Meghan Markle, also known as the Duchess of Sussex, found herself at the center of controversy once again as Prince Harry mistakenly shared unedited photos of their children in the Royal Family’s group chat.
The pictures revealed that Archie and Lily did not possess the signature ginger hair and blue eyes associated with the Sussexes, causing a stir within the royal circle.
This incident reportedly occurred just before Lilibet’s birthday, leading to the family’s decision to overlook the celebration.
In the aftermath of the blunder, speculations arose that King Charles may request DNA results for Archie and Lilibet to determine their rightful place in the line of succession and royal titles.
The repercussions of Harry’s mistake have sent shockwaves through the monarchy, prompting discussions about the future of the Sussexes within the royal hierarchy.
Royal experts have hinted that this misstep could mark a turning point in the couple’s relationship with the Royal Family.
Adding fuel to the fire, Meghan Markle recently expressed concerns about unconscious bias within the Royal Family in a letter addressed to the King.
This communication followed her explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021, where she alleged that a senior member of the royal household had made derogatory remarks about her son’s skin tone.
While the identity of the individual in question remains undisclosed, suspicions point towards Prince Charles, although these claims have yet to be substantiated.
Moreover, filmmaker Liz Garbus shed light on the public perception surrounding Harry and Meghan, noting that Meghan has unfairly borne the brunt of criticism for the couple’s decisions.
Garbus emphasized that Harry’s tumultuous upbringing and his unresolved trauma regarding his mother’s tragic fate have played a significant role in shaping his current stance against the Royal Family.
The couple’s struggles have not gone unnoticed, with a recent poll indicating a sharp decline in Meghan’s favorability among the British public.
The survey conducted by YouGov revealed that a staggering 68% of respondents held a negative view of Meghan Markle, while only 21% expressed a positive opinion of Prince Harry’s wife.
This data marks a significant shift from previous years when Meghan’s public image was more favorable.
The downward trend in favorability reflects the challenges faced by the couple as they navigate their roles within the royal sphere amidst ongoing scrutiny and criticism.
