Grunewald claims the couple has isolated themselves and failed to live up to their projected image
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle transitioned from royal life in the United Kingdom to private life in the United States a few years ago. However, the couple remains a constant subject of public and media scrutiny. Their departure, famously referred to as Megxit, continues to fuel discussions among royal commentators and documentarians alike.
The couple, often described as a pseudo-royal couple, is now the focus of an upcoming German documentary. Ulrike Grunewald, the documentary’s director, shared her perspective on the couple’s post-royal life, raising questions about their image and integration into their new environment.
In an interview with The Daily Mail, Grunewald remarked on the couple’s apparent struggle to settle into life in Montecito, California. “They have isolated themselves,” she stated, adding that they have not “lived up to the image” they once portrayed.
The move to the United States was initially seen by many as a fresh start for the couple. Supporters believed it would provide a more supportive environment, given their claims of mistreatment as senior royals. However, Grunewald’s comments suggest that the transition has been far from smooth.
Prince Harry has faced ongoing rumors regarding his visa status in the United States. Speculation about potential deportation has been fueled by his past disclosures about drug use, including in his memoir Spare.
These claims echo the couple’s longstanding concerns about security and privacy. Harry and Meghan have repeatedly talked about safeguarding their family, particularly in light of what they describe as a lack of support from the royal institution. In their high-profile interviews, they have stressed their priority: "protecting their peace."
The Sussexes have encountered mixed reactions on both sides of the Atlantic. While they initially found a strong fanbase in the U.S., public opinion has shifted following a series of controversies, including failed business ventures and criticized media appearances.
Despite the challenges, some commentators suggest that Harry and Meghan’s decision to remain relatively private may be intentional. Their pursuit of privacy aligns with the reasons behind their departure from the royal family, which Meghan has described as necessary for their well-being.
Grunewald’s observations and the continued public interest in the couple’s lives shed light on the complexities surrounding their post-royal journey. Whether the Sussexes’ isolation is a choice or a consequence of circumstances, their story continues to captivate people worldwide.
