Recent discussions have emerged surrounding Meghan Markle’s departure from the British royal family, with some royal insiders suggesting that the monarchy might have benefited from handling Meghan with more sensitivity. Labeling Meghan a “diva” may have overlooked the complexities of her situation, and some royal observers believe that more supportive measures might have led to a different outcome in her relationship with the royal family.
Sources close to the royal circle claim that Meghan’s experiences as an outsider trying to integrate into the tight-knit and traditionally bound family may not have been met with the understanding necessary to make her transition smooth. With Meghan’s background as an American actress accustomed to the freedoms of her career and public advocacy, she reportedly found the restrictive expectations of royal life to be particularly challenging. Her independent personality and modern approach to social issues, according to supporters, were largely misunderstood by both palace staff and certain family members.
While Meghan and Prince Harry’s exit from the royal family, known as “Megxit,” involved a number of factors, those close to the couple have said that the tensions might have been alleviated if Meghan had received more support in adjusting to royal duties. In interviews following their departure, both Meghan and Harry voiced concerns over mental health and feeling isolated, shedding light on what Meghan described as an “untenable” atmosphere.
For many of Meghan’s supporters, her so-called “diva” behavior reflected a strong-willed individual who was determined to use her platform in progressive ways, including advocacy for mental health, social justice, and women’s rights. These priorities, which contrasted with the monarchy’s typically reserved stance on public issues, led to cultural and personal clashes that heightened tensions on both sides.
Some royal experts argue that better “care” would have involved more guidance and an environment open to Meghan’s initiatives. Advocates believe that such an approach might have retained Meghan and Harry’s involvement in the royal fold in a way that honored both tradition and progress.
