In a surprising turn of events during Wimbledon 2019, Meghan Markle made headlines by attributing her Paparazzi troubles to the palace's failure to shield her.
Attending day four of the prestigious tennis tournament to watch Prince William in his second-round match, this marked Meghan's second Wimbledon appearance as a royal, following her attendance the previous summer with Princess Kate.
However, the day took an unexpected twist when a man was accused of taking a photo of Meghan, only to be revealed later that he was innocently capturing a selfie. Despite the misunderstanding, Meghan's security confronted the individual, leading to a situation deemed humiliating and insulting, a departure from the behavior exhibited by other members of the royal family.
Notably, Meghan opted to clear the area around her, displacing around 40 paying guests who lost their seats due to her unannounced presence. This move sparked controversy, especially considering the potential impact on fans who may have waited for years or traveled from overseas to witness the renowned Wimbledon event.
Furthermore, discussions arose about Meghan's attire, with rumors circulating that she may not have been allowed in the Royal box due to wearing jeans. While she watched her friend Serena Williams, she didn't stay to watch Andy Murray, raising eyebrows among spectators.
The situation escalated when Meghan accused palace staff of discrimination, alleging that they failed to silence the media to cover up her perceived transgressions. In her interview with Oprah, Meghan asserted that if the same were to happen to Kate, the palace would defend her. This claim exploited the royal family's "no complain, no explain" policy, allowing Meghan to shape public opinion and present herself as a victim.
Recent developments indicate that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are supposedly eyeing 2024 as their "year of redemption." However, royal expert Phil Dampier expresses skepticism, emphasizing that actions speak louder than words. Dampier suggests that Harry and Meghan need substantial efforts to convince the public of their intentions to redeem themselves.
Highlighting the complexity of the situation, Dampier points out that even during Christmas, when the royal family showcased unity by allowing Prince Andrew's ex-wife, Fergie, to join them, Harry and Meghan were notably absent. This absence sent a clear message, indicating that everyone was welcome except the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Since departing from the royal family in 2020, Harry and Meghan have resided in California, publicly addressing their grievances about discrimination toward their son, Archie. Despite their aspirations for redemption, the couple faces ongoing scrutiny, with the public demanding tangible actions to support their words.
