Meghan Markle and Harry upset: this subliminal message to the royal family
In her first children's book, Meghan Markle highlights the reunion of a military father with his son. One way to subtly evoke the suppressed feelings of her husband, according to an expert on English royalty.
It was the announcement that surprised everyone at the start of May. This is the release of Meghan Markle's first children's book. Entitled The Bench, it will be published on June 8. This Wednesday, May 5, The Sun revealed that journalist Phil Dampier, who specializes in the British royal family, believes that the Duchess of Sussex is using her new book to evoke the "upheaval" of Prince Harry concerning the withdrawal of his military titles. In one of the illustrations unveiled in preview, we see, in fact, a little red-haired boy carried in his father's arms, wearing a khaki outfit with camouflage patterns.
According to the speaker of our colleagues, the father of little Archie would keep a "bitter" feeling vis-à-vis his obligation to resign from his former post of captain general of the Royal Marines, following his departure to the United States. with her family. Thus, his wife's book would serve as a subtle reminder of "how much the army meant to Harry." As a reminder, Prince William's brother served twice in Afghanistan with the armed force of the Blues and Royales and a total of ten years in the military. To The Sun, Phil Dampier claimed that "the illustration of a red-haired soldier hugging his little boy makes it look like he has returned from the war after many years." In the drawing in question, we can notice, in the background, the little mother watching the scene at the window, from inside the house. In tears, she reveals her emotion at her husband's love for their child.
A prince "wounded" by the Queen's decision
"This is a scenario familiar to many conflicting military couples. But of course, it was not a reality for Harry, who was in another relationship while serving in Afghanistan," the specialist added. of English royalty. Meghan Markle's book would therefore be a medium for the young mother to express her husband's feelings about the consequences of Megxit. During the interview that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex granted to Oprah Winfrey, Prince Harry had also claimed to have been "wounded" by the decision of the Queen of England, to withdraw her military titles, even if he said "fully respect" his choice.
