More could have been done. That’s what actress Jodie Turner-Smith says about the royal family and how they could have put in more effort to protect Meghan Markle while she was still a full-time working member of the royal family.
The actress, who is best known for her role in Anne Boleyn, recently called out the royal family over their treatment of the Duchess of Sussex and how the monarchy could have done more to protect her.
Jodie made the comments during an appearance on Good Morning Britain on Wednesday. She said that the royals had a perfect opportunity to prove to the world that they are up with the times, but decided to ignore Meghan Markle’s struggles both with the British press and with some of the things that were going on behind closed doors.
Actress Jodie Turner-Smith Says The Royal Family Should Have Protected Meghan Markle From Racists
She said, “There’s a lot of resistance to new things that can push that institution forward in a way that more represents the world today. I think they could have looked at this marriage and that relationship as a way to evolve and could have embraced it and embraced her fully, and protected her, and protected their son in a way that made him feel like he didn’t need to leave.”
Meanwhile, in his new Apple Plus series, The Me You Can’t See, Prince Harry told Oprah Winfrey that because he felt trapped within his own family, he started therapy sessions after his wife Meghan Markle had suggested it.
Harry also said that when Meghan began struggling with the pressures of royal life, the rest of the monarchy turned a blind eye.
“I thought my family would help, but every single ask, request, warning, whatever, it is just got met with total silence, total neglect,” Harry revealed. “We spent four years trying to make it work. We did everything that we possibly could to stay there and carry on doing the role and doing the job. But Meghan was struggling.”
