Prince William and Meghan Markle: Royal Drama, Tantrums, and the Struggle for Power
In the ever-tumultuous world of the British royal family, new drama seems to unfold at every turn. The latest headline, claiming that Prince William “obliterated” Meghan Markle and that she threw a “tantrum fit,” is just the latest in a long line of sensational tabloid stories. According to the headline, Meghan is allegedly furious after hearing William assert his rightful place as the next monarch, with the added claim that she “threw a tantrum” because she believed her husband, Prince Harry, should have a role in ruling the country. But how much of this is rooted in reality, and how much is just the product of the royal drama machine?
To begin with, there’s no concrete evidence to suggest that Prince William publicly “obliterated” Meghan Markle in any way. While it’s true that Meghan and Prince William’s relationship has been strained, especially since Harry and Meghan stepped away from royal duties, it’s important to separate fact from tabloid gossip. In this supposed incident, the claim that Meghan is throwing a tantrum about the crown being William’s by right is equally unverified. The notion that Meghan is upset over Harry’s lack of a future role in the monarchy is a dramatic take on what is likely a much more nuanced situation.
One thing is certain, though — Prince William’s position as heir apparent to the British throne is indisputable. The line of succession is clear, and unless a radical change in the monarchy were to occur, William will become king one day, likely after the passing of his father, King Charles III. The royal family, for all its internal conflicts, knows that the future of the monarchy is a matter of tradition and duty, not personal disputes.
Meghan Markle, on the other hand, has repeatedly expressed her frustrations with the royal family and her perceived role within it. Since stepping back from royal duties in 2020, she and Harry have been vocal about their desire for a more private life, but have also continued to engage with the media, leading to ongoing scrutiny. The couple has faced significant public backlash, but also support from those who sympathize with their decision to break away from the royal spotlight. However, the idea that Meghan is throwing a fit over the throne being William’s is an oversimplification of the situation.
The royal family has always been steeped in duty, tradition, and, unfortunately, power struggles. Meghan’s position as the wife of Prince Harry — a family member who is not in line to inherit the throne — has left her in a complicated spot. Her voice within the royal family has been overshadowed by those who occupy higher positions in the line of succession, like Prince William, his children, and other senior royals. While Meghan might express dissatisfaction with her treatment within the family, especially as it relates to her place in the media’s gaze, the notion that she is throwing tantrums over the crown is speculative at best.
