Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have become constant targets of criticisms since they announced their romance in 2016. Things exacerbated after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex finally tied the knot in 2018 and ditched the royal life for good in 2020.
Interestingly, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry continue making it to the headlines even after they left Britain and flew off to the United States to live a more private life. As if that is not enough, they have also been plagued with numerous issues and controversies amid their strained relationship with the rest of the royal family.
Recently, BBC Two aired the second part of The Princes and the Press documentary, which analyzed the royal family’s chaotic past three years that has seen the arrival of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s first-born, Archie. Journalist Amol Rajan also explored the happenings before and after the Sussex pair announced their decision to step down as senior working royals. Keep on reading to know more details.
Meghan Markle And Prince Harry Broke Royal Protocol
One part of the The Princes and the Press documentary explained how Meghan Markle and Prince Harry broke a royal protocol after the birth of Archie. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex reportedly forged a photocall on the hospital steps and, instead, told the media to head to Windsor when the former Suits actress went into labor.

However, it was claimed that Meghan Markle had already given birth when the news about her being in labor came out. Express UK shared the pair’s decision to handle Archie’s birth was a “turning point” in their relationship with the press.
Broadcaster Trevor Phillips said:
“They made it clear that the historic convention, for example about pictures of a new infant, they weren’t going to go with it. And at that point it became clear that, either they had not really grasped that in return for the fairy tale you have to give the people outside the castle something, or they just decided they didn’t want to play the game. And the point at which you decide you’re not going to play the game, don’t expect other people to play by the rules.”
Daily Telegraph’s associate editor Camilla Tominey added:
“Oh, so the baby was born in the early hours of this morning and I’m in a taxi on my way to be reporting that she’s in labour when in fact it’s a fait accompli? And by the way, they’re not going to tell us much, including where the baby’s been born, so if I’m asked live on air where the baby’s been born, I won’t be able to say that.”

Most, if not all, followers of the royal family are aware that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announced the arrival of Archie thru their official Instagram account. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex even allowed a “very small” photocall days after their son’s birth.
Meghan Markle And Prince Harry Are Not Hosting Prince William And Kate Middleton During Cambridge Couple’s U.S. Tour
Meanwhile, Jonathan Sacerdoti revealed to Us Magazine Prince William and Kate Middleton are very unlikely to stay with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on their imminent trip to the United States, which will be the Cambridge couple’s first visit to the country since 2014. The environmental initiative of Prince William is set to hold its second annual award ceremony in America in 2022.
Sacerdoti said:
“It’s like so many of these things — it’s a sort of lose-lose situation. If they get invited and they decline, it seems petty and nasty. And if they don’t get invited, it seems petty and nasty from the other side. And if they do accept such an invitation and something goes terribly wrong, that seems like a bad idea. I can’t quite see how this would work.”
The royal expert’s claim makes sense as Prince William and Prince Harry are said to be not on good terms due to their personal difference. There are also speculations saying that even Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton are at war because of their husbands’ spat.

To recall, Meghan Markle told Ellen DeGeneres that they celebrated their second Thanksgiving in the U.S. at home in California. The wife of Prince Harry, previously, said:
“I love to cook. We’ll be home and just sort of relax and settle in. It’s our second Thanksgiving at home in California. It’ll be nice, it’ll be really nice.”
Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, Prince William, and Kate Middleton have yet to comment on the reports about their alleged fights. So, devoted supporters of the royal family should take all these unverified reports with a huge grain of salt until everything is proven true and correct.
