Prince Harry and Meghan, 42, married in May 2018 but stepped back as members of the royal family in 2020.
The British Royal Family has removed from its official website Prince Harry’s 2016 statement in which he first confirmed that he was dating Meghan Markle. People reported this.
In November 2016, the Duke of Sussex issued a rare statement condemning the “wave of abuse and harassment” his fiancee suffered after news of their relationship became public.
This statement remained on the official website of the royal family for many years, but the link to it is no longer active. According to the source, the statement of the heir to the throne was deleted between December 3 and 10, 2023.
“His girlfriend, Meghan Markle, was subjected to bullying and harassment. Some of it was very public – libel on the front page of a national newspaper, racist undertones of comments, outright sexism … The some of which were hidden from the public – legal battles to ensure that defamatory articles did not enter his mother’s newspapers to a crowd of photographers to get to her door in the face of reporters’ attempts and photographer who illegally entered his home and the calls to the police that followed large bribes offered by newspapers to his ex-girlfriend; Harry’s press secretary said in a statement.
The statement also said the prince was concerned about Meghan’s safety and was deeply disappointed that he could not shield her from negativity: “It is fundamentally wrong that just months into their relationship Ms Markle has experienced such invasion. He knows that commentators will say that this is “the price he has to pay” and that “it’s all part of a game.”
In his memoirs, The Spare Duke of Sussex wrote that the announcement was “everywhere and without distinction – the pressure continued.” She added that the move also angered her father Charles and her brother Prince William. “Because they never make statements about their women when they are being harassed.”
It was previously reported that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle broke one of the main rules of royal protocol.
