Speaking on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show, royal commentator Simon Vigar strongly disputed the notion that the Duchess of Sussex was not welcomed into the royal family after her marriage to Prince Harry in 2018. Vigar emphasized that significant efforts were made to ensure that Meghan felt at home within the Palace, highlighting the evident affection and support she received from the prince.
He also pointed out the overwhelmingly positive media coverage surrounding Meghan’s initial appearances as a royal, a stark contrast to the negative portrayal of events that the Sussexes have presented since their exit from the Firm. Vigar attributed the shift in media tone to the couple’s decision to step down as senior royals in 2020.
Vigar described the transformation in the demographic of people attending royal events following Meghan’s arrival, reflecting a more modern representation of British society. He expressed disappointment that all these efforts and positive progress had been squandered due to the couple’s decision to leave the royal family.
