How Meghan and Harry changed the royal family forever
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex aren’t your traditional royal couple. Prince Harry is a forward-thinking millennial and an independent spirit, while Meghan Markle speaks her mind and has forged her own path.
NOT YOUR AVERAGE ROYALS
From the moment their engagement was announced, the world knew Harry and Meghan were going to shake up this old establishment. But who could’ve predicted the extent?

In early 2019, Harry and Meghan announced their decision to step away from their royal duties - a move that would change the royal family forever.
A LIFE-CHANGING MOVE
The decision followed endless tabloid coverage on the pair, which shifted over the course of their marriage.
Harry’s battles with mental health and his unhappiness in the Royal family were soon made very clear - suggesting Meghan was not the reason for his departure, but just a supporter who helped him turn his wishes into reality.

Meghan and Harry have since spoken out a number of times, with their infamous Oprah interview in May serving as the most damaging. It shone a harsh light over the well-oiled PR machine that has served the Royal Family for generations.
THE OPRAH INTERVIEW
At this point, a big reconciliation between the royals looks unlikely. Harry and Meghan now split their time between the United Kingdom and the United States, and they’re determined to be a strong force - at least in the US.
