Why does Meghan Markle get all the blame? (opinion)
CNNEditor’s Note: Peggy Drexler is a research psychologist and the author of “Our Fathers, Ourselves: Daughters, Fathers, and the Changing American Family” and “Raising Boys Without Men.” She is at work on a book about how women are conditioned to compete with one another. CNN — Prince Harry and Meghan, The Duchess of Sussex, have announced they’re stepping back from — and essentially quitting — their roles as senior members of the royal family. Not according to the popular British media, which has put the “blame” for the exit — disdainfully dubbed by some as “Megxit” — squarely on Meghan, just as it’s blamed her for everything else that they grouse has gone royally wrong since she came into the picture. And, the tabloids would have us believe, Harry has reportedly deserted all his old friends and become “more private and withdrawn” to spend more time with Meghan’s “Hollywood friends.” Inside the Royal family CNN’s new Original Series goes inside the story of the world’s most famous Royal family. Quoting “a source,” Page Six reports that Meghan has “taken total control” of Prince Harry’s life, as if he weren’t a grown man and former captain of the British army.
