MEGHAN MARKLE: THE AGONY OF AN UNWANTED PRINCESS.

In an interview granted to the BBC during their visit to Africa last summer, Meghan lamented that she was dying in silence inside the British royal family as an unwanted princess and that nobody ever cares to ask her how she was doing. In her own words, Meghan said, "I never thought it was going to be easy, but I thought it will be fair. Not many have asked me if I was ok. The good thing is that I got my baby and I got my husband, but I am not welcomed in England." 

With those words, a woman in agony finally broke her silence in a cry for help and announced to the world that she is living in bondage of royalty, unwanted, disliked and unwelcome. Put in another way, she said that she is tired of the facade and wants out. But will they just let her walk away in view of what happened to Lady Di; or will her husband Prince Harry be able to stick it out with her for as long as it takes for her to be accepted by the British people. Will Harry instead, take a cue from what happened to Fredo in The Godfather and understand that it is dangerous to take side with anyone against the family and return to his birth inheritance before it is too late. 

Although many would argue that Meghan is not just anyone but his wife, to which ICHEOKU counters that before Meghan, there was a family and she merely joined in. Blood is thicker than water and Meghan does not have royal blood coaxing through her veins. 

ICHEOKU says Meghan's interview was reminiscent of her mother in-law, the late Lady Diana's interview prelude to her divorce from husband Prince Charles and subsequent murder in Paris. Lady Di told the world of her anguish in the royal family, shedding light on the darkness that is the British royal family. She lamented being an unhappy woman in an unhappy marriage; and that her marriage was choked up, suffocated by a third party participant. Many people knew exactly who she was referring to as the third party, Mrs Parker Bowles, the lover of Prince Charles who he later married.  

While Lady Di's problem was marital infidelity of a lecherous husband who kept a mistress, Lady Meghan's problem appears to be a rejection and not being wanted in the palace nor accepted by the British people. It is therefore understandable that Prince Harry is worried  and expressed fear for his wife's safety and that Meghan might experience the same fatal, cruel fate which met his mother. ICHEOKU says his fear is palpable and it is not without reasonable basis, as Lady Di would still be alive today but for the conspiracy that eventually took her life. 

Meghan shares in the blame for not preventing or preparing for what she is now faced with. She entered into the boondoggle on her own volition, thinking that she can have her way and possibly change an institution which have lasted for thousands of years. But she rudely found out that the British monarchy is like a cult and demands total, absolute surrender and submission. Meghan was obsessively possessed with an opportunity at scoring a real life Prince but forgot that such usually comes with heavy burden, so she can cry ICHEOKU a river; tough luck.

She was so mesmerized by the allure of a real life Prince that the whirlwind romance got noticed by Prince Williams who warned his little brother Harry to slow it down and not to rush into something without first studying it carefully. But Prince Harry ignored the advise and took side with his newly found love against his only brother and proceeded to wed Meghan. It appears that Harry shared the counsel with his wife and her indignation at  William could be the genesis of the rift that eventually led to the falling out between the two formerly inseparable brothers. As is often the case, women hate family members of their husband who objected to their being married into their family. 

Meghan knew or should have known that she will not be welcome into the royal family. Harry also knew or should have known that his family will not and did not like his choice of a bride. A conflicted Harry however went rogue and decided to pitch his tent with Meghan against his family wishes. ICHEOKU says but is Meghan worth the trouble of Harry losing his family and peradventure, his royal inheritance. Unfolding events will soon reveal whether the decision Harry made was a wise one or a big fumble.

Meghan walked herself into the conundrum and should bear her present predicament with the equanimity of a gold digger, who finally got what she was looking for only to regrettably discover that all that glitters is not usually gold. She seems to have outsmarted herself in her quest to marry a prince and with it came the heavy load, which she now complains is too heavy for her fragile heart and slender shoulders to bear. What was she expecting will happen with all the baggage she brought with her into the royal family. Was she expecting a red carpet reception and not an inquest to find out how she bewitched Harry into wedding her. 

Now she understands how painful rejection is and exactly how her father felt being rejected by her. She shut him out from meeting his in-laws, uninvited him from her wedding and made him feel irrelevant, unwanted, useless, disposable and discarded. For Meghan, it seems that all that mattered to her was that she had captured a real life Prince. But karma is a bitch as she never knew that her tepid welcome in Britain had a very short expiration date. It did and she is now throwing her hands up in frustration in search of sympathetic ears and empathic mouths to ask her if she was ok? 

