Meghan Markle Should Be In ‘Probation Period’ After Breaking This Royal Protocol

Meghan Markle should have been put through a probation period.

Just a few months after officially joining the royal family, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex made their first official overseas tour where they visited Ireland. The tour didn’t go as smoothly as expected because while attending a garden party at the British Ambassador’s residence, the former “Suits” actress reportedly discussed the country’s referendum on abortion with Catherine Noone, a senator of the Fine Gael political party.

“The Duchess and I had a chat about the recent referendum result — she watched with interest & was pleased to see the res,” Noone wrote in a since-deleted tweet.

She added that Markle was pleased with what she saw and insisted that Prince Harry’s wife was “interested and very measured, not political at all.”

However, in the 2018 documentary “Meghan and Harry: The First 100 Days,” royal correspondent Daniel Devane felt that what Markle did was a breach of royal protocol. He noted that what the duchess did should not happen in the royal family.

“Royal members should not be getting involved in politics,” he insisted.

Meanwhile, social commentator Nathan Caton understood Markle. According to him, the pregnant royal should be given a “break” as she is just new in the royal family. He suggested that one considers it a “probation period.”

Steering clear from politics might be a bitter pill to swallow for Markle as she was known for being a political activist. In 2016, she announced that she would move to Canada if “misogynistic” Donal Trump would become the U.S. president. On the same year, she used her celebrity status to back Hillary Clinton’s presidential candidacy.

According to royal biographer Katie Nicholl, Markle should indeed keep herself away from politics otherwise she would be in “hot water.” The “Harry: Life, Loss and Love” author pointed out that there’s no problem with Markle speaking out on feminism and social justice and equality issues but should remain “politically neutral” just like Queen Elizabeth II.

In related news, Markle might welcome her baby sooner than expected. According to the recent betting odds, chances are high that Prince Harry’s wife will deliver her baby this week.
