Meghan Markle is now the mother of two healthy children - and has escaped the pressure of the British royal family.
It also had an effect on having children.
London - The time during which Meghan Markle first appeared at Prince Harry's side, up to the wedding and the birth of the first child, is like the blink of an eye.
In June 2016, the American actress met the royal Harry, less than two years later, the two tied the knot on May 19, 2018.
And again only around twelve months later, Meghan gave birth to her first son Archie.
This impressive pace was by no means only due to the young love.
Harry and especially Meghan were under a lot of pressure.
Meghan Markle: her historic duty to be a mother
In the ZDF documentary “Royale Wives”, historian and journalist Piers Brendon says: “The dynasty needs heirs, that's their business.” The immense pressure to become a princess mother has historical origins, as historian David Starkey reports: “The whole The history of England is overshadowed by the childlessness of Henry VIII's wife. ”If a princess cannot give birth to an heir, it is simply a“ nightmare ”for the royal family and the entire country.

Meghan Markle's biological clock was ticking
It was not only for historical reasons that there was a need to be in a hurry to procreate a descendant.
Biological aspects also apparently played a role with Meghan and Harry.
With her 36 years at the wedding, Meghan was already an advanced age - her biological clock was ticking.
Today the 40-year-old is the proud mother of two healthy children: Archie and Lilibet.
She has thus fulfilled her task as a princess to give birth to descendants - but is that still important to her?
With the "Megxit", the separation of the couple from the Queen and the entire royal family, she has evaded the royal pressure.
