Their Relationship
“It was a buildup of frustration, I think, on his part. It was at a time where he was being told certain things by people within his office,” Harry stated.

“I was defending myself. And we moved from one room into the kitchen. And his frustrations were growing, and growing, and growing. He was shouting at me. I was shouting back at him. It wasn’t nice. It wasn’t pleasant at all. And he snapped. And he pushed me to the floor.”

Franich Point-of-View
It’s understandable to have mixed feelings about the decision made by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to step away as senior members of the British Royal Family and pursue financial independence.
On the one hand, it can be seen as a brave and self-aware move to prioritize their well-being and that of their family.
But it’s true that their decision has led to them becoming more closely associated with the “oligarchy” of celebrities and the entertainment industry, which may be seen as a departure from their previous roles as members of the royal family.
Ultimately, whether or not one views their decision as a positive or negative development is a matter of personal perspective.
It’s important to remember that the decision was likely not taken lightly, and that everyone has the right to make choices that are best for their own happiness and well-being.
