•Crown-Chimera

With world changing so fast, running towards development, some people still find happiness and pride in celebrating their past and commemorating their ancient glory. They feel proud and privileged to be born on lands that hold histories so golden and epic. Breaking obstacles through centuries, building a great empire, winning the hearts of its citizens, expanding love in the name of commonwealth, under the able guidance of monarchs so supreme and responsible, although constantly criticised, standing on the top of British society, with their name resounding globally, influencing billions, ruling millions, the royal family of England still gives reason for the citizens to celebrate their past and present equally as not much of their glory and fame has changed since centuries. A scandal in a family like this, making the headlines is not that awe-provoking, but still makes people eager to talk and know more about them and specifically their mistakes. And the latest news about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepping back from their senior royal duties, is definitely a topic which is debated world wide. Though the rules followed by the royal family are hundreds of years old, they are still very accurate and can be applied even during modern times. But some cases really put people in several doubts. Although the succession system dominating the female heirs has been removed recently with a new law passed by the queen, advantaging Princess Charlotte of Cambridge, the issue of a child holding the responsibility of the empire in the case of sudden tragic situations occurring to the current ruler, in this case the Queen, Prince Charles and Prince William would only result in the falling of this great empire on the shoulders of Prince George of Cambridge, who is still a child and not Prince Harry, who is still two places away in the line of succession after Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, his niece and nephew who are even younger. With the Queen still on the throne even at her 90s, followed by her direct heir Prince Charles, who entered his 70s, Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge and Prince Harry had almost equal chances at succeeding to the throne before William was married. But now the Cambridge couple have three children which makes it quite impossible for Prince Harry to even hope for the throne. After the birth of Prince Louis, Harry was left sixth in the line of succession, giving him a strong motto to abdicate from his family, with the crown seeming unachievable and royal duties seem meaningless without any price or payment in return. This is just one probable factor of why Prince Harry left the family, although he actively participated in all the royal charities and galas, there's still a possibility of him feeling as an extra tag on to the Cambridges before his marriage, and the throne being impossible he might've decide to leave to spend his rest of the life away from attention towards peace. We'll never know their true intentions!

•Meghan's Epiphany: Revelation and Reality

An actor/actress is often misread as self-absorbed, prideful, cunning, fame-seeking personalities. Not everyone is like that though. Some celebrities have astonishingly humble lifestyles and noble hearts. Clearly, Meghan Markle in this case is mostly misread as said. Meghan, didn't allow the fame she got from the tv show 'Suits' to get to her head. She is a completely different person behind the screen. Participating and promoting charitable associations and trusts, empowering women, fighting for gender equality, making people realise about the importance of female education and menstrual hygiene, visiting various countries to expand her vision and aim like India even before meeting Harry and going into the family, Meghan is truly a person of golden heart and bright vision. This might be what, that attracted her so much to Prince Harry apart from her successful career as an actress. He might've thought this socialist and feminist is a correct match for his family and thought she would get along easily. Meghan's ideas have always made sense to Harry. Maybe she would've enlightened him about how he lives his life in a bubble, or how service can be done even outside the family but with a lot more freedom, or how one should pursue their own dreams and goals in one's life rather than dedicate their whole life in doing what their family expects them to do. Well this seems so meaningful, except when you think it from the view of the royal family. It's what their meant to do, serve people, dedicate their lives to service and traditions. That's what make them worthy of the tax payers money. Citizens don't just pay pounds so the royals could live in luxury, there is an expected payback in the name of meaningful governance, giving them feeling of pride and patriotism and ultimately living up to their expectations. And this feeling of liberty, that too in the mind of a member of senior royal rank as Harry is a disappointment to the whole family. And what has changed to before this thought shot up to him and now, well everyone could blame only one person, 'Meghan Markle'. Well this may look bad to the family, but to Harry this is life changing. Finally, he got someone in his life to get him free, not that he's in suffering, but we can't expect serving people forever to actually be a fun thing to do. It's not wrong for the family or the royal devotees and Harry's lovers to blame Meghan for this, but if its what the Sussexes decided that is best for them, maybe it is true, leading a life without surrounded paparazzi and everyday schedules given, is a lot less stressful. Though the family released statements in support of Harry's decision, isn't it obvious they aren't happy and blame Meghan for that. But for the Duke of Sussex, marrying Meghan Markle is the best thing that happened to him. She brought, complex and scandalous situations to his life for sure, but most importantly, she brought a sense of clarity, thought, freedom and liberty. If Meghan is the true reason for Harry to leave the family, then she truly took a dare step. But that one step only made Harry happier, though it provoked various other issues to arise. This is another reason why Harry took the most criticized step of the century. Meghan truly got him into reality, though upsetting several minds. A normal and happy life is her only instinct and intention which was completely negated by the public, as of this possibility!
