THE HARRY AND MEGHAN MARKLE AD
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have decided to step down from their leading role in the British Royal Family. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex want to achieve economic independence and reside between Canada and the United Kingdom without anyone standing in their way. Of course, they wanted to clarify that they will continue to support the crown of England, that is, Elizabeth II.
“We intend to step back from our role as senior members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing our support for Her Majesty. We plan to balance our time between the UK and North America and continue to fulfill our duties to the Queen, the Commonwealth and the organizations of our patronage. This geographical balance will allow us to educate our son in appreciation of the royal tradition in which he was born, while at the same time providing space for our family to focus on a new chapter ”, the dukes have communicated.
They have made this decision after a short break in Canada and, they said, after much reflection and internal disputes. But why have they decided to separate from the crown?
Meghan Markle was not particularly comfortable with the formal events she was supposed to attend, so she would have convinced Harry to withdraw from public life.

THE RESPONSE OF QUEEN ELIZABETH II
Queen Elizabeth II did not take the announcement that Harry and Meghan decided to make public at all, so she also decided to make a statement to the press to give her opinion on the matter and to calm the people of England.
The monarch indicated that she understands Harry's decision, but that it is a complicated issue and that it takes time to organize the whole process: “The discussions with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are in a preliminary state. We understand your desire to start another path, but these are complicated issues that require time to be resolved, ”explained the Royal Family.
This has been another blow to Queen Elizabeth II, who recently suffered the Prince Andrew scandal over her relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

THE THREAT OF PRINCE CHARLES
Prince Charles, Harry's father, is also very angry with his son for having made such an important statement without consulting the British Royal Household. So much so that he has threatened to withdraw their salary.
By abandoning their position as front-line members of the Royal Family, Meghan and Harry would be giving up only 5% of income, which is the official annual monarchy from the State. However, the remaining 95% of the money they receive, and which they have not given up, comes from the funds of the Duchy of Cornwall, or what is the same, from the income of Prince Charles.
Prince Charles has made it clear that he will not write a “blank check” as his son and Meghan embark on a new life, especially since they can both work and earn their own income, something that they were not allowed to belong to. to the senior line.

MEGHA MARKLE, STRESSED AND PERSECUTED
Since her engagement to Prince Harry was announced, Meghan Markle has been haunted by the press, even during her pregnancy. That is why some old friends came to the defense of the Duchess of Sussex, such as George Clooney.
The actor defended his friend by assuring that Meghan was suffering a real persecution like the one that Lady Di already suffered. "She is a woman who is seven months pregnant and has been persecuted, vilified and persecuted in the same way that Diana was and her story repeats itself," she said seriously before Archie was born. "We have seen how that ends," he concluded.
Her friends also wanted to defend her and commented in ‘People’ magazine that many lies were being told about her. "It is wrong to put someone under this level of emotional trauma, much less when they are pregnant," they said.
It is precisely for this, and for other persecutions and insults, that Harry has decided to save her wife from the press and public life by renouncing her real rights.
