A year has passed from the moment Meghan and Harry, Dukes of Sussex, announced their willingness to relinquish the duties and privileges of the British Royal Family. Will renamed by the whole world with the term “Megxit”, Because between the two the one who seemed to want greater independence – despite the renunciation of her Hollywood career in favor of noble titles – has always been Meghan Markle.
While waiting for the official review by Queen Elizabeth to be completed, there are many the difficulties that Meghan and Harry had to face in these 12 months: first the move to the United States, then the sudden one Meghan’s miscarriage and now also the loss of their trusted nanny, who given the global pandemic would have preferred to return to England rather than stay in Los Angeles with them. Alone on the other side of the world, Meghan and Harry would have realized how expensive freedom has cost.
It is recent too the farewell of the Dukes to social networks for too much hatred towards them through the media, and as if that were not enough for months Harry was portrayed as the Prince who, in order to follow his wife’s wishes, was forced to a series of renunciations including his military posts, losing a piece of the his identity and that safe haven that the Royal Family has always represented for him.
Despite the difficulties however, sources close to the couple speak of Meghan and Harry as “happy more than ever”, with signed millionaire contracts (like the one with Netflix) and their charity project that is now a reality, the Archwell Foundation:
Being where they are, having created an empire and a charity, shows how hard they worked to make this transition a success.
Said Omid Scobie, co-author of Finding Freedom, the book published in 2020 in which Harry and Meghan’s journey to freedom was told. After months, in fact, it is possible to read between the lines of their work: from the first day in the United States Meghan and Harry had clear their goal and got busy despite the numerous unexpected events, without forgetting to mend relationships: in fact at Christmas they exchanged gifts and messages of affection with the rest of the Royal Family, a clear sign that time will settle everything, even the differences that until a few months ago seemed insurmountable.
