Prince Harry and Meghan Markle celebrated their sixth wedding anniversary on May 19th.
Often regarded as a very compatible couple with a trusting relationship, the dynamics of their partnership invite deeper exploration. Harry appears to play the role of the supportive partner, while Meghan takes center stage. But what does true compatibility mean in their context? Trust in their relationship is frequently discussed, but it’s worth questioning if they genuinely trust each other.
If they view themselves as a united team facing the world together, this could strengthen their bond. However, some speculate that Meghan might have influenced Harry into believing they can overcome challenges together as a family. It's also worth considering if Meghan would have stayed with Harry if he weren't wealthy or a prince.
Meghan Markle has been portrayed as someone eager to control and direct her own life. Royal expert Andrew Pierce discussed this with Sarah Vine on the latest episode of The Mills YouTube show. Pierce remarked, "She needs to be a leading actor in her life, which is fine, but she should be honest about it. Don’t put everyone through this ordeal and don’t gaslight an entire nation." He warned against the Duchess of Sussex's actions, emphasizing, "Don’t gaslight the whole of Britain into believing we treated her poorly because that wasn’t the case. People liked her; she just didn’t like the role. She didn’t want the assignment." Pierce suggested that Meghan showcased herself prominently while Harry seemed to just accompany her.
Meanwhile, a documentary about Prince George aired on the eve of the Sussexes' wedding anniversary. Although George won't turn 11 until July, the timing of the documentary on Channel 5 in the UK seemed strategic, coinciding with the day before Harry and Meghan's anniversary. This move raised suspicions, as it diverted attention from the Sussexes' celebration. Instead of the media focusing on their wedding anniversary and Meghan's role as a stunning bride, the spotlight shifted to Prince George, the future king, who pushed Harry further down the line of succession the day he was born.
Critics of Prince Harry argue that he has faced ridicule and criticism for his perceived naivety, especially on his anniversary with Meghan. Some claim that Harry has failed as a man by disappointing the Queen and Britain. Ingrid Seward, an expert, remarked in The Sun, "We loved them for a while, and then we didn't, much to many complaints. But they were in love, and that mattered until they left, and then they didn’t matter anymore. They let the Queen down, the Prince of Wales down, William down, and us down." Seward noted that Harry was stoic, loving his Californian lifestyle and his family but harboring bitterness towards everything he left behind, including his brother, father, and sister-in-law, Kate.
From a financial perspective, Harry's life can be considered a success. However, Seward argued that as a man, he hasn’t succeeded. She described Harry as a great husband but an incompetent son. "As a husband and father, he's done brilliantly. When he and Meghan celebrate their six-year anniversary on Sunday, they’ll pat themselves on the back. People said it wouldn’t last, but it has," she added. Despite this, Harry is no longer celebrated in his homeland as he once was; if anything, he is pitied.
