Allegations of racism

In early 2020, Meghan and Harry announced their resignation from their royal duties and went to North America, saying they were unbearable from British media intrusions and racist attitudes. They live in Montecito, near Santa Barbara, California.

Last year, Meghan revealed that she had an abortion in July 2020, giving personal experience of the traumatic experience in hopes of helping others.

A few months before she had an abortion, Harry said the royal family had cut it financially after announcing plans to withdraw from its roles in early 2020.

But he was able to pay his family security for the money left by his mother, Princess Diana.

In an interview with Winfrey, Meghan said she was worried that her son would not have a royal title because he would not be given security. She said it was “very hard” to digest everything when she was pregnant.

More than the title of “prince,” he was concerned with the safety and protection of his son.

Meghan also revealed that it was hard for her to understand why there were concerns in the royal family about her son’s skin color. He said it was difficult to “compartmentalize” those conversations.
