After announcing they will be stepping back as 'senior' royals, Meghan and Harry have found themselves in a mess with the public scrutiny going both ways. Meghan has reportedly flown back to Canada to be with her son Archie who was staying with a friend. Harry was also supposed to follow his wife to North America but seems to be staying the U.K. to do damage control amid their announcement. 

According to the Mail Online, Meghan flew back to Canada to be with Archie, although it was planned for Harry to follow but has an official engagement at Buckingham Palace next week. 

Royal correspondent Jonny Dymond for BBC News wrote on social media that Buckingham Palace felt 'blindsided' by the news. A palace source told Dymond, "senior members of the Royal family feel “hurt” by the announcement that Harry and Meghan are to withdraw from their current Royal roles. The source confirmed that no members of the royal family were consulted."

Meghan is reported to be staying abroad for a while Harry sorts out the storm with the royal family. The Mail reports that the queen is trying to come up with a sufficient solution for the unhappy pair. Sources said some options see the Duke and Duchess keeping their titles while also enjoying independence. 

The Queen released a statement understanding Meghan and Harry's "desire to take a different approach." However, they have said the details have yet to be sorted. The statement reads as per the Mirror: "Discussions with The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are at an early stage. We understand their desire to take a different approach, but these are complicated issues that will take time to work through."

Mehgan has faced unfair scrutiny from the English press which has led her and her husband to take legal action against certain tabloids stated on their official website. She expressed gratitude towards a reporter’s concern during the “Harry & Meghan: An African Journey" documentary.

“Thank you for asking because not many people have asked if I’m okay, but it’s a very real thing to be going through behind the scenes," Meghan said. 

Harry also released a statement last year towards the public condemning the “ruthless campaign” against his wife by the British tabloid press, drawing comparisons to his late mother Diana, Princess of Wales.
