This is why Meghan and Harry were apparently jealous of William and Kate
In the months since the now infamous "Megxit," there has been much speculation about why Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were forced to give up their duties as members of the royal family in favor of a life of independence in Los Angeles. Now, a new book by two journalists focused entirely on the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's break from the rest of the royalty is providing an in-depth look at what happened behind the scenes, and revealing shocking information on how Prince William and Kate Middleton played a bigger role than anyone could have imagined.
In recently released excerpts from the upcoming Seeking Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family, scheduled for publication in August 2020, authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand cite anonymous sources with direct access to the events in court. real. Experts say that jealousy played a major role in Harry and Meghan's decision to cut ties with the Windsors. But were Harry and Meghan really jealous of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge? And if so, what were they jealous of? We'll see.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle felt frozen
According to The Daily Mail, Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand's New Revelation Finding Freedom argues that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's life before "Megxit" was fraught with confusion. There was also apparently mounting pressure and a completely unfair burden on Prince William and Kate Middleton, as the elderly couple faced far less scrutiny both within and outside the confines of real life.
Although neither Harry nor Meghan were interviewed by Fighting for Freedom, a "large" number of court experts and friends of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex contributed to the biographical exhibit. Ultimately, most of them came to a similar conclusion: Harry and Meghan felt "unprotected" by those around them, and William and Kate were among the most prominent in closing ranks and "freezing" the couple.
The alleged mistreatment of Harry and Meghan, in particular, was apparently propagated by William and Kate. Whether intentionally or not, the Sussexes felt they were very happy to benefit from the couple's lack of popularity. As the Daily Mail summarized, Finding Freedom states that in the days leading up to "Megxit," the couple were "frustrated that William and Kate got the best official roles, and they felt 'adrift' from the royal family and the courtiers 'vipers' ».
The other royals reportedly did nothing to defend Prince Harry and Meghan.
Adding insult to injury, Prince Harry apparently felt that the projects he collaborated on with his wife Meghan Markle, most of which were philanthropic in nature, received a 'back seat' to those led by Prince William and Father Prince Charles. But according to Finding Freedom, however, the additional slights against the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were even worse, and more dangerously insidious.
According to journalists Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand (via The Daily Mail), tensions inadvertently rose between the royal family and Meghan and Harry due to the behavior of 'individuals who would like to take a look at how they see the world', or in other words, as the authors implied, racism and racist attitudes. The lack of repercussion for those who perpetuated these behaviors led Meghan to confess to her confidants within the royal sphere that she felt she gave him "her entire life for this family," only to be faced with abuse and hostility.
Prince Harry and Meghan felt practically ignored by Prince William and Kate
Although it is not apparent whether Prince William or Kate Middleton engaged in any of these racism-driven behaviors alluded to by Carolyn Durand and Omid Scobie in excerpts from their book Finding Freedom, apparently nothing was helped by William or Kate's handling. of the situation in general. In fact, the book suggests that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's decision to choose to side with the family, rather than defend Harry or Meghan, only intensified feelings of jealousy and anger at perceived favoritism. This also added to increasingly apparent feelings of isolation for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
According to Scobie and Durand (via The Daily Mail), things came to a head in the last royal event in which both couples participated in March at Westminster Abbey, in which William "barely recognized" The couple and Kate went so far as to refuse to make eye contact with their sister ley. (Although 'Meghan tried to make eye contact with Kate', in an attempt to show signs of wanting to repair her rift at the time, 'the duchess hardly recognized her').
Now that Harry and Meghan have officially renounced their royal duties, it appears their estrangement from William and Kate shows no signs of fading anytime soon, and if the accounts found in Finding Freedom are truly accurate, it is. pretty evident that Meghan and Harry's feelings about it could be perfectly justified.
