Before Meghan Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, decided to step down from royal duties, King Charles, who was then Prince, extended a “rare honour” to her, a royal commentator revealed.
The BBC’s royal correspondent, Micheal Cole shared with GBN America insights about how it went “so badly wrong” for Ms. Markle and how putting it all together is “really hard.”
“It’s really hard to puzzle where it all went so badly wrong. She could not have been welcomed more into this country or the Royal Family,” he said on GBN America.
Cole further highlighted the complexities of Meghan’s relationship with her family, especially her father.
“It was a rare honour when the King offered to walk her down the aisle because her father, Thomas, is estranged from her, as are most members of her family. That was a great honour, and the late Queen went out of her way to make a friend of Doria, her mother,” he explained.
In 2020, Meghan and Harry announced their decision to relinquish their royal roles, subsequently moving to the United States with their two children. Since then, their relationship with the royal household has reportedly changed, with various reports emerging about their situation.
In a significant move in April, Prince Harry renounced his British residency, opting for the United States as his new permanent home, according to documents filed with Travalyst, the sustainable travel initiative he launched in 2019. This announcement was Harry’s first public statement following the news of his sister-in-law, Kate Middleton’s, cancer diagnosis. This shift was officially recorded in filings at Companies House, where Harry’s “New Country/State Usually Resident” was updated to the USA, from the prior UK designation.
