Meghan Markle’s Crossroads: Did She Choose Fame Over Royal Legacy?

In a thought-provoking segment titled “Muck of the Week” on GBNews, royal commentator Nana Akua delved into Meghan Markle’s behavior, asserting that it was remarkably different from that of the traditional royal family, even for an outsider who married into the prestigious institution.

Akua scrutinized Meghan and Harry’s recent Spotify split, referring to it as a “mutual dumping.” She further commented, “From what I can see, she sold everyone down the river. However, she failed to comprehend that when one becomes a royal, transitioning into a reality TV star is a significant step down.”

The royal commentator also expressed concerns about Prince Harry’s prospects, claiming that his candidness in the autobiography, “Spare,” was excessive and shed an unfavorable light on himself.

Since her marriage to Prince Harry in 2018, Meghan Markle has displayed a distinctive approach that sets her apart from others in the royal family. Whether intentional or not, she has shown a willingness to challenge traditional royal norms.

Some instances of Meghan’s divergence from protocol were relatively minor, such as wearing Dior to her son Archie’s christening instead of a British designer, as is customary for royal mothers. Additionally, the couple announced their son’s birth via Instagram, bypassing the traditional royal channels.

Meghan’s decision to celebrate Christmas at Sandringham before her marriage to Prince Harry was a significant departure from royal protocol. Even Kate Middleton did not have the privilege of spending the holiday season with Prince William when they were engaged.

Furthermore, the couple’s public displays of affection (PDA) went against royalist expectations. Meghan’s willingness to discuss her political beliefs also contradicted the royal family’s stance on neutrality.

Looking ahead, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle remain committed to fulfilling their obligations under their lucrative Netflix contract, reportedly valued at $100 million. Thus far, they have released two programs on the streaming platform.

Their first project, “Harry & Meghan,” which provided insight into their royal lives, garnered immense popularity. The couple’s second endeavor, “Live to Lead,” featured interviews with notable figures such as Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Gloria Steinem.

Coming up in August is a project highlighting Prince Harry’s organization, The Invictus Games. “Heart of Invictus” will follow the journeys of competitors who have experienced life-changing injuries in wartime as they prepare for the event.

In addition, reports from The Wall Street Journal suggest that the couple is set to produce a television series based on the Charles Dickens character Miss Havisham from the novel “Great Expectations,” entitled “Bad Manners.”

While no further details about future partnerships with other companies have been released, Meghan signed with the WME agency in April, as reported by Deadline.

As Meghan Markle continues to redefine her role within the royal family and explore new avenues in the entertainment industry, her journey promises to captivate audiences and challenge conventional expectations. The world eagerly awaits their next ventures and the impact they will make on society.
