From the royal wedding to her final events as a royal, some moments that defined Meghan’s remarkable tenure.

And yet, before and after her marriage, Meghan was plagued by constant, racist and sexist attacks from the British press. They even seized upon her work ethic, amplifying rumors that she “worked too hard” and was too demanding. Throughout this, her estranged family members leaked private conversations to the American press, and rumors that there was tension between Harry and Will added even more scrutiny to the couple.
In retrospect, it’s no surprise that Harry and Meghan announced that they would be stepping down as senior members of the royal family; in recent months, both opened up about their struggles, particularly with the biased press coverage of Meghan. Now, per an official statement from the pair, their focus will be on “carv[ing] out a progressive new role” in the institution of the royal family.
