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.
