Meghan Markle Threatened to Break Up with Prince Harry if He Didn’t Reveal Their Relationship
Meghan Markle allegedly gave Prince Harry an ultimatum while they were dating, threatening to end their relationship if he didn't publicly disclose their connection.
According to Valentine Lowe's upcoming book, Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown, Meghan demanded that Harry issue a statement confirming that she was his girlfriend and denouncing the media's overtly racist and sexist coverage.
Early on in their romance, Harry tried to protect Meghan by keeping her out of the spotlight, but she insisted on everyone knowing their relationship was sincere.
Meghan needed proof from the public that this was a committed relationship, and she was certain that the palace would not shield her from prying eyes.
She remarked, “I know how the palace works,” to Harry's staff.
Faced with hordes of journalists keen on combing through every area of Meghan's life, Harry became desperate to protect his fiancée.

In the meantime, Meghan warned him that she would end their relationship if he did nothing.
Harry was terrified and spoke with Jason Knopf, the communications secretary for Buckingham Palace, to release a statement confirming their relationship.
Since then, Archie, 3, and Lilbit, a one-year-old girl, have joined Meghan, 41, and Harry, 38.
The married couple recently appeared as a unified front while attending a number of memorial services for the late Majesty the Queen in the UK.
However, it is anticipated that the couple would return to the United States without a peace pact made.
Efforts have been made on both sides to sort things out, but there has been no genuine reconciliation.
As CBS' Gayle King remarked after the Queen's funeral outside Westminster Abbey, “Big families always experience drama, always experience strife.
What will happen is still to be seen.
Will they be drawn apart or will they be drawn closer together?”
Following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, questions are being raised about the Commonwealth's future.
According to a recent survey of Express.co.uk readers, King Charles III will keep the Commonwealth alive.
The Commonwealth, which now includes 56 countries and 2 billion people, was established in 1949 as a free and equal association of British possessions.
Only 14 Commonwealth realms remain monarchies today, since others have opted to become republics.
Barbados became the first nation to do so in nearly 30 years last year when it abolished a monarch as its head of state.
This has prompted other members to think about the role of the British monarchy in their nation, and as a result, Jamaica and Antigua and Barbuda have also announced that they will hold referendums on the subject.
Many readers believe that the Commonwealth will continue to function well under King Charles III.
According to one reader who went by the pseudonym Rasmitchell, “Yes, there is no reason why the Commonwealth shouldn't continue.
It is up to the individual nations to decide whether or not to participate.”
Another reader from Milton Keynes wrote, “I don't see why anything needs to change just because the Queen died.”
However, some believe that the Commonwealth would alter in the future.
Dr Miris Abaratnam, associate professor of international relations at Soho's London University, said in an interview with Sky News, “The royal family's place in the Commonwealth is not guaranteed.
I think that the Queen's death will give rise to thinking about a different form of organization if it truly survives.”
In conclusion, Meghan Markle's ultimatum to Prince Harry and the future of the Commonwealth are two significant topics of discussion in the royal world.
While the couple's relationship has been rocky, it remains to be seen whether they will be drawn apart or closer together.
As for the Commonwealth, it has undergone significant changes in recent years and may continue to do so in the future.
