Media personality Ryan-Mark Parsons has claimed that Meghan Markle’s decision to snub King Charles has caused her to be cast aside from the royal fold. According to a report by Express UK, Parsons said that while the couple still hold their titles, they are “no longer working royals” and are living an independent life away from the institution, its work, and its responsibilities.
Parsons also claimed that Markle’s presence at King Charles’ celebration would be “very distracting,” bringing a lot of media attention and causing scrutiny on how Kate Middleton and Prince William would interact with them. He added that Markle and her husband Prince Harry are no longer a part of the family like they were before.
This latest development comes after Markle and Prince Harry’s explosive interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021, where they made several allegations against the royal family, including claims of racism and lack of support for Markle’s mental health struggles.
The couple has since stepped down from their roles as senior royals, relocated to the United States, and signed lucrative deals with Netflix and Spotify. They have also launched their non-profit organization Archewell, which aims to “drive systemic cultural change across all communities, one act of compassion at a time.”
Despite their departure from royal duties, Markle and Prince Harry have remained in the public eye, with the couple frequently making headlines for their philanthropic work and public appearances. They have also announced that they are expecting their second child, a sister for their son Archie.
It remains to be seen whether Markle’s decision to snub King Charles will have a lasting impact on her relationship with the royal family. However, it is clear that the couple has carved out a new path for themselves, one that prioritizes their independence and the causes they are passionate about.
