The whole world rejoiced when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tied the knot last year. Despite being known as the “royal bad boy,” the younger brother of Prince William finally decided to settle down.
Royal fans are so protective of Prince William and Prince Harry as they are sons of Princess Diana, who was well-loved by the public. With that said, a lot of people want the best wife for the princes. Since the former "Suits" actress received a lot of scrutinies, it seemingly means that fans didn’t see her as the perfect choice for the Duke of Sussex.
In an ITV documentary called Harry & Meghan: An African Journey, Meghan Markle shared that it was tough for her to deal with all the backlash that she was getting. The Duchess of Sussex, then, said she tried to adopt a British “stiff upper lip” to cope with the intense criticism that she faced since marrying Prince Harry.
“I really tried to adopt this British sensibility of a ‘stiff upper lip’—I really tried, but I think that what that does internally is probably really damaging,” Meghan Markle told ITV newsreader Tom Bradby.
The Duchess of Sussex also shared that things are certainly not easy. Unless that you had been in her shoes, Meghan Markle said that people had no idea what she was going through at all. She, then, revealed that her family is her main source of strength to get through the pain and hardships.
”You have no idea. It’s really hard to understand what it’s like,” she said. “I know what it seems like it should be. It’s a very different thing. That’s okay. The good thing is I’ve got my baby and I’ve got my husband and they’re the best."
Meanwhile, Prince Harry revealed, in the documentary, that he feared for his wife. Meghan Markle didn’t realize how much attention she would get after joining the royal family, which is why the Duke of Sussex wanted to protect her, fearing she would suffer the same fate as his late mother, Princess Diana.
As a result, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle decided to fight back by suing a couple of publications. The Duke of Sussex, then, released a lengthy rant online.
A lot of royal experts were shocked to know that Prince Harry released his statement on his own and not via Buckingham Palace. He also didn’t consult the senior royals, such as his father, Prince Charles, and even older brother Prince William, and royal advisers before releasing his statement online.