But she never asked her father if he was ok being shut out of his own daughter's wedding by his own daughter. She never gave a hoot about how her father felt, watching another man walk his own daughter down the aisle. She never cared how her father felt being denied the opportunity of a father and daughter first dance, making Mr Thomas Markle miss the eternal joy which came with it. Such a mean girl deserves no sympathy nor should she get one in her time of tribulation.

Meghan treated her father very poorly during her fairly tale crossover from a trailer park into royalty. Her current travail is possibly connected to it, evident that what goes around comes around. She should therefore deal with it in the same manner she expected her father to deal with the humiliation which she put him through during her wedding to Prince Harry. She wangled herself into the situation and now tangled, must find a way to untangle herself from the mess which she created. Nobody was consulted then by her before taking the plunge and nobody should be bothered now that she found out that she couldn't swim the tide. 

It necessarily followed that the royal family, like any other thinking family, wondered what manner of a woman would abandon her own family in a desperate bid to marry a Prince. How desperate could Meghan have been to allow another man, the father of her groom, to walk her down the aisle; when her own biological father was still alive and well, willing and able, ready and wanted to grace his daughter's wedding but was denied the opportunity. Thomas Markle had even fitted his tuxedo and was good to go but Meghan said no deal. 

Every well mannered girl dreams of the day her father would walk her down the aisle, but not Meghan. She lost the respect of every right thinking person from the way she treated her father and her apparent desperation in having another person's father walk her down the aisle. She was seen as a desperate woman who conned her way into the British royal family but she now feigns ignorance of why the Brits saw her as contrived, deceitful and manipulative and served her their cold dish of revenge.  

It is a fact that the closed off attitude of the British royal family did not help; begging the question why marry into it and if she must, why appear so desperate about it. How did she think the royal family and the British people would perceive or interpret her action, that she ensnared their prince and sacrificed her own father in the process. Why would Meghan ever think that Harry's people will be convinced that Prince Harry was not bewitched by her into marrying her. She is older than Harry; she is black; she is a foreigner; she was previously twice married and twice divorced; she is not virtuous for a prince, yet married a British Prince and in the manner she did it, but still delusional that she will be welcome and be a darling of the British people, really? 

There are certain things which are not amenable to sporadic change, such as thousands of years institution, especially not because a fully liberated American feminist gold digger said so or desired it. Meghan went about marrying Prince Harry the wrong way and in a manner that reeked of desperation. She lost the respect and regard of the royal family as well as many other discerning people by the way she treated her father and allowed another man to walk her down the aisle and also have the first dance with her, two honors reserved for any daughter's father, regardless.

Her action depicted her as an ill mannered lady, who was cruel to her father all in a desperate bid to get into a social status and circle where she does not belong. She was a  peasant without any pedigree whatsoever, who desperately sought a life of royalty. From how everything started, it became a question of if, but not when the sand castle she created will wash away with the tide of time. The current developments confirm that the Royal family have had enough of Meghan and are now ready to dump her; and if it means together with Harry, so be it. 

Her injury was self inflicted. She did not understand hierarchy. Instead of taking her place on the queue behind the future Queen of England and wife of William Kate Middleton, to understudy royal etiquette, mannerisms and courtesies, understanding that she is not and will never be the future queen of England and that Kate is her boss, she acted as if she should be the object of all attention and affection. She was rude to her palace assigned personal staff. She desperately wanted to displace Kate before the Queen with her affectations and came off as crude, rude, ill mannered, ill prepared and heavily deficient in royal mannerisms. 

The British monarchy is an enduring institution which have lasted for thousands of years, principally because there are rules of engagement governing its membership. The institution and its rules are strange to Meghan, the reason she brought on herself her current sadness, married into a royal family that did not want nor welcome her. Were ICHEOKU to advise Meghan, will recommend that she cut her losses and get the hell out of there before a suicide-triggering, manic depression sets in. She should get a divorce immediately as things will not get any better because certain things do not change. Alternatively, she should persuade Harry to renounce his prince-hood so that they can become commoners, not hemmed in by royal etiquettes. Thereafter, they can move on with their lives, weaned off the tentacles of the monarchy. But any other thing, including her current cry for help, will not a thing change. 

