connection between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle started in 2016 with an open one-hour date in London.
Harry, William, and Kate’s representative, Kensington communications secretary Kasom Knauf, released an uncommon statement endorsing Meghan. “Meghan Markle has experienced a surge of mistreatment and intimidation,” the statement stated.
“A portion of these have been highly visible—the defamation on a national newspaper’s front page; the racial overtones of commentary pieces; and the overt sexism and racism of social media trolls and online article comments.” Harry talked about the significance of standing up for Meghan in his book Spare.
“I showed the essay to Jason (Knauf, the former communications secretary for Kensington Palace), and he instantly advised that we change our direction. There will be no more discussion or debate. We had a draft in less than a day. robust, exact, irate, and truthful. Though perhaps the beginning of the end, I didn’t think it would be the end.
Harry went on to say that Prince William and King Charles were incensed at the statement. “My family launched a brand-new offensive in response to my statement. Prince William and King Charles, known as Pa and Willy, were enraged. They talked loudly over me. They both remarked that my statement made them appear horrible.
The Duke went on, “Why in the world? Because if their wives or girlfriends were being harassed, they would never make a statement on their behalf. We had to get a statement out there, and we had a draft in a day. tenacious, exact, irate, and truthful.”
