Meghan Markle’s dissatisfaction with her lack of a political voice and the loss of her social media presence as a working royal has been a topic of discussion.
Royal correspondent Neil Sean revealed that Prince Harry attempted to clarify to Meghan that the royal family refrains from involvement in politics.
Members of the royal family are prohibited from voting or commenting on government matters, a rule that Meghan apparently found challenging, particularly with the removal of her social media accounts.
Meghan, who had a fondness for engaging with her followers online and maintained a blog called The Tig, faced the significant issue of being unable to express her political opinions.
According to a reliable source close to Prince Harry, Meghan’s desire for a political voice clashed with the royal protocol that dictates a separation between politics and royalty.
Sean shared these insights on his YouTube channel, as reported by Express.
Before officially becoming a senior royal member in 2018, Meghan, a mother of two, closed all her social media accounts despite forming strong connections with various charities and organizations during her time as a working royal.
Expressing her concerns about the negative impact of social media addiction, Meghan highlighted the addictive nature of social platforms and urged individuals to be mindful of their online interactions.
She emphasized the importance of understanding the echo chamber effect created by continuous engagement on social media.
Despite her personal choice to abstain from social media, Meghan and Harry have gradually begun to engage in political discussions through various channels.
The couple’s decision to reclaim their public voice was evident in their controversial interview with Oprah Winfrey several months ago.
Meghan’s recent appearance on Ellen DeGeneres’s show provided insights into her life before joining the royal family, shedding light on her experiences as an actress, her family life, and more.
According to Sean, the restrictions imposed on Meghan during her time as a senior royal member were particularly distressing for her, prompting her to seek avenues for activism and advocacy.
In a bid to pursue their passion for storytelling and advocacy, Harry and Meghan secured lucrative deals with Netflix and Spotify to produce content that informs, inspires, and sheds light on global issues and causes.
Despite initial promises of enabling Meghan to continue her charity work and make a difference, the couple’s exit from their senior royal roles, dubbed “Megxit,” was influenced by the realization that certain freedoms, including maintaining a social media presence, would not be granted.
An insider revealed to Us Weekly that the loss of her social media platforms deeply affected Meghan, who had always valued her independence and ability to connect with others through online channels.
The inability to express herself freely on social media was a significant blow to Meghan, who had relied on these platforms for personal and professional connections.
As she navigates her post-royal life, Meghan continues to advocate for causes close to her heart, leveraging various platforms to amplify her voice and make a positive impact on society.
