Prince Harry’s family gives Meghan Markle slap in the face: Is there even any real value to this?’
Meghan Markle’s time meeting King Charles wound up being one of the worst visits yet, and the reason why has been shared by a well placed source that is well aware of her emotions towards the whole thing.
For those unversed, the meeting happened more than a week ago and since then experts, commentators and even other media professionals have questioned why the meeting had to take place at all, whereas others are hailing the monarch’s caution. However it seems it is that very caution that is not sitting right with the Duchess.
The source spoke about this with RadarOnline and their conversation saw them admit, “before the visit, they were presented with clear guidance about what could be photographed, what could appear on social media, and what needed approval before being shared publicly.”
But being a Californian native Meghan is said to have found those restrictions “particularly difficult” because post Megxit she’s “spent years building an independent life in California where she decides how and when she communicates with the public.”
All in all they say it “ended up making her feel like an outsider and that left her feeling deeply hurt.”
Another aspect of it revolved around the lack of family warmth during the entire thing because it felt as though she was “returning to an environment where every image and public-facing detail was subject to scrutiny felt like a step backwards rather than a family visit.” To her, “it created the impression that they were being handled as a public relations issue instead of being welcomed simply as Harry and Meghan.”
The only person whose said to have kept their eyes on the prize is Prince Harry because his focus was on “looking ahead, rebuilding trust, and giving his father the opportunity to spend meaningful time with his grandchildren” — Compared to him Meghan, however, came away with a ‘very different impression’.
“She felt many of the same patterns that had caused problems in the past were still firmly in place – a culture of caution, tight control, and an underlying feeling that they were never fully trusted. She believed she had done everything that was expected of her. She respected the boundaries that had been set, avoided drawing attention to herself, and made every effort to keep the visit low-key.”
Before signing off the insider said, “even so, she left feeling as though she was still viewed as someone on the outside looking in, rather than as a fully accepted member of the family. That experience made her question whether there was any real value in putting herself through the same situation again.”
