They hadn't even told the queen. The decision of Prince Harry and his wife Meghan to withdraw from the monarchy set the UK in turmoil. It was via their Instagram account that the couple made this announcement. They had just come from several weeks in Canada. They celebrated Christmas there with their son Archie, born in May 2019, a year after their sumptuous marriage broadcast by televisions around the world.
The two spouses, who had expressed in recent months their difficulty in experiencing the media pressure related to their function, claim to have made this decision "after many months of discussions". They also say they want to become financially independent and live between the United Kingdom and Canada, where Meghan Markle is from.
"The pressure had become unbearable for Meghan, decrypts Stéphane Bern, presenter and specialist in royal families. At the same time, when you marry Prince Harry, you know that you are going to share your life with millions of people. ” The British press, and especially the tabloids, did not actually make gifts with the former actress of American series.
“The fact of withdrawing will not remove this media pressure, continues the expert of the crowned heads. It's not going to make them freer, it's an illusion. ”
