Since her relationship with Prince Harry began, Meghan Markle has captured the world’s attention. Leaving Hollywood behind, she embarked on a journey that would lead her to become a member of the British royal family. However, this transition was not without its challenges.

Introduced in 2016 by a mutual friend who saw their potential, Meghan and Harry’s connection was undeniable. The actress, already known in the industry, suddenly found herself in the midst of a worldwide fascination. The pair’s engagement in a relatively short amount of time only fueled the intrigue.

In May 2018, their much-anticipated wedding took place, and shortly after, they announced that they were expecting their first child. As Meghan prepared to join the royal family, she faced unique obstacles. Not only would she adapt to an entirely different lifestyle, but she would also have to contend with the scrutiny and prejudice that came with being a black actress from America.

The media’s relentless attacks on Meghan reached such a peak that Kensington Palace had to intervene, urging them to ease off. Eventually, the couple made the courageous decision to step back from their royal duties and leave England. They sought a quieter life for their son and aimed to become financially independent while upholding their support for Queen Elizabeth II.

“This geographic balance,” they wrote, “will enable us to raise our son with an appreciation for the royal tradition into which he was born, while also providing our family with the space to focus on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity.”

This revelation surprised many, with some questioning Meghan’s influence on Harry’s choices. Since their departure from the royal family, life for the couple has indeed become more peaceful. Meghan recently revealed that she had been keeping a diary since the beginning of their relationship, a treasure trove of memories and experiences.

While it would undoubtedly be a bestseller, Meghan understands the delicacy of sharing such personal stories when it involves the royal family. The decisions she made during her time as a royal might not have always been perfect. For instance, she announced their pregnancy at Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank’s wedding, unintentionally stealing their thunder. Even Harry himself was taken aback by Meghan’s spontaneous reveal.

However, amid the judgment and scrutiny, it is essential to remember that no one is a “target” deserving of such harsh treatment. Meghan’s journey has been filled with ups and downs, and despite the challenges, she remains committed to carving out her own path.
