The tired narrative that Prince Harry is Meghan Markle's puppet has reared its ugly head yet again, but the Prince Harry is hitting back.
The second half of Harry and Meghan’s documentary dropped this week and with it, a whole bunch of scandalousabout the reality of royal life. The couple hit back at various rumours that circulated about them in the tabloid press in recent years, picking apart the racism and sexism that underpins much of the coverage. One of the most notable? The idea the Harry is ‘Meghan’s puppet.’
'I've seen little cartoons of me on all fours with her holding a dog lead and me wearing a dog collar,' Harry explains. 'How predictable that the woman is to be blamed for the decision of a couple. In fact, it was my decision, she never asked to leave. I was the one that had to see it for myself, but it's misogyny at its best.'
It might be hard to imagine her predicament when royal life is so far from our own, but the puppet narrative in general is relatable for all women. ‘In any relationship, often times, when a guy falls in love with a girl his buddies will be like “Oh my God, he changed. I don’t see him anymore, he’s always with her!” and you blame the girl,’ Meghan explains.
Haven’t we all been there? One second, you’re being introduced to his friends as a prized trophy they can’t believe he ‘won’, the next second they're scolding you in the group chat because he dares to spend his Saturdays with you. Suddenly, the man that was one impressive just for courting you is being infantilised, incapable of making any decisions about how he spends his time, just by virtue of being with you.
