World Reactions Trail Prince Harry And Meghan’s Decision To Quit As “Senior” Royals

In a turn of events, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have announced that they will step back as “senior” royals and divide time between the UK and North America.

According to a statement released by the couple from Buckingham Palace, they stated that they plan to “carve out a progressive new role within this institution”.

They further stated that they want to be financially independent, so they plan to work.

Last October, Prince Harry, and Meghan publicly revealed their struggles under the media spotlight. They noted that they reached their decision “after many months of reflection and internal discussions”.

However, different reactions are currently trailing the stepping down of Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle as “Senior Royals.”

Here are some reactions below:

The British press this morning have just proved why Harry & Meghan were spot on with their decision. Only a media this shitty could call a man 'petulant & selfish' for wanting to shield his wife & son from the vile press abuse & harassment which once claimed his mother's life…

The dialogue about #Meghan was racist from the beginning – gangland, exotic, outsider. It was, as she said, not ‘fair’. Meghan was criticized when other royal women praised for doing the same – from mag editing to gowns. She was doing so much good work. Now we’ve lost her.

Harry and Meghan were not driven away by British racism. Yes, there was a cultural tension. But it was between the English view that society should aspire to be colour blind, & Meghan's woke American rhetoric about 'sisterhood' and empowering 'people of colour'. It just jarred.

I’ve just heard from the Queen Mother about Prince Harry and Meghan. She’s gone to me, she’s gone: “‘Geeza’s pussy-whipped. Simple as.” #Harrymeghan

I wish Harry and Meghan well as they try to escape the racist, ‘misogynist British institutions that have pretended to be newspapers for all these years. Let them start over in a place with a press corps that are actually decent people. https://t.co/eduEMkMcoM