Meghan does not qualify to be a British princess, her general background considered. She also broke a palace rule by engaging in politics when she attacked President Donald John Trump, which forced the punch back harder president to Twitter-lash her as a nasty woman. She became known as a Princess Nasty Woman of the British royal family, a blemish which was a hard swallow for the Queen who became caught in a spat between the wife of her grandson and a president who she has a soft spot for.

So the crux of the matter was not necessarily that Prince Harry married a black woman, admitted the Brits would rather he had married an unblemished British white blonde from a British upper class family. The Brits are not mad because Harry married a foreigner but that he married a trailer-trash, uncouth divorcee, a desperado, who shamelessly begged another man to walk her down the aisle and give her away in marriage. Who does that and still expects the respect of the family she is married into or the wider British people. Most decent women would rather the wedding did not take place than bar her family members, particularly any of her parents, from attending, no matter the oddity of her family. 

People who have been paying attention to the odd couple that this day will come and that the unwanted Princess would soon outlive her tepid welcome. Her clock started ticking when she humiliated her father out from attending her wedding, which The manner in which Meghan humiliatingly treated her father during her wedding was the beginning of her unhappiness in Britain. People took note of it. Our Lord said to honor your father and mother that your days of happiness may be long; but unfortunately, Meghan did not heed Exodus 20:12 hence the shortness of her happiness in Britain. She is now frantically telling her sad tale as an unwanted gatecrasher into the British royal family in a desperate bid to  attract sympathy.  

ICHEOKU says as a general rule of the thumb, whenever a person speaks about their love life as "complicated", it is either non existent or is far from being the great fairy tale of bliss which they had expected going into the relationship. Meghan Markle is now feeling the blues and desperately seeking empathy, but she must first apologize to her father and ask for his forgiveness. What she did to her father was indeed heartless and despicable, that many people ares still incensed at her and she cannot get what she wants without first making amends.

Further, her misery was self inflicted as she does not belong in the royal Manor to begin with. She does not have the right pedigree nor was she tutored well to prepare her for such a high profile position that sometimes demands great stoicism. She is not a lady in the proper use of that term. She is an untamed, wild eyed, crazed out Hollywood feminist, who is not versed in royal etiquettes and does not know how to role play in a monarchy set up. She sees herself as a liberated feminist but forgot that such idiocy has no place in a traditional setting like a monarchy. 

It is unfortunate what is happening to Meghan but she brought it upon herself because of her obsession of royalty. She was so possessed with marrying a real life prince that even when her friends warned her not to do it, she ignored them and distanced herself from them. Now, realty has set in and it is all regrets. But unbeknownst to her, certain things do not change and the rules governing the British monarchy will not change just because Meghan Markle wished so. Her only choice, if it could still qualify as choice, is to either submit or be kicked out or as it now seems, simply walk away; ending her fairly tale adventure in Monarchy land. 

But the British monarchy is greater and bigger than Meghan Markle and have lasted for thousands of years before she crashed into it. It will continue to endure, with or without Meghan. It also will not bend over or break or succumb to Meghan. Prince Harry is fully aware of the preeminence of the monarchy but caused the rift anyway, when he veered off his destined path and married a woman with so much baggage. He must therefore make up his mind to either to go all out with Meghan by renouncing his royalty or cut his losses now by walking away from her and returning back to his inheritance just like the biblical prodigal son. 

Birds of the same plumage usually flock together, but there is nothing Harry has nor shares in common with Meghan, except single humanity and ICHEOKU says refuses to accept that it was a case of love conquers all. Rather it is a tragedy of a palace wrecker, who has put a wedge between formerly two inseparable brothers, two princes, who were joined at the hip by the tragedy of their mother's loss. What Diana put together, Meghan has pulled apart and put sunder. Now she wants to tear the palace down and bring the British Monarchy down as well. There are home wreckers and home breakers, but with Meghan, she is threatening to take the British Monarchy down. 

It depends on whether the Queen will act peremptorily to cut off Harry from his inheritance and thus deny Meghan the joy of taking down the British Monarchy; because she will if the opportunity ever avails her. But it appears the palace will readily sacrifice Harry if it forced to make the ultimate decision between choosing either him or the monarchy and the world is seeing its tell tale signs and flashing lights that the tense situation will soon come to a head. What a rebellious prince.
