Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s relationship with the royal family has been fraught with tension. After their explosive Oprah interview, in which they made serious allegations against the royals, it seemed like there was no hope for reconciliation.
However, it was reported that King Charles reached out to Meghan after the interview, trying to help her in any way he could. He sent her a letter in response to her revelation that she had been suicidal while being a working royal. But according to rumors, Meghan was left disappointed by his reply, and it had a significant impact on a major decision.
Meghan’s Struggles as a Royal
Even before marrying Prince Harry in 2018, Meghan faced intense scrutiny and criticism from the British tabloids. In a 2019 ITV interview, she revealed that her British friends warned her about the media’s harsh treatment. She admitted that she naively didn’t fully understand the extent of it.
Meghan also shared that she tried to adopt the British sensibility of having a stiff upper lip, but it took a toll on her mental health. She believed that simply surviving wasn’t enough – she wanted to thrive and be happy.
A Grand Entrance on Her Own
On their wedding day, King Charles made a grand gesture to Meghan. Instead of walking her down the aisle, he offered to escort her, but Meghan surprised everyone by asking if they could meet halfway. She wanted to make her entrance into the chapel on her own, as a confident and independent woman.
Allegations of Racism
The tensions between the Sussexes and the royal family escalated after their Oprah interview. Meghan revealed disturbing conversations about Archie’s skin color within the palace, which deeply hurt her. She also spoke about the lack of support she received from the institution during her mental health struggles.
Meghan’s Letter to Charles
In response to the Oprah interview, Meghan decided to write a letter to Prince Charles, expressing her concerns about unconscious bias. She clarified that her intention was not to accuse the royal family of racism but to initiate a discussion on the topic.
Prince Charles, reportedly the only senior royal to reach out to Meghan after the interview, responded to her letter. Details of the letter are not known, but it is believed to have expressed his sadness over the family tensions.
Rumors and Speculations
Speculations arose about Meghan’s absence from King Charles’ coronation. Some believed that she stayed back in the US because she was disappointed with his response to her concerns. However, a spokesperson for Meghan dismissed these rumors as “ridiculous” and encouraged the media to stop creating an exhausting circus.
Moving Forward
The relationship between the Sussexes and the royal family remains strained. While some may question the actions and allegations made by Harry and Meghan, it is clear that their experiences within the royal family were deeply troubling.
