Why does Meghan Markle not like many English people and neither does Queen Elizabeth anymore?
For many it is manipulative and unworthy and for others it is just a victim of unfair criticism
Meghan Markle and her husband Prince Henry (or Harry), better known as Harry, have been on everyone's lips since the couple decided to abandon their role in the English monarchy. This will cause them to lose their royal highness title from the spring of this year and stop being financed by the crown, which is currently their main source of income.
This controversial decision in the British Isles (not Brexit, but almost) has made rivers of ink flow and has focused on the "weakest" element in the equation: Meghan Markle, who for many is the woman who he handles Harry as if he were a puppet, while for others he has only been the victim of continuous harassment by the press since his courtship with the second son of Charles of England became official.
Meghan's past
Despite the fact that the monarchies that still remain in the world - as is the case of the Spanish - should always be an example of good customs, in recent decades this situation has changed ostensibly: from princesses who do not have an aristocratic past, to divorces and extramarital affairs, going through financial scandals.
So it was not surprising that Harry had fallen in love with a "commoner" and wanted to make her the woman of his life. However, the more traditional English and many media outlets did not like that Meghan was not a replica of the beloved Kate Middleton, the wife of her brother William (or William).
Not english
First of all, Meghan was not British, but was born in Los Angeles (United States) and was the daughter of a social worker and yoga instructor and a cinematographer.
She's an actress
Her father's work in the world of cinema ended up causing Meghan to end up being part of it. Of course, it took her a long time to achieve some success, which did not come until her participation in the series Suits. However, the low quality of the film products in which he has participated did not cause criticism.
She is divorced!
This was a difficult obstacle to overcome. Not only was she not English, but she was also married between 2011 and 2013 to Trevor Engelson, a film producer with whom she began dating in 2004. The criticisms of this situation were immediate.
African American origin
Another problem that Markle has had to face is that her mother is African-American, which raised blisters in the most reactionary sectors of British society. In fact, racism has been implicit in many of the attacks that the ex-actress has received since she began her relationship with Harry.
In this sense, Jo Marney, wife of Henry Bolton, leader of the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP), came to expose in messages that would later be filtered that Meghan Markle was a black American who would stain the British Royal House with her seed. He also called her a stupid commoner.
To this is added that both spouses were chosen to carry out the tour of the British monarchy through the countries of South Africa, a decision that many saw with racist overtones since it appealed to the racial origin of Markle.
Meghan doesn't help
Despite the continuous attacks that the former Duchess of Sussex received, some of the decisions she has made have not helped her to be better seen by the British. One of the highlights was not presenting her first and only son, born on May 6, 2019, in society (before the press) and simply breaking the news via social networks. The reasons were not to expose it from the beginning to public life, which ended a common tradition in this monarchy, in which all subjects feel part of it.
In addition, despite his activism for the environment or to help eradicate poverty, he has not minded spending large amounts of money on some events related to his new social position or choosing a private jet for his baby shower, or birthday party. baby.
Critics
If Harry's wife was already exposed to constant scrutiny from the beginning (they rummaged through her trash for things to attack her with), the unfriendly statements from people who have been in contact with her and who They called her a diva, they ended up helping the detractors to blame her for everything that has happened with the resignation to be part of the royal family. Of course, for these she is entirely to blame as she is capable of manipulating Henry, whom many present as a coward.
And the Queen?
Beyond so much attack, it seems that Queen Elizabeth II felt upset that she had not been consulted before making the decision to leave the Royal House. However, the long-lived monarch has already shown a certain distance from the couple when in the traditional Christmas speech they did not appear in the photographs that usually occupy her desk during the message, so that the situation should already be tense before the announcement on January 8.
Harry speaks
On January 20, Harry finally came to the fore to explain why he was resigning. In his speech he was conciliatory, grateful and sure that they were making the best decision. “I also know that they have gotten to know me well enough over all these years to trust that the woman I chose as my wife upholds the same values as me, and she does. She is the same woman that I fell in love with. We both do everything to proudly fulfill our roles in this country, "he said, referring to Meghan Markle.
The story is not over, as it seems that much will still be written about the couple and, of course, about the actress who bec
ame duchess and who renounced this title with her husband.
