Ms. Nicholl notes that, according to some experts, Meghan and Harry contradict themselves.
Many have speculated that Meghan should have expected attention, as unlike Princess Diana, she was a celebrity before she married Harry. However, Ms Nicholl disagrees. “I think even though she was a celebrity, I don’t think it compares to life in the royal family.”
Yes, she had celebrity status, but she wasn’t a first-tier actress like Angelina Jolie or Nicole Kidman. She said she had never experienced such a level of public attention.
I think the attention to Meghan Markle was the same as any other member of the royal family. However, people have short memories. And the Duchess of Cambridge also had tough moments with the tabloids, she adds.

In January 2020, the couple said that they were abandoning the duties of senior members of the royal family due to excessive media attention. They moved to Canada and then California, and recently announced that they would not return to the UK to perform royal duties.
Katie Nicholl said that after moving to America, they “revealed more about their lives than ever during their stay in Britain.” After relinquishing royal duties, the couple launched the Spotify podcast, signed a deal with Netfli, and also gave interviews to James Corden and Oprah Winfrey. People have questions for this couple who moved out just because they wanted a quiet life. The story of escaping Britain from media attention is not true to many people.

Harry told Oprah he had not previously planned to strike deals with Netfli and Spotify, but because his family had "literally cut him off financially" in early 2020, he had to agree to it.
James Brooks believes that Prince Harry’s attitude towards the media has been defined since Princess Diana died. “In many ways, Harry and William’s attitude toward the media is tarnished because in their eyes, the paparazzi were stalking the mother,” he said.

Back in 2017, in a BBC documentary, Prince Harry spoke about her mother's death and the role of the paparazzi: "I think one of the things that's hard to come to terms with is that the people who chased her in the tunnel are the same people who took pictures of her after the collision in the back seat of the car."
This position explains the statement of Prince Harry in October 2019, but despite this, Katie Nicholl believes that “for Meghan, the paparazzi do not follow and pursue her like it was with Diana.” But the woman emphasizes that the prince is clearly fed up with stories that criticize Meghan: "He attacks journalists who, in his opinion, constantly fuel a negative narrative about his wife."
“There have been many negative stories about spending money. Including the cost of remodeling their home, which was covered by taxpayer money, the author explains. And that money, £2,400,000 ($3,300,000), was later returned. There has also been talk of the cost of the Duchess of Sussex's designer outfit, amounting to hundreds of thousands of pounds.
Harry told Oprah that he had been cut off from royal grants in early 2020, even before leaving the royal family publicly. To continue to provide a familiar lifestyle and home in Santa Barbara with round-the-clock security, Harry and Meghan began to earn on their name and personal brand.

On Meghan and Kate's conflict, There were many different stories around the wedding. There were rumors that Meghan wished for air fresheners in St George’s Chapel. There was talk of tantrums about the tiara. There was also a discussion about the quarrel between Meghan and Kate over the clothes of Princess Charlotte (at the wedding of Meghan and Harry – ed.).
Meghan told Oprah that it was different: “A couple of days before the wedding [Kate] was upset with the girls’ dresses and it made me cry,” Meghan said. According to her, then Kate apologized and sent flowers with a note and apologies. She stressed that Kate is a "good person" and she would like people to know the truth. The question of what was the main cause of the conflict is not answered in the interview. But in Britain, many remember that the tabloids constantly compared Meghan and Kate, and in 9 cases out of 10 preferred the latter.
The British character of Harry Harry and Meghan essentially went against the British essence. Restraint and firmness of character are those qualities that are welcomed by members of the royal family. And for this, the true British aristocracy continues to be respected in the world.
The difficulty, according to Ms Nicholl, is that there is an obvious public interest in famous couples. But there is a limit to what is acceptable. “The job of the press is to report on the royal family, but honestly and impartially.”

As for the public reaction, it is likely that Harry and Meghan expected such. Therefore, for a candid interview they went to the homeland of the Prince, namely in America, Oprah. The target audience of their interviews is not British, but Americans. They are progressive, liberal, and wealthy Californians. In Britain, Harry and Meghan may be condemned, but in America they are already applauded and empathized.
The question of a quiet life is open. Who knows if they will be able to live in such a way that they do not talk about it. But the fact that they made the main decisions in life and decided to change their fate is commendable. Do you think these royals are acting right?
