Lauren Nolen, Senior
On Wednesday, January 8, British royal couple Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made the announcement that they are choosing to step back from their “senior” duties in the royal family. According to the couple, their goal is “to become financially independent,'' which has raised a lot questioning among people of how they will be financially successful without the profit benefits from the royal family.
The announcement of this decision of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex has resulted in a lot of criticism and outrage throughout the UK, and this news has received enough worldwide attention to be one of the main headlines all over the media, despite some of the other serious world events that have occurred within the past few days. People have declared their anger on Twitter and other outlets, feeling as though this is a betrayal to the monarchy and a lot of this anger has been directed toward Meghan herself because of claims that she is the sole reason for this split. As the couple faces the heat from the media, the Queen herself is said to be enraged with fury by several sources in the UK.
The couple, specifically Meghan, has been facing random criticisms from the British media for years, likely playing a role in this decision for them to take a step back and hopefully fall out of the spotlight.
