However, was leaving the royal family really the best option for Meghan and Harry? How could Megan's royal life have developed if this departure had not happened? Let's look at an example. Princess Sofia of Sweden has gone through the same predicament as Meghan. However, instead of distancing herself from royal life, Sofia took a different approach.
Sofia received a lot of criticism for her past before becoming a member of the royal family
Sofia and Meghan have quite a lot in common. They grew up in middle-class families in their respective countries - Sofia from Sweden and Meghan from the United States. They then both pursued careers in the entertainment industry.
While Meghan was an actress and starred in the TV series Force Majeure, Sofia was a member of the reality show. In 2005, she appeared in the Swedish version of the Paradise Hotel program. Sofia, in particular, was a model whose photographs were published in a men's magazine.
In 2010, it was announced that Sofia was dating Prince Carl Philip, the only son of the reigning king of Sweden. As happened with many women who had relationships with princes, Sofia's life was suddenly exposed by the press. Many people in the country criticized her harshly for not fitting into the traditional image of the prince's flawless girl.

However, in hindsight, Sofia shared that she hadn't thought about leaving the royal family.
"Not. Not really. I think I have found the right balance, and I really find it positive that I have been able to overcome these years. This is such a huge advantage since we have many opportunities, ”the princess admitted.
Although Sofia was not well known when the public first heard of her, over the years she has captivated people with her dedication to charity work in Sweden and around the world.

Critics believe Meghan Markle's life could be like Princess Sofia's
Royal experts suggest that Meghan could have gone the same way if she hadn't given up on royal life too soon.
