Meghan Markle became less interested in royal life after realizing Prince Harry was the “number two man” in the monarchy.
She started dating Prince Harry in 2016, and they got engaged in 2017. They had a beautiful wedding in 2018 at Windsor Castle’s St. George’s Chapel.
Ingrid Seward, a royal expert, shared with OK Magazine that after Meghan married Harry, she understood that he was not the top person in the royal family. Instead, he was the spare to his brother Prince William, who is the heir.
When Meghan learned this, she lost interest in being a part of the royal family. She felt like she was just following orders about what to do, where to go, and how to act. She wanted to be a star in her own right but felt that she was not getting that chance.
Seward explained that Meghan wanted to be the most important person in the royal family, but there can only be one. At first, she enjoyed the public attention and liked feeling like a princess. However, she eventually found the role less appealing when she realized that Harry would never be the top person.
