As Meghan Markle turns 45, debate rages over whether her exit from royal life dealt the monarchy a fatal blow. Author Catherine Mayer argues the Sussexes’ move to America triggered a steep decline in public favor, though she stops short of blaming them entirely. Their departure—fueled by media pressure and lack of support—was followed by candid interviews, documentaries, and Harry’s explosive memoir, all of which strained family ties. Meghan’s rare return to the U.K. for a private meeting with King Charles last year underscored the lingering tension, especially as she avoided public view due to security concerns. Mayer highlights how Harry and Meghan uniquely connected with younger audiences—a demographic Prince William and Kate struggle to reach amid their more traditional image. Yet critics counter that the Sussexes’ actions were intentionally damaging, undermining royal unity and preventing necessary adaptation. Despite fractures, the monarchy is pivoting forward, balancing ancient tradition with modern demands—and any reconciliation will require patience and time.
