Her Roots
It’s good to keep in mind that Meghan Markle comes from such a drastically different background than the rest of the Royal Family. Even Kate Middleton was raised in an upper-class English family. Her jump into royalty wasn’t as challenging as it must be for Meghan.
Growing up with mixed-race, divorced parents in the United States taught Meghan how to stand up for herself. She’s been a liberal, independent thinker for a very long time now. Those very ideals might be the reason she has her clashes with the Royals.
American Feminist
One ideal that set Meghan apart from the rest of the traditional Royal Family is her feminism. Ever since she was young, Meghan took it upon herself to help with advancing the cause of women’s rights.
When she was only 11 years old, she was able to convince a dish soap company to change their slogan which she felt was unfair. Ever since then, the cause has been close to heart and she’s given multiple speeches and held several positions in which she advocated for equality.
