Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s departure from the royal family sent shockwaves, with explosive accusations aired in interviews and Harry’s book “Spare.” Meghan disclosed her struggles with mental health and revealed a rare neurological disorder called stiff-person syndrome.
Despite Charles’s attempts to support Meghan, tensions persist. Meghan’s friends had warned her about media scrutiny before marrying Harry. In their 2018 wedding, Charles offered to walk Meghan down the aisle, but she opted to make a solo entrance.
The relationship soured further after the Oprah interview, where Meghan disclosed concerns about Archie’s skin color. While Harry attended King Charles’s coronation, Meghan stayed in the US. Speculations arose about her absence related to a letter she sent to Charles, expressing disappointment over his response to her concerns.
However, Meghan’s spokesperson dismissed these rumors as “ridiculous.” In addressing allegations of racism, Harry distinguished between unconscious bias and racism, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging and learning from bias.
Despite attempts at reconciliation, the rift between the Sussexes and the royal family persists.
