Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were reported to have returned to their royal duties on Tuesday after visiting the Canada House, the ambassador’s residence in London. This was thought to be a gesture to express their gratitude for the great hospitality extended to them after spending the holidays in Canada.
Their first public appearance in London yesterday also marked the end of their 6-week break that was approved by the Queen, however, it turned out that they have other plans and it is not about returning to the palace. On the afternoon of Jan. 8, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made an announcement that shocked the world and the Royal Family.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle revealed that they quit. They announced their intention of leaving the Royal Family by stating they are stepping back from being “Senior Royals.”
“After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution,” the duke and duchess announced on Jan. 8. “We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen.”
The duke and duchess further said that they will be traveling back and forth between the United Kingdom and North America to continue their duties to Her Majesty, the Commonwealth and their patronages. They also stated their plans to relaunch their careers so they can earn independently.
The couple’s sudden decision was met with disbelief and great disappointment. Ordinary people and even celebrities have slammed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on social media, calling them brats and sneaky. They also think that what they did was treachery and an act of backstabbing the Queen.
Most people lashed on Meghan Markle as they believe the former “Suits” actress caused this mess. They are saying that she destroyed the royal family and now she is pulling Prince Harry away from them too
Candace Owens, an author, criticized the couple’s decision. On social media, she suggested that she was right with her thoughts that Markle only wants fame.
“Three months ago I publicly stated that Meghan’s obvious play was to convince Prince Harry to quit his role and to instead step into the A-list Hollywood life that she’s always wanted,” she tweeted. “Meghan never wanted to be royal. She has always wanted fame. Mission accomplished.”
Finally, a royal source said that this is very unfair to the Queen “who doesn’t deserve to be treated this way.” He described it as a sloppy way to treat Her Majesty, adding that the people are devastated.
