The Breaking Point
Media Pressure
The constant media harassment took a toll on Harry and Meghan’s mental health. They felt trapped in a toxic environment that mirrored the experiences of Princess Diana. This relentless scrutiny and lack of support from the palace became unbearable, pushing the couple to seek a way out and reconsider their roles within the royal family.
The Decision to Step Back
In early 2020, Harry and Meghan announced their decision to step back as senior members of the royal family. This move, dubbed “Megxit” by the press, shocked the world and highlighted the deep rifts within the royal household. Their departure was a bid for freedom and a desire to carve out a more private, autonomous life away from royal obligations.
A New Chapter in America
Relocating to California
After stepping down from their royal duties, Harry and Meghan relocated to California. This move symbolized a fresh start, away from the constant scrutiny of the British media. In America, they sought to build a life focused on philanthropy, media ventures, and raising their family in a more supportive and private environment.
Financial Independence
One of the couple’s key goals was achieving financial independence. They signed lucrative deals with streaming services like Netflix and Spotify, allowing them to fund their new lifestyle. This financial freedom was essential for their autonomy and ability to pursue projects aligned with their values and passions without relying on royal finances.
