In recent news, Meghan Markle has reportedly expressed deep dissatisfaction with the royal family over what she perceives as “double standards” in their treatment of her husband, Prince Harry. Despite the outward appearances of smiles and unity, Meghan has been harboring intense emotions about the situation.
Like it or not, the Duchess of Sussex has quickly risen to become one of the world’s most-watched women, and one of the most divisive.
Royal fans love to fawn over Duchess Meghan’s stunning outfits, the adorable photos of her gorgeous son, baby Archie, and cannot get enough of her incredible love story with Prince Harry, and how much the couple still clearly adore each other.
But while the 39-year-old mother enjoyed several years of overwhelming public support, since joining the royal family, the tide has turned against her.
The 39-year-old former Suits actress can no longer escape the intense public backlash towards her every move, as well as the frosty reception she has also received from inside the royal family itself.
And now the debate has escalated, following her and husband Prince Harry’s decision to “step back” from their senior royal duties and split their time between the UK and the US. The pair now reside in Santa Barbara California, where they’ll soon welcome a second addition to their brood.
But how did this happen? How did the most adored woman in the world become the subject of such vicious tabloid chatter?
Here’s a timeline explaining exactly what has transpired over the years.
