The situation has developed rapidly since Meghan Markle and Prince Harry shocked the world with the news that they would be stepping down from their royal family positions.
Much has been hinted about the couple's future, the work they will do to be "financially independent and of course, on the reason for this departure. In a recently published People article, a friend of the couple says, "If the relationship had been better, things would have been different."
"They didn't want to handle the situation like that, but Meghan and Harry were forced to," the friend continues. "There's a lot of upheaval in that family - it's toxic." (The person did not mention any members of the royal family). Another source told People that negative press coverage "hurt terribly" Meghan.
"Meghan and Harry were not supported or supported enough by the family," the source said.
What is really going on within the family remains a mystery. But we know that Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince Harry met with the Queen yesterday to discuss possible solutions and plans for the Sussex couple's future. Prior to the meeting, the two brothers issued a press release refuting the rumor that William "bullied" Harry and Meghan until he forced them to leave. ?Despite clear denials, an article in the British newspaper alluded to the relationship between the Duke of Sussex and the Duke of Cambridge. For brothers who are so involved in mental health issues, the inflammatory language used is offensive and potentially harmful, ?the statement said.
Queen Elizabeth focused on the family in the statement she issued yesterday after the meeting. "Today, my family and I held very constructive discussions regarding the future of my nephew and his family. My family and I fully support Harry and Meghan's desire to create a new family life. Although we would like them to stay full-time as members of the royal family, we respect and understand the desire to live an independent life, ?she said.
It is expected that Prince Harry and Meghan's decisions will be taken swiftly, at Queen's request. In terms of complicated relationships between family members, they want a little more time to settle.
