Royal admirers who saw Prince Harry growing up once knew him as the royal rebel. He was a fun-loving partygoer, and people approached him without reservations. But that drastically changed when Meghan Markle walked into his life. Royal staffers and Harry’s friends didn’t hold back from sharing their two cents. Read on to get the full scoop.
Prince Harry: Has Meghan Transformed Harry?
There has been all sorts of talk about whether Meghan Markle changed Prince Harry for good. Many people in the royal circle didn’t like Harry’s alleged transformation. According to an ex-staffer, Harry went on to become a “tree-hugging lefty“ who turned his back on royal traditions.
Moreover, royal expert Tom Quinn touches upon it in his latest book, Yes Ma’am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants. He claims that Meghan was widely blamed for “making the Duke of Sussex ‘too woke.‘” The commentator also highlights how Harry’s wife showed him the world beyond the strawberry one of the royals.
The Invictus Games founder was suddenly introduced to a world with real problems that needed attention. However, his closest friends couldn’t stand this new “woke“ version of him. One of the friends explained, “I can’t understand what Harry sees in her. She’s a tree hugger. She’s so woke.”
In addition, Quinn recounts one awkward moment when Meghan crossed paths with her husband’s school army friends. They gathered for a pheasant shoot at Sandringham but the meet-up did not go well. The Duchess reportedly felt disgusted by the humour of Harry’s friends.
The Royals Disapprove Harry’s New Woke Personality
They bluntly made jokes about sensitive topics that Meghan deeply cares about. Tom claims she “hated“ the entire event because Harry’s squad couldn’t care less about social activism and environmental consciousness. However, the royal prince has now shifted toward progressive causes.
While many people have praised the Duke for his newfound consciousness, the royal family is not buying it. A former palace claims that Harry was “one of the easiest and nicest people to work for.“ However, he became more vocal about social justice, equality, and minority rights after meeting Markle.
