A year ago, Meghan and Prince Harry, not without a scandal, left the British Royal Palace and moved first to Canada and then to California. The world wondered: what are the couple going to do? Many were sure that Megan returned to America to start Instagram and return to the cinema again (where now she will definitely get better roles, unlike her past life). Others – just to escape from the palace order and excessive attention. But recently, the couple gave an interview to Oprah Winfrey, which promises to be scandalous. The full version will be released on March 7, but one of the announcements has already shown that Harry decided to leave the UK because “he feared a repetition of the story with Princess Diana.”
Believe Meghan and Harry or not – everyone's business. But Markle's quarrelsome character has been legendary for a long time. We are talking about the most notorious scandals – they could not be hidden even by the efforts of the palace.
Megan and racism
Perhaps this is almost the only scandal around the Duchess of Sussex that she did not start. As soon as it became known about the engagement of Harry and Megan, the tabloids began to condemn the actress for being black. The palace had to end the persecution: they issued a statement condemning the racist attacks.
But the matter did not end there: for example, the Princess of Kent (the wife of Elizabeth II's cousin) put on an interesting brooch to meet with Markle – an African in a turban was depicted on the ancient Venetian Blackmoor jewelry. By the way, it was not just a meeting, but the first dinner of the future duchess with the royal family. Megan did not miss this detail and was instantly offended. The princess – a well-known person – once outraged her at the behavior of dark-skinned customers of a restaurant in New York, and she advised them to send them “back to the colonies.” By the way, African Americans were just talking loudly.
In the case of the brooch, the Princess of Kent won – Meghan was convicted of “ignorance.” They say that the brooches are not a slave, but a Venetian Moor. A cultural reference, so to speak.
Megan and father
The parents of the star are divorced. And Megan decided to do without her father and ignore the tradition in which the bride is led to the altar by her father. She did not dare to tell about it directly, announcing that he would not come to the wedding because he was ill.
But the offended father did not remain silent, and explained that his daughter simply did not call him. And then he continued to share the details – he sold his daughter's letters to the tabloids, said that he was forbidden to see his grandson, and once even revealed that Harry was a Donald Trump fan.
Megan and Charlotte's pantyhose
Of course, without a dress code at court in any way. Princesses are not allowed to wear jeans, miniskirts, or, say, show bare legs. Even for little ones: if a girl appears in a skirt, she must wear tights. But Megan decided that it was high time to remake all these ancient orders for modern life. And she quarreled with the wife of Prince William, Kate Middleton, who, according to all the canons, set out to put tights on her daughter when she was going to the wedding of Megan and Harry. It would seem, well, what does the bride care about the little princess's tights? And yet Markle defended with a scandal so that on a hot wedding day Charlotte was without them. Eyewitnesses said that Megan brought Kate to tears, and she simply decided to do as the hostess of the celebration required.
Megan and the wedding outfit
The wedding scandals do not end there. Megan simply could not help violating the protocol even during such a high-profile event (by the way, fully paid from the royal budget). Traditionally, all princesses get married in dresses from British designers. Moreover, Britain is rich in nuggets, from which the whole world goes crazy. But Markle was not satisfied, and she chose the head of the French Givenchy Claire Waite Keller. Fortunately, the designer herself is from Britain, so the queen turned a blind eye to all this.
But what she did not allow was Megan to go out in a luxurious tiara with emeralds and diamonds the size of a plum. And she gave the bride another piece of jewelry, studded with “only” relatively small diamonds. The “diamond bando” of the queen's grandmother, Maria Tekskaya, had not seen the world for 60 years, and the bride was categorically not satisfied. The scandal continued until the ceremony, but the queen insisted on her own.
The full version will be released on March 7, but one of the announcements has already shown that Harry decided to leave the UK because “he feared a repetition of the story with Princess Diana.”

Megan and the servant
They say that you can easily understand what a person is, just by looking closely at how he relates to those who are of lower rank. For example, a servant. When Megan first moved to the UK, the courtiers had a hard time. Those who prepared the American actress's wedding later spoke of her arrogance and “blatant arrogance.” Megan scandalized about any reason, drove out the servants assigned to her, and later fired everyone and hired her own.
The servants tried to complain, but, not receiving sympathy, they decided to at least earn extra money from their torment by selling the story about them to the tabloids.
Megan and the nannies
The son of Harry and Meghan – Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor – was born on May 6. And by the end of June he got acquainted with the third nanny. The first two fled from the palace with a scandal, complaining about the nature of mommy. Yes, it was not Markle who fired them, they themselves did not want to remain at court – neither prestige, nor luxurious conditions, nor a huge salary helped.
The third one was picked up by Megan herself – a dark-skinned woman in the body became the nanny. When she accidentally got into the photo, everyone decided that in this way Markle was only protecting his family from cheating, without provoking Harry to look at his son's nannies.
Megan and double standards
As befits a modern actress, Markle is an animal protector. It's a good thing, but here you should always start with yourself. She forbade her husband to participate in English hunting (by the way, also traditional). But he is not going to give up handbags made of genuine leather, for which from time to time he “receives” from real nature defenders.
Markle's ecology, by the way, is also not all right: the star drives a Cadillac Escalade, recognized as the most environmentally friendly car in the world.
Megan and Megzit
And, of course, the loudest scandal is the departure of Harry and Megan from the royal family. Exactly a year ago, Markle persuaded her husband to give up all royal titles and duties and flee to a free life. Granny Harry didn't like this offer, but where to go? She allowed her grandson to live independently, giving the couple a year of probation. How it all ended, we see now (although it is hardly appropriate to use this phrase here – this, of course, is only the beginning).
