Meghan ‘Left Palace Furious’ with Unprecedented Pre-Engagement Interview about Harry
Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, sent shockwaves through Buckingham Palace with an unexpected and candid interview she gave to Vanity Fair just months before her engagement to Prince Harry was announced. The interview, which featured Meghan on the magazine’s cover with the headline ‘Wild About Harry,’ was described as “brazen” by royal experts and left the palace in turmoil.
In the groundbreaking interview, Meghan opened up about her blossoming relationship with Prince Harry, offering intimate insights into their love story and how their relationship evolved under the relentless glare of the public eye. Her comments, seen as a breach of royal protocol, reportedly left the palace “furious.”
Meghan did not hold back when discussing the intricacies of their relationship. “We’re a couple. We’re in love,” she boldly declared. “I’m sure there will be a time when we will have to come forward and present ourselves and have stories to tell, but I hope what people will understand is that this is our time. This is for us. It’s part of what makes it so special, that it’s just ours. But we’re happy. Personally, I love a great love story.”
The timing of this interview, which was published mere months before the official announcement of their engagement, took the palace by surprise. Traditionally, royal couples maintain a low profile until the engagement is formally announced by Buckingham Palace. Meghan’s decision to discuss her relationship with Prince Harry in such a public forum was seen as a deviation from this protocol, causing a stir among royal insiders.
According to reports by Express on Sunday, September 10, 2023, a royal author commented on Meghan’s decision, stating, “Meghan Markle’s interview with Vanity Fair took Buckingham Palace by surprise. It was a very candid and unexpected move that left many within the royal circle furious. Royal engagements are typically shrouded in secrecy until they are officially announced by the palace, and Meghan’s decision to speak openly about her relationship with Prince Harry was seen as a breach of protocol.”
The magazine cover itself, featuring Meghan Markle under the ‘Wild About Harry’ caption, added to the intrigue. It served as a public declaration of their love, making it clear that the couple was unapologetically sharing their happiness with the world.
While the interview may have ruffled some feathers within the palace, it also cemented Meghan and Harry’s status as a modern and relatable royal couple. Their willingness to share their love story with the public was seen by many as a sign of the royal family’s evolving approach to tradition and public relations.
As Meghan and Harry continue to make headlines with their philanthropic endeavors and public appearances, it remains to be seen how this candid interview will shape their relationship with the palace and the public’s perception of the royal couple.
