Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s approach toward the British royal family was a “damaging strategy,” according to a royal commentator. The couple tied the knot in 2018. They announced their decision to step away as senior working members of the royal family two years later. This resulted in immense public scrutiny.
Expert suggests Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s behavior toward Royals is ‘damaging’
British royal expert Hilary Fordwich claimed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s mistakes resulted in their alienation from the royal family. She told Fox News Digital, “Harry and Meghan didn’t just make a silly mistake. They have undertaken a fundamentally damaging, deliberate strategy to undermine the royals, which is unforgivable.”
“The Firm was most welcoming to her, bent the rules for her, made exceptions for her, but she thwarted it all. She didn’t want to either learn or accept advice,” Fordwich added. “King Charles and Prince William now have a narrower, more disciplined monarchy as a result. Yes, things could have been very different if Meghan had been dedicated to duty and not to herself and her own aggrandizement.”
Meanwhile, British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard told the outlet that adapting to the British royal family quickly was what made one a successful member. She explained, “The House of Windsor may appear rigid, but it has run like clockwork and survived through history. The one thing people marrying into The Firm have to learn is to adapt. Both Princess Catherine and Meghan came in as outsiders. But one chose to learn the institution.”
Chard also insisted that despite being tough, the system tried to support Meghan Markle. She further said, “The system can’t save someone who won’t play ball. The institution expects sacrifice before platform. Harry himself also talked about leaving royal life for years. Meghan gave him that push. Better handling could have delayed it, but I don’t think it would have prevented it.”
