Earlier this month, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry shocked the world with their announcement revealing that they are now stepping down as "Senior Royals." The official statement just came after their arrival in the United Kingdom from their six-week break from royal duties.
The family of three, including the Duchess' mother, Doria Ragland, spent the remaining days of 2019 in Canada. It was said to be the home of Meghan for seven years before officially becoming the Duchess of Sussex.
While the country, as well as its government and people, were reportedly glad to have the Sussex household in Canada during their holiday celebrations, the case is now different. As reported, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are "not welcome" to live in the said country.
According to the New York Post, Canada's so-called "biggest newspaper," The Globe and Mail published in a "scathing editorial" that the Duke and Duchess' plans of moving to the country as they stepped down as Senior Royals "violate" laws that keep the country at "arms-length" from the "mother monarchy." It breaks an "unspoken constitutional taboo," the editorial added.
It was also explained that they are welcome to visit Canada, just like what they did during the holiday season. However, migrating and living in the country, as long as they are Senior Royals, it "cannot be allowed."
It is worth noting that Meghan Markle's husband, Prince Harry is still the sixth person in line to the throne, and having him as a "royal resident" in Canada's "unique monarchy" is something that Justin Trudeau's government cannot allow, the publication continued.
As per Express UK, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's "vague and evolving plan" mainly includes stepping down from their royal titles, hence, from the being Senior Royals in the British Monarchy. Along with it, it was also said that the couple would "divide" their time between Los Angeles and Canada.
These plans do not sit well with most of the Canadian papers and publications for the very reason that "it stomps" on the identity of the country. So, it is not surprising why the simple answer of "no" to Meghan Markle and Prince Harry was given blatantly.
Several reports also noted that the "Megxit" scandal did not only cause a problematic dynamic to the papers and publications. But, it also became a massive dilemma to Queen Elizabeth II as per sources.
As it happened, it was claimed that the monarch released an official statement earlier this week stating that she, along with the rest of the Royal Family, "would have preferred" for the Sussex couple to "stay put" with their titles intact as well as their duties.
