Meghan Markle’s relationship with the royal family became estranged after her exit in 2020. Markle and her husband, Prince Harry, moved to California to live a different lifestyle from the royal clan. Recently, a royal expert claimed that the “Suits” alum might not have allegedly understood her role as the Duchess of Sussex.

The person added that Meghan Markle was often interested in charitable work; therefore, her exit surprised many. Reportedly, her ambitions didn’t align with royal protocols. 

Expert on Meghan Markle’s true ambitions: ‘Not sure she craves superstar profile’

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry left the royal family in 2020, which allegedly strained the couple’s relationship with the monarchy. According to OK! Magazine, many experts wondered why the 44-year-old chose to make her royal exit, given her interests in women’s rights, mental health, and other topics. 

Royal expert and former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond recently spoke with the outlet about it. She said, “I have always held the view that Meghan failed to understand that she would never be the top dog in the Royal Family… or even the deputy top dog.”

The expert explained that Markle has been an “independent” woman and that there was no harm in taking control of one’s life. She added, “It’s just that the Royal Family was the wrong vehicle for her ambitions.” Furthermore, she also elaborated on the Duchess of Sussex’s true ambitions.

Despite several rumors, Bond believed that Markle never “craved a superstar profile.” As per the expert, the mother of two has “projects in the pipeline.” She would reportedly “enjoy being in control of every detail” while staying in California.

Meanwhile, an earlier report suggested that Markle’s husband, Harry, could allegedly amend his relationship with his father, King Charles. According to a source, his frequent visits to the UK and “time to time” calling or writing letters to the monarch might make things right.
