As all the world seems to be obsessed with Prince Harry and his wife, I decided to add my two-cents worth of opinion. Like most of the world, I was shocked when the royal couple decided a year ago to make a drastic change in their lives. What was so bad about being a “senior royal” that they sought such a change? After all, Meghan was living the life that every little girl who dreams of – growing up and marrying a prince!
None of us know the details or
circumstances of the royal family. I doubt that even those who are involved in
the situation know what really happened. It is common knowledge that two people
can grow up in the same home, with the same parents, and the same basic life
situation and still be complete opposites. We are all individuals who see,
hear, and feel things in our own individual way.
Having noted that people are all individuals,
it is time to get down to my own thoughts. I believe that Harry – and Meghan to
a lesser degree – are much at fault for the entire situation. Harry was well
aware of the situation that his future wife would live. If he did not like it,
he should have done something to make it different instead of rushing into
marriage. William and Harry went through the same experience of losing their mother,
Princess Diana. They both knew of the difficulties that she faced with the
media chasing her and her children. Yet, they dealt with their experience and
knowledge in different ways.
William dated Catherine for ten years
before they married because he wanted to be sure that Kate knew what she would
face as his wife. As a result, Kate was prepared and ready. Harry did not give
Meghan much time to become accustomed to the royal way of life. The couple dated
for about fifteen months before Harry popped the question, and they married a
few months later. As far as Meghan is concerned, what did she expect? Did she
think that she was just going to waltz into the British royal family and not
have to make changes in her life? She should have done more research about the
royals and their way of life before she fell in love with Harry.
Prince Harry and Meghan claim that they
had to leave the royal family because the evil media was destroying them. They
could not handle all the media attention, but they thought nothing about doing
an interview with Oprah and exposing their story to all the world. Were they
thinking at all? Did they think that the interview would bring less media
attention?
I know only few bits of information about
the royal family life and the life of the Markle family. I do not know what was
said or what happened, what should have been said or happened, or what should
not have been said or not happened. However, I know that it is a bit odd for a
young couple to be estranged from both her family and his family.
These are the facts that I know. Meghan is
estranged from her white father, her white half-brother, and her white half-sister
as well as her white in-laws. However, she is on good terms with her black mother.
It is well known that Barack Obama related to the black side of his family more
than the white side. Is it the same with Meghan? Could it be that Meghan is the
racist, or is she trying to widen the racial divide?
Then there is the complaint that the royal
family cut off Prince Harry’s finances. He has been forced to provide for his
family from the $10 million that he inherited from Princess Diana. Most people
that I know would consider $10 million to be a good chunk of money and would
not be whining about having so little. Besides, Harry is a 33-year-old married
man expecting his family to continue to bankroll his way of life – when he has money
to provide for himself. Why?
Prince Harry and Meghan are upset that the
Queen has taken back titles, etc. What did Prince Harry and Meghan expect? Did
they expect to walk away from the “family business” – known as the Firm – and continue
to reap the benefits without any of the work? I do not know any family business
that shares the benefits with family members who are not working for the family
business. Why should the royal family share their money with spoiled brats who
did not want to be involved in the work?
In addition to all the above, Prince Harry
and Meghan Markle broke an important rule: It is wrong to air the family’s dirty
laundry in public. They were upset with members of the family, and the problem
should have been solved privately with the family. They should have gone to
those family members and solved the problem rather than go to the media. They were
disloyal to the family that they claim to love. In addition, I find it ironic
that Meghan was complaining about the way that she was treated, but she had no
qualms about saying terrible things in public about Kate and the rest of the
family.
As you can see, Prince Harry and Meghan
Markle cannot claim any sympathy from me. They sound like spoiled brats who “want
their cake and eat it too.” They want the benefits of being senior royals, but
they do not want the work and pressure of being senior royals. I do not know
what went on, but I do not see any legitimate reason for Prince Harry and Megan
to be acting the way that they do. If the family was doing some illegal, they
should go to the authorities. Otherwise, they should be working with the family
rather than throwing the entire royal family under the bus.
