When the couple tied the knot, practically the whole world was in love with them.
The wedding was watched by millions, and the media painted their union as one that showcased royal modernity.
Unfortunately, the positive headlines didn’t last long.
Other headlines were downright ridiculous.
Looking back, it’s no wonder the couple decided to take a step back from royal life.
Sadly, stepping back eventually turned into stepping down, as the media storm continued to rage.
Thank goodness I’m not completely cut off from reality," Harry said.
The prince also admitted to having no desire to become king one day.
“Is there any one of the royal family who wants to be king or queen?
It was a place he could showcase his skills and where no one cared about his royal title.
Meghan was also eager to continue advocating for important matters she believed in.
The decision was made by Queen Elizabeth II and then-Prince Charles.
This effectively split the royal household in two, and it raised a few eyebrows.
English added that Harry didn’t want to raise his children as publicly as Prince William had.
The account garnered over three million followers in just a few days, showcasing the couple’s popularity.
The feud reportedly started when William told Harry not to rush into things with Meghan.
The tension extended to Meghan and Princess Catherine, who reportedly disagreed on various occasions.
The feud reached a tearful end when they had a disagreement about flower girl dresses for Meghan’s wedding.
She’s always been able to clap back on social media and now she can’t.”
She also thanked Bradby for his concern.
The ceremony was held at the queen’s private chapel with only about 25 guests in attendance.
“It was just very, very low-key,” a Windsor source toldPeople.
Another insider added that Meghan and Harry were determined to do things their way.
It’s that simple," the source told the outlet.
In another break with tradition, Harry and Meghan also kept Archie’s godparents private.
Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams toldInsiderat the time that it was a bad PR move.
Even then the prince knew he didn’t want his son to grow up the way he had.
William is the future king and so is sometimes restricted in what he can do."
Nonetheless, the split left many disappointed.
A royal source told theDaily Mailthat the couple was skipping the family gathering because they needed some space.
Clearly, something was amiss.
Royal biographer Phil Dampier added that Meghan and Harry’s decision was “very telling and worrying.”
Instead, Meghan reserved the cover for various women she admired.
There’s no denying that Meghan did impactful work as a guest editor.
The announcement also revealed that they planned to spend some of their time in North America.
Royal correspondent Jonny Daymond toldBBCthat palace officials were disappointed by the couple’s decision.
He announced that they would be taking legal action against some outlets that published harmful stories.
“[I]t destroys people and destroys lives,” the statement read.
Of course, almost everyone was skeptical about the Sussexes leaving the country.
The decision was largely based on escaping the British press.
Instead, they made the move to the U.S., where they still reside.
