Prince Harry has opened up about the ongoing rumors regarding Meghan Markle allegedly breaking royal protocol, shedding light on what really happened behind the scenes. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex first met in 2016, and their romance quickly became public knowledge after their trip to Botswana. Over the next few years, Meghan began her journey into royal life, learning about British traditions, such as the national anthem and the signature royal wave.
In 2020, they made a life-changing decision to step back from their royal duties and moved to Los Angeles to raise their two children, Archie and Lilibet.
This move marked the beginning of a new chapter, which included a headline-grabbing interview with Oprah, the release of Harry’s memoir Spare, and a revealing Netflix documentary about their personal experiences.
During the documentary, Harry dismissed the allegations of Meghan breaking royal protocol, particularly around the #MeToo movement speech she gave in 2018.
Meghan herself noted that while she understood there were ways things were traditionally done, there was no formal training on the specifics of royal etiquette, like how to sit or what type of wave to give. She humorously shared that she taught herself not to wave “like an American.”
Reports also mentioned that the late Queen suggested Meghan receive guidance from Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, an offer Meghan declined. Additionally, Harry pointed out how the media created “invented protocols,” and Meghan reflected on the intense scrutiny she faced, describing it as a “baptism by fire.”
