Meghan Markle seen as ‘villain' for stealing Prince Harry away from Royals

Meghan Markle continues to face public hate for “stealing” Prince Harry away from the Royal family despite the Duke of Sussex making that decision himself, an expert pointed out.

According to a new report, many critics see the Duchess of Sussex as spoiled and blame her for pulling Harry away from the Royal family.

However, Royal expert Christopher Andersen told In Touch Weekly that it was the Duke of Sussex who made the choice to leave his family on his own.

“Many people view Meghan as spoiled, smug and self-satisfied,” Andersen said. “They have cast her as the villain in the piece — the woman who stole Prince Charming away from his family and his country.”

“But Harry made that decision willingly, and that is equally galling to a lot of people,” the expert added.

“They have also cast themselves as victims despite the millions they’ve made and their lavish, celebrity-filled lifestyle in California, which frankly people also find incredibly annoying.”

The Sussexes have faced several setbacks, including the end of their $20 million Spotify deal and criticism over Harry’s role at the mental health app BetterUp.

Since 2018, 18 staff members have reportedly left their team and Meghan has been accused of mistreating staff, reports claimed. 

But former bodyguard Steve Davies claimed that not only Meghan was “warm”, she was “considerate all the time.”

“Nobody had a bad word to say about her,” he told the publication.

Another royal expert, Tom Quinn, also said that Meghan was “was constantly hugging [everyone], and the royals found that very difficult to deal with.”

“It’s part of that difference between the rather stiff emotionally repressed English and the more relaxed Californian. Several staff I spoke to who worked for Meghan said she was actually rather nice.”

So, in order to tackle this, “The forces in the world out there determined to break them … can be very unifying,” said Andersen.
