19 May 2018, just over a year ago, 33-year-old Prince Harry and 36-year-old American actress Megan Markle got married in the UK.
Initially, the royal court was against this marriage: 92-year-old Queen Elizabeth II particularly resented, writes lady.mail.ru. She believed that the grandson can not marry a girl who grew up outside high society. We tell how the life of Megan Markle, who has stepped into the royal chambers literally from the set, has changed in a year.
Megan Markle received the jewels of Princess Diana
The queen was against the marriage of her grandson, Prince Harry, also because his beloved had already been married. Megan is older than Harry by three years and she is divorced. The first husband of the actress - director Trevor Engelson, with whom she lived together for about ten years.
Nevertheless, Prince Harry was adamant. After Kensington Palace officially recognized the romance between Harry and Meghan in 2016, the prince urged the media to stop pursuing Megan. Harry is the youngest son of Prince of Wales Charles and Princess Diana. It was the journalists who persecuted Diana who were indirectly accused of her death. The princess died in a car accident in 1997 year - according to one of the versions, she tried to escape from the paparazzi pursuing her. Harry remembered all this and was determined not to allow journalists to interfere in his personal life.

One of the first acquisitions of Megan Markle in the role of the royal bride was a ring with three diamonds. The prince gave it to Megan for engagement. Harry himself designed the ring and decorated it with two diamonds taken from the collection of his late mother, Lady Diana.
Megan Markle got the title
Prince Harry carries the title of Duke of Sussex, Earl of Dumbarton, and Baron Kilkeel. It should be addressed as follows: "His Royal Highness, Duke of Sussex, Count Dumbarton, Baron of Kilkeel." With the wedding, Megan Markle received a similar title. Now she is called: "Her Royal Highness, Duchess of Sussex."
Megan Markle moved to Kensington Palace
Kensington Palace - a network of palace buildings in the western part of London. It began to be built at the beginning of the 17th century, and now several members of the royal family live here or are visiting, including the elder brother of Prince Harry William and his wife, Kate Middleton. The queen herself lives in Buckingham Palace, the official residence of the British monarchs.
After the wedding, Harry and Megan occupied the cottage in Kensington Palace. It was here that the prince once made his lover an offer. The cottage itself is called rather modest. It has two bedrooms, two reception rooms, a bathroom and a small garden where Prince Harry set up a hammock.
Megan Markle gave birth to an heir
The son of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle was born on May 6. He was named Archie Harrison Mountbatten Windsor. Archie is a short name from Archibald. British media reports that the royal court expected a more traditional name. Usually their descendants are named after their ancestors. Although, they clarify that there was only one Archibald on the line of Princess Diana - Archibald Campbell, the 9th Earl of Argyll from Scotland.
The heir will have to join the battle for the "iron throne"
Formally, the son of Megan Markle has very little chance to sit behind the royal throne. Before him, six people stand in line for the right to become king of Great Britain, including his own father. In this case, even the prince boy can not be. At birth, he received the title of Lord Mountbetten-Windsor. At the same time, according to the media, even by decree of King George V (he lived at the turn of the XIX — XX centuries), the number of people who can bear the title of prince is limited. Only the acting queen will be able to assign him to the boy by special order.
However, as long as it does not upset neither Megan Markle herself, nor her husband. They have already admitted that they do not have big ambitions regarding the royal future of their son. However, history knows a lot of turns in the struggle for power. And, perhaps, the boy himself, when he grows up, will think differently.
The journalist was fired for saying about his son Megan
BBC journalist Danny Baker lost his job for a joke about a newborn royal baby, son Megan and Harry. Baker tweeted a picture of a couple holding chimpanzees. He signed the picture: "The royal infant left the maternity hospital."

The joke caused a great resonance. She was considered mocking: it is known that Megan Markle's mother is African American. Later, the journalist himself reported that he was fired from the BBC Radio 5 Live radio station. Baker himself apologized: in his words, he did not even think that his post could cause such associations. “As soon as the kind people indicated to me possible shades of meaning, I understood everything. That's all that happened ... Comic picture. Overdressed chimpanzee. I was given to understand. I was terrified. Erased I apologized, ”the newspaper Gazeta.ru quotes Baker as saying.
