Romance among royals often seems like a fairytale, and this is especially true for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, whose whirlwind courtship and marriage captured the public\u2019s imagination. However, behind the glamorous facade, there were some doubts within the royal family about the longevity of their relationship, stemming from one specific aspect of Meghan\u2019s life.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Royal Family\u2019s Initial Doubts<\/h3>\n

These days, things between Harry and Meghan appear to have settled down after a bit of turbulence. They\u2019ve been happily married for about six years now and are raising two children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, in their sprawling home in Montecito, California. Despite the ongoing stream of damaging accusations\u2014particularly aimed at Meghan\u2014and persistent rumors, the Sussex family seems to be doing well.<\/p>\n

However, the skepticism about their relationship began long before the media got involved. According to Harry and Meghan in their controversial Netflix series, it started with the royal family, who made judgments based on stereotypes about Meghan.<\/p>\n

Harry recalled the first time Meghan met his family, sharing that they were initially \u201cincredibly impressed\u201d by her. In his trademark cheeky style, he joked that they were surprised a \u201cginger could land such a beautiful woman,\u201d noting that they were charmed by her intelligence and beauty.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

What Was the Issue?<\/h3>\n

So, what was the hang-up? It turns out the royal family didn\u2019t look kindly on the fact that Meghan was an \u201cAmerican actress.\u201d According to Harry, this was the main problem they had with her, overshadowing all the positive traits they admired. He noted that their immediate assumption was that their relationship wouldn\u2019t last: \u201cOh, she\u2019s an American actress; this won\u2019t last long.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meghan backed up Harry\u2019s recollections, explaining that there\u2019s a preconceived notion of what being an American actress means, especially from a British perspective. The stereotype isn\u2019t flattering, particularly in the context of the British royal family, which is known for its reserved nature and adherence to tradition.<\/p>\n

Of course, the couple has faced relentless scrutiny from the press, and their actions continue to raise eyebrows among royal insiders. A significant part of their livelihood relies on revealing controversial insights about royal life, which only fuels the fire of criticism. The scrutiny doesn\u2019t seem to let up, with former and current employees weighing in on whether Meghan really is a \u201cbully\u201d or a \u201cdictator\u201d toward those who work for her.<\/p>\n

While being part of a royal couple might seem like a dream come true, it\u2019s clear that there are some serious challenges and downsides to that fairytale life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
