Meghan Markle’s whirlwind entrance and exit from the royal podium left a mark, etched not only in headlines but in the very fabric of empire And This is not just a “meggit“, it was a clash of cultures, and with freedom the spirit of ritual.
Royal investigator Jane Tippett paints a poignant picture. Actress-turned-princess Meghna was no blank line of royal embroidery as she struggled to join the centuries-old playbook of a woman whose story the Queen’s Institute has chronicled for 35 years the story of the. She was a force, whose opinions, experiences and aspirations didn’t match neatly boxed expectations.
Tippett points to the crux of the debate: “Maybe it wasn’t understood in the most practical way.” That was a missed opportunity, a loss for the empire. Harry and Meghan can become powerful agents of change within the system through their passion and drive. Instead, their demand for immediate change, their struggle to “make the system work,” created a desperate situation.

While some, like royalist Jan Moir, paint a bleak picture of burned-out bridges and broken treaties, others see the possibility. Public relations researcher Esther Krakue sees the Sussex Curve’s work from the aristocracy as a learning curve. Their initial courage to “bring the family down” may have been lost, but the experience can provide valuable insights for both parties.
The story of Meghan and the royals is not a simple story of winners and losers. It is an intricate tapestry of clashing perspectives, missed opportunities and a constant pull between tradition and progress. Perhaps, in time, both sides will draw valuable lessons from this extraordinary chapter, and learn to bridge the gap between independence and duty, between individuality and the crown.
