I don’t think she ever intended to be a full time “working royal”.
Shes nearly 40 for goodness sakes and has lived her whole life a free and independent woman who had a great time and did exactly as she wished. How on earth could she suddenly conform to that level of absurd formality, chock full of reams and reams of protocol every minute of every day.
Talk about a micro managed life.
That’s why they like to get them young so they can train them up! That - or marry people who’ve grown up around the court of St. James (why’s it called that btw?) - such as Diana and Fergie. Both of whom literally lived on Royal estates as kids. They knew the form.
But the most intolerable thing for Megan is she’s absolutely not allowed to have an opinion, or at least not make them public.
Harrys fairly easy on the eye, seems a nice guy and has a Bob or two. She’s got the title...why on earth would she want to put herself through that for a country she has absolutely zero connection to. However she should have made that plain from the start - and not make a fool of the Queen and insinuate she’s racist, which couldn’t be further from the truth. All new royal wives go through hell. In fact all royal women. Princess Ann suffered endless abuse in the 70s. Fergie in the 80s, too. Doesn’t make it ok, mind you.
I don’t blame her for leaving, but one thing does really annoy me, though, is they both bang on hypocritically about mental health. Yet, she’s deserted and shunned her obviously mentally ill father who both raised her (as a single parent from age 11) and put her through private school and uni.
