Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s relationship has been in the spotlight since the beginning. Their wedding was watched by over 29 million people, followed by the birth of their son Archie in 2019 and their decision to step down from royal duties, prompting a move to the US. The media, which they claim forced them out of the UK, has closely followed their every move.
Despite their commitment to service, Queen Elizabeth confirmed that stepping away from royal work meant they could not continue public service duties, though they remain loved family members. UK and international media criticized their choice, but Harry defended it during an Oprah interview, citing his mother’s history.
Meghan revealed they had asked to move to a Commonwealth country like South Africa or Canada but were denied, despite other royals being allowed similar arrangements. Initially, they planned a year-long break in Africa to escape tabloid pressure, but money and security issues halted the idea, according to author Valentine Low.
