The other day, the careless statement of the Archbishop of Canterbury - Justin Welby - about Meghan Markle caused a real storm on the Web. Welby, who had been friendly with Markle from the very beginning of Megan's accession to the royal family, decided to defend her. But he did it in such a way that he not only didn’t help the legitimate wife of Prince Harry, but also embarrassed all members of Elizabeth’s family.
Welby enjoys the exclusive trust of the queen and her relatives - it is he who traditionally holds all the most important ceremonies, including weddings and christenings, writes 7 Days. As for Markle, he became especially close to her when, in anticipation of her marriage to the prince, Harry was preparing her for a change of faith - a transition to the Anglican faith. And later, the archbishop also had the opportunity to talk a lot with Megan, because he was the one who held her wedding ceremony. He also baptized the son of the duchess - Archie. So Welby has every right to claim to be closely acquainted with the duchess.
The other day, the archbishop agreed to give an interview to BBC reporter Emma Barnett. In it, Welby declared: he warmly sympathizes with Markle. And, knowing her, he considers the attitude of the media towards her deeply unfair. After which I decided to state my point of view on what is happening to Megan, and what awaits her in the future.

“I was honored to be acquainted with members of the Queen's family. And, watching all of them, for a long time I admire their dedication to their work and sense of duty. However, as I know, they are all aware: their mission is actually a life sentence! ”Said Welby, meaning that they won’t be able to evade their role, even if they want to.
“For example, if one of them decides to abandon his public role and title, he still will not be able to disappear. Anyway, they will always follow him, as if such and such a former duke or duchess ... ”, the archbishop believes.

At the same time, in his words they saw a hint that even if Megan and Harry, indeed, decide, according to the gossips, to leave the royal family in order to live a “normal life” in America, this will not give them anything. The media, which Megan tearfully complained about in her television interview, will not leave her alone. Moreover, if Markle really wants to give birth to his second child in the United States, then she is unlikely to be allowed to raise him as a private person.

As for the reaction to Welby's statement, most fans of the royal family found his remark outrageous and tactless in relation to Elizabeth and her relatives. Most Web users did not understand why the archbishop needed to make this statement, because it, moreover, did not in the least ease the situation of Megan herself.
