Meghan Markle And Prince Harry Moved To California To Ease Royal Problems: What Went Wrong?

Meghan Markle And Prince Harry Moved To California To Ease Royal Problems: What Went Wrong?When Prince Harry first met Meghan Markle, it seemed like a perfect romance. And their elaborate wedding, viewed around the world, sealed the deal. But then came rumors of trouble.

And Harry and Meghan abruptly stepped down from their royal family duties. But the Duke of Sussex and Duchess of Sussex reportedly thought that their exit and move to California would ease the royal rift. However, something went horribly wrong. Get the details below.

Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Watch Megxit Blow Up

Remember when the term Megxit sounded like a brilliant scheme? The phrase came into use after Meghan and Harry shared with Instagram their plans to step down as senior royals. And they vowed to alternate between North America and the United Kingdom. Going even further, the Duchess and Duke of Sussex explained they wanted to become financially independent. 

However, life quickly started to diverge from their dream. And one insider shared a possible reason with Us magazine. The Duchess and Duke of Sussex never talked privately with the rest of the royal family prior to Megxit. But the source insisted that Meghan and Harry did not deliberately ignore the Queen, calling it a communication error.

As a result, the Palace issued a statement in response. “Discussions with The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are at an early stage,” announced the Palace. “We understand their desire to take a different approach. But these are complicated issues that will take time to work through.” And it all soon proved more difficult than anyone imagined.

Meghan Markle And Prince Harry Hurt William And Kate

Because of the lack of communication prior to Megxit, the wounds quickly appeared. For instance, Prince Harry reportedly hurt his brother Prince William in a way that never healed. And an insider described William as “blindsided by Harry and Meghan’s decision and statement. William is incredibly hurt,” noted the source. “But at the same time he has his own family to focus on and is trying to move forward with his life.”

And William’s wife Kate Middleton felt just as wounded. “William’s done everything in his power to help his brother over the years and feels totally let down by his ‘reckless’ and ‘selfish’ actions. The way he sees it, Harry’s thrown all the good advice he gave him back in his face,” revealed another insider. “When Harry was feeling low or had problems, William was always there for him, as was Kate. Kate’s incredibly hurt too. She acted as a mentor to Harry before Meghan came into the picture and hates seeing her husband so upset.”

Meghan and Harry reportedly thought time and distance would heal everything. But their comfortable life in their California mansion along with time passing doesn’t seem to make a difference.  As a result, Meghan and Harry face a major challenge in trying to make peace with the royal family. And that seems especially true of their relationship with Kate and William.

      They came over here to the United States wanting a “quiet life” but instead have done everything to be in the spotlight and in the papers good or bad. They want to be treated like royalty over here and we simply don’t do that. Harry needs to go back to the UK and give Meghan a choice to go with and work with people or stay here and be divorced for a what is it, 3? 4? Personally, I’d love to see them go.

      No decent people like to watch something on a collision course. You could see it coming with Diana, William and Harry’s mother. I was only young at the time but still had this overwhelming feeling of coming tragedy and disaster. I don’t like Harry’s attitude or behavior, however I don’t want to see him self destruct. I always tend to leave Meghan out of my comments because I feel he is a grown man, his choices and how he treats his family and his country is on him and him alone. No one could make me slander my family or my countries, not my husband or anyone else. Meghan might have her say but Harry should know better. It’s disturbing for me to watch Harry on this course.

      Harry has shown his true colors and megan has only brought out those colors to the forefront. They never did intend to represent the monarchy and were only looking for ways to make more money. They’re despicable for treating their families the way they have done. Yes, I’m sure we all have problems with our families, but the one thing you don’t do is tell the world about them on Oprah!

      I rather think that Harry is making a good decision to go his own way. History shows that other siblings often have difficulty adjusting. Margaret, Andrew, and others in earlier history. Harry should turn to his Uncle Edward who has made a name for himself out among “real” people. If he wants to stay in the US, then he needs to become “Mr Windsor.”
