Royal Clash: How Prince Edward's Past Foreshadowed Harry & Meghan’s ‘Megxit’
Royal Scandal: The Surprising Connection Between Prince William's University Years and Harry & Meghan's Royal Exit
It's a little-known fact that even before Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's dramatic departure from the royal fold, another prince attempted to navigate the treacherous waters of combining commercial interests with royal duties. But what happened next will leave you shocked!
In 2001, Prince William was just starting his university years at St Andrews, and the media frenzy surrounding him was immense. However, a surprise twist emerged when it was revealed that Prince Edward's production company, Ardent, had broken the press embargo to film footage for an American TV series about royalty.
Katie Nicholl, royal author extraordinaire, spilled the tea in her book: "After all the fuss that had been made about protecting William from the media, it was a member of the Royal Family, his uncle, who had broken the rules. The British press could barely contain their glee."
The Palace was left looking sheepish as Prince Charles reportedly blew his top over the incident, calling Edward a "f*ing idiot" and demanding he leave the area. Edward's wife, Sophie, apologized to Charles personally for the embarrassment.
Fast-forward 20 years, and it seems that this very same lesson learned by the Royal Family played a significant role in Harry & Meghan's decision to step down as working royals. According to royal author Valentine Low, the couple's desire to "earn money for themselves" ultimately led them to abandon their duties entirely.
But what's even more jaw-dropping is the revelation that Meghan's ambition knows no bounds! Sources close to the former Suits actress claim she hopes to become a billionaire by launching her own media empire and entrepreneurial ventures.
Meanwhile, Harry seems focused on his charity work, but insiders say he's planning to launch his own commercial venture in the near future. It's clear that these two are determined to make their mark outside of royal protocol!
Edward, on the other hand, has seemingly learned from his predecessor's mistakes. After stepping down from Ardent, he's become one of the most valuable members of the Royal Family, with patronage over 70 charities and organizations.
As the Duke of Edinburgh, Edward also enjoys patronage of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award, a prestigious program that recognizes young people for their community service and personal development. It seems that Prince Edward has finally found his calling as a respected member of the Royal Family!
But what about Harry & Meghan? Will they ever find their place in the world outside of royal protocol? The scholarly note.com can't help but wonder...
