Under pressure
Harry and Meghan’s decision to step back from their royal duties was seen as a dramatic move by many, but it wasn’t entirely unexpected by those who closely follow the royal family. The intense media scrutiny they faced was relentless and often harsh. From the very beginning of their relationship, every detail of Harry and Meghan’s courtship was eagerly covered by the British press, sometimes in a manner that lacked fairness and respect.
This continuous and often negative coverage undoubtedly contributed to their decision to seek a life away from the constant public gaze. Their experience is reflective of the challenges faced by modern royals in an era of pervasive media scrutiny.
