The Media Frenzy
Most people are aware that the press has been giving Meghan a hard time ever since she and Prince Harry got married. The way the media has portrayed the couple helped them reach their decision to step down. He has talked about this issue as well. “I’ve seen what happens when someone I love is commoditized to the point that they are no longer treated or seen as a real person,” he said in a statement. “I lost my mother, and now I watch my wife falling victim to the same powerful forces.”
Changing Their Relationship With The Press
The press has portrayed Meghan Markle negatively so often that we are not surprised to hear that they did something about it. When they announced that they were stepping back, they launched a new website with a section solely dedicated to the media coverage they received. It means that the couple no longer plans to join the royal media system. Usually, a certain media outlet would cover an event and simply share the photos with other organizations. Instead, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex chose to work with journalists who can provide objective reports to credible outlets.
