The result is almost 38,000 characters. Meghan Markle’s face is the new cover of The Cut magazine and her ideas, considerations and memories of her time as a high-ranking member of the British royal family are the highlights of the autumn edition of the American publication, part of the New Yorker — and that also includes a great photographic production with the former actress. The journalist who led the interview was Allison P. Davis, who had the opportunity to enter the Montecito mansion in southern California, where the Duke and Duchess of Sussex live with their two children, Archie and Lilibet, and thus observe This is your new world. Between the effect of the tabloids, the permanence of responsibility that comes with a status that is no longer yours, and the ability to forgive, we have put together the six main points of what is the first major interview on behalf of Meghan Markle, in 2022 . .

Will Meghan Markle return to Instagram?

“I’m back on Instagram.” It was the first news that Meghan Markle shared with journalist Allison P. Davis and the starting point for the Duchess of Sussex to talk about her relationship with online platforms, as well as the rules implemented in the royal family for use. her. When she joined the royal family, the Duchess of Sussex could no longer freely use social media, she used to share images of her daily life, she had even signed a lifestyle blog, The Tig. “It was a big adjustment, a big adjustment to go from that kind of autonomy to a different life,” she reflected.

With the entry into the British monarchy, Prince Harry’s wife appeared only in accounts controlled by royalty (including Kensington Royal, where she shared the limelight with Kate Middleton and Prince William). “There is literally a structure that you have to go through if you want to post photos of your child. As a family member, we first have to deliver them to Royal Rota [os correspondentes da família real]she said, revealing that these images were often published first by the media, including tabloids that denigrated her.

According to Markle, this made the couple uncomfortable: “Why would I give the same people who call my son the ‘N’ word? [alusão a um termo racista] your photo before you can share it with the people who love you?

Later in the interview, Meghan Markle considers that it may still be too soon to return to the online universe on her own behalf.

Will the Sussex love story be the new Netflix documentary?

There are differences between a historical documentary and a real documentary, highlighted Meghan Markle. The consideration arose over the possibility that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are producing content with Netflix about their history as a couple.

Was a neem: Meghan didn’t say yes, but she didn’t say no either. She praised working with director Liz Garbus and left some ideas up in the air. “When the media shapes the story around you, it’s great to be able to tell it yourself,” she said. “The part of my life that I couldn’t share, that people couldn’t see, is our love story,” she says, alluding to her relationship with Prince Harry.

Then he recalls part of his wedding speech, in which he concluded that “above all, love wins.” That is the feeling you want to generate, whatever the form of the content that will be born with it. transmission:: “I hope that this is how people feel when they see any content or project we are working on”.

Even after shedding the role of princess, Meghan still feels the weight of status.

Meghan Markle shares with Davis that she is still aware of the impact of her “princess role” and that when she appears in public, she is always aware of it. “It’s important to think about this because even in Oprah’s interview [Winfrey]I was aware of the fact that there are girls who are like, ‘Oh my gosh, she’s a real-life princess.’

His desire is to convey the idea that it is possible to have ambitions greater than this status: “I just look at all of them and think: you have within you the power to create a life greater than any fairy tale. . I don’t want this to mean ‘one day you can also marry a prince’, but ‘one day you can find love, you can find happiness, you can face what seems to be the biggest obstacle and find happiness again’.

The difficulty of “fitting in” with the royal family

Meghan Markle shared in this conversation the well-known difficulties of being a member of the British royal family, considering that being an American was an obstacle, not necessarily a black American, she pointed out.

At first, she assumed the role of princess, as she would any other leading lady assigned to her in an acting job. “I was an actress,” she noted. “My whole job was ‘tell me where to stand, tell me what to say, tell me how to say it, tell me what to wear and I’ll do it.’ And she would show up earlier and probably cook something for the team.’”

Here it will have been different. According to Davis, “her desire for him to ask a lot of questions and never get involved in anything he couldn’t participate in seemed to violate an unspoken social norm.”

Meghan and Harry would have gone to any Commonwealth country to avoid profiting from UK taxpayers’ money and escape the tabloids.

Desperate to evade tabloid attacks, Meghan shared that the couple were willing to move to any Commonwealth country and continue to work as royals, but no longer benefit from UK taxpayers, under the appearance of “public interest” was one of the arguments. which justified the scrutiny of her private life in the media.

“Anything… just by existing we were upsetting the dynamics of the hierarchy. So we were leaving. That is good for us. Happy with it,” he said. The Duchess of Sussex added that moving to another Commonwealth country would not be new for members of the royal family. “It wasn’t about inventing the wheel,” she said. But they couldn’t get this deal: “This, for some reason, was not allowed to us, even though other members of the royal family had done the exact same thing.”

When asked why they were denied that possibility, Meghan repeated the question again, but in the face of the journalist’s silence, she only said: “I don’t know.”

There is room to forgive the royal family, but the Duchess of Sussex is still ‘healing’

Meghan never had to sign any document prohibiting her from talking about the royal family. “I can speak from all my experience and I chose not to. Because? “I’m still healing,” he replied to the journalist.

Despite the hurt, Meghan stresses that there is room for forgiveness between her, the royal family and her biological family. “I think forgiveness is very important. Not forgiving takes a lot more energy,” she said. “But it takes a lot of effort to forgive. I really made an active effort, especially knowing that I can’t say anything.”

Harry’s wife fell silent, smiled and finished: “I have a lot to say until I don’t. You like that? Sometimes, as they say, the silent part is still part of the song.”
