Prince Harry and Meghan Markle: Controversies' favourite children?
Ever since Prince Harry and Meghan Markle got married in 2018, the couple have hogged the limelight. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex never fail to make the headlines, be it because of their public or private life. Here we list some such incidents through which Harry and Meghan (unintentionally) stirred up controversies, thus shocking not just the Royal family but also the whole world:
When they quit their position as senior members of the British Royal family
Back in 2020, when Britain was dealing with the issue of Brexit and the world was locked down due to the Coronavirus pandemic, Harry and Meghan shocked everyone by announcing their exit from the Royal family. Prince Harry and Meghan decided to quit as senior members of the royal family and instead have an independent and quiet life in the USA. It's been five years since then but Harry and Meghan still continue to make the headlines.
When they gave a bombshell interview to Oprah Winfrey
After quitting their royal life, Harry and Meghan gave a bombshell interview to Oprah Winfrey in 2021 that shocked the royal family. In the interview, Meghan and Harry accused the royal family of many things, including racism, though they didn't take names. The interview was shocking to the world as well, as it was the first time Harry and Meghan had publicly spoken up against the British monarchy. Two days after the interview, Buckingham Palace released a statement on behalf of Queen Elizabeth II denying the couple's accusations about racisms. The Queen had further said that "some recollections may vary", which was a subtle hint at her disagreement to their their version of reality.
Meghan Markle's new twerking video: Oh no!
On the occasion of their daughter Lilibet's fourth birthday, Meghan Markle released an old video on Instagram. In the video, Meghan and Harry are seen dancing at the hospital, which appears to be moments before she gave birth. However, the video has received mixed reactions from people. While some have liked Meghan and Harry's never-seen-before fun moment, others have questioned their "need for privacy" and the grace (or rather lack of) shown by the royal couple.
Wish to retain their children's HRH titles
While Harry and Meghan stepped down from their royal duties and had an agreement with the late Queen Elizabeth II for not using their HRH (His/ Her Royal Highness) titles for commercial purposes, the couple seems to take a U-turn when it comes to their kids-- Archie and Lilibet. According to a recent report by The Guardian, Harry wishes to have the HRH titles for his children as he wants them to choose whether they want to work as royals or not as adults. Wait, what?
When Prince Harry said he would like to reconcile with his father, King Charles III
After all the accusations and Royal drama, Prince Harry in an interview to the BBC this year, said that he still wishes to reconcile with his father, King Charles III. Now, that sounds weird, doesn't it?
