November 8th 2016

Notes: On November 8th 2016, Kensington Palace confirmed that Harry and Meghan were dating as they issued a statement calling for an end to the racist and sexist harassment of Meghan. Meghan had been subjected to abuse and harassment in the national press, across social media and on web article comments ever since the couple were pictured together. At this time, Harry was worried about Meghan's safety and didnt appreciate the press commenting on their every move.

"It is not right that a few months into a relationship with him that Ms. Markle should be subjected to such a storm."

Notes: Shortly after, Prince William supported the privacy of his brother Harry against the ongoing harassment of Meghan. This shows us that he understood at this early stage in their relationship how uneasy Harry and Meghan felt by the comments made towards them and Harry felt so strongly to protect her from any unwanted negative press or hatred.

Keeping 'As low-key as possible'

Harry and Meghan pictured at a dinner date

Notes: Harry and Meghan were pictured at a dinner date in London. One person suggested that the couple were trying to keep as low key as possible. In photos of the couple, Harry was wearing a beanie and Meghan wore a winter coat, which could suggest them wanting to remain unseen, unnoticed and to fit in with the public as they didn't want to bring any more negative media attention towards themselves. They clearly hated the attention brought onto them by the media and wanted their own sense of privacy.

'Excited to meet eachother'

Notes: In January 2019, Meghan met Kate and Charlotte. Both Kate and Meghan were reportedly excited to meet each other however what is often not spoken of is the amount of secrecy that occurred, with minimal public attention being brought to it which further supports Harry and Meghan's views of not wanting their lives spread across the front pages of the national newspapers.

Meghan speaks publicly for the first time

Notes: On September 5th 2017, Meghan spoke out publicly for the first time. She expressed the support that Harry had provided her throughout all of the negative media attention that had surrounded her. This speech came nearly a year after the couple had been confirmed to be dating, showing how discomforted she had become because of the constant abuse.

Intrusive and unlawful publications of private letters

Branded

'Royal Hypocrites'

Harry issues a statement blasting the tabloid newspapers.

Notes: Nearly a year and a half had passed since Harry and Meghan had shown their last outcry at the media and press and in this time they had married and welcomed their first born child Archie. However throughout this time the racism, sexism and abuse didnt stop and on October 1st 2019, Harry issued a personal statement addressing the tabloid newspapers being witness to Meghan's private suffering for too long. At this time, Meghan also filed lawsuits against multiple newspapers regarding intrusive and unlawful publications of private letters to deliberately publish false and derogatory stories about both her and her husband. This shows that they had endured years of hatred and they were reaching breaking point.

Deliberately publishing false and derogatory stories.

Harry: 'there really was no other option'

https://metro.co.uk/2020/01/08/meghan-harry-step-back-senior-royals-shock-announcement-12026042/

Notes: On January 18th 2020, Harry and Meghan announced that they would be stepping back as 'senior' members of the Royal Family. They described hoping for a more peaceful life suggesting that this decision will hopefully free them from all of the negative media attention that they have received ever since they became a couple. The media over the years have influenced this decision massively as it was their constant battering of abuse and harassment towards Meghan that ultimately led to Harry wanting to protect her and live a much more private, happy life.
