Harry and Meghan Markle celebrate five years of marriage (and soon we will be able to “spy” them inside their home)

The prince prince Harry And Meghan Marklehusband and wife since May 19, 2018, celebrate five years of marriage. And a fairytale love (in the gallery under the best moments) born seven years ago from love at first sight: the former actress and the grandson of the queen they met in July 2016 on a blind date organized by a mutual friend. In the first interview released on TV after the announcement of the official engagement (in November 2017), the prince revealed: “I understood that Meghan would become my wife the first time we met”. Harry’s African proposal is also worthy of a fairy tale: in Botswanaunder a sky full of stars, the prince knelt in front of the actress giving her a ring obtained from a mom’s jewel Diana. The royal wedding took place in St George’s Chapel in Windsor, followed by over 100 million spectators around the world, on 19 May 2018.

Everything has changed since then. From family squabbles to sensational Megxitfrombombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey (in whom they tore the royal family to pieces) at various removals, the Sussex in recent years have been champions of transformation. For two years now their life has been in California because it is there, on the other side of the Atlantic and thousands of kilometers away from the Windsors, who have decided to rewrite their fairy tale (no longer royal) with their two children. Archie and Lilibeth Diana, the granddaughter who Elizabeth II he has never met (he will meet her in June, when the Sussexes with their children will return to the United Kingdom for the Platinum Jubilee).

Five years ago Harry and Meghan, just like princes and princesses from fairy tales, swore eternal love in a castle. Today royal palaces, castles and court obligations in their life no longer exist. Their love nest is a $ 14 million plus mansion in Montecito, where they are surrounded by Hollywood celebrities, and royal duties have been replaced by millionaire contracts with Netflix and Spotify. On the other hand, saying goodbye to the royal family, they have renounced a prerogative of about 680 thousand euros net a year. To live, therefore, they have to work (also because their expenses are monstrous). It was a few days ago that Netflix canceled due to budget problems Pearl, the animated series of the Duchess. On the other hand, the American streaming giant has been filming Sussex for months for a project that should see the light this year (concurrently, it seems, with book-bomb in which Harry will tell about his life in the royal family): a docuseries that shows them at work after the Megxit.

The couple was filmed at the Invictus Games in Holland, last April, and in several public outings in New York. Until now, however, their villa in Montecito had remained a sanctuary. And no one was surprised, given the Sussex’s obsession with privacy (also defended by legal battles against the press). But now against all odds Harry and Meghan as he reveals Page Six, they allowed Netflix to place cameras inside their home as well. A news that according to the British press has sown panic in Buckingham Palace: the Windsors in fact expect that the rebel dukes, in their new umpteenth version – in Kardashian style, it seems – will make new (poisonous) revelations about the royal family. Just what you don’t need in the year the Queen celebrates her Platinum Jubilee.
