If there was any doubt that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are living in a romance novel, then the couple’s latest move is all the confirmation that we’ll ever need.
ICYMI, Harry and Meghan basically quit the royal family with one Instagram post, in what seems to be an attempt to chase after the private life that they’ve always dreamt of.
‘After many months of reflection and internal discussions, we have chosen to make a transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution.
‘We intend to step back as ‘senior’ members of the Royal Family and work to become financially independent, while continuing to fully support Her Majesty The Queen’.
Just think about it. A literal prince meets a lovely lady without any royal background whatsoever. They get married. The unlikely relationship turns sour when fame and prestige become too much for the girl.
After a whirlwind of events, the couple ultimately decides that their love is what’s truly important, and bid ‘sayonara‘ to the glitz and glam for a simpler life.
Hell, even the way Harry and Meghan handled the announcement seemed taken straight out of Wattpad. They didn’t tell anyone about their decision, leaving the Palace reportedly shocked and upset.
Sure, they didn’t cheesily scream ‘I CHOOSE LOVE’ at the Queen’s face (or did they?), but hey, it’s pretty damn close.
