Meghan Markle's most controversial claims against Royal family

Ever since Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, decided to step down as a royal in 2020, she has been the focus of royal controversies.

Her remarks concerning the British royal family have brought a world-wide discussion which divided the masses and put the royalty in a spotlight never before seen.

The interview with Oprah Winfrey (2021) was one of the most dramatic as Meghan disclosed some truly shocking information about her experience in the royal institution. Meghan said that the family had been worried and had discussed the matter of how dark her son Archie was. 

This was one of the most provocative things that according to The New York Times came out of a royal.

Meghan also discussed how she was not supported when she was experiencing mental health problems. According to her interview she said she had suicidal thoughts but was not encouraged to seek professional help on the grounds that it would not be in the best interest of the institution.

Critics believe that this brought to light how the monarchy treated mental health in an outdated manner, and those defending the Firm believe that what Meghan had to say was overstated.

Besides, Meghan denounced the rigid nature of royal living. She said that her passport, driver license and keys were taken away when she became part of the royal family and she felt trapped in her situation as her words indicate that she liked being in a royal family.

She said the experience was isolating and a complete contrast to the glamorous picture of royal life that the media depict.

As Buckingham Palace replied with the now-notorious quote, Recollections may vary, the words spoken by Meghan still have a life of their own in the discourse of race, mental health, and modern monarchy.

Be it viewed as a truth-teller or a disrupter, the controversial words of Meghan Markle have had an undoubted impact on how the world perceives the royal family.
