The headline from Usa Today on the Yahoo! website reads, "Thomas Markle: Prince Harry, daughter Meghan 'cheapening' royal family. The headline is making it sound as if her father does not approve of what she is doing by her exit of royal life. I feel by exiting royal life Meghan Markle is giving value to people whose lives are not royal. By leaving royal life she is effectively saying her life is going to be just as good or even better by not being a royal. She still plans to do charity work and attend public events and be productive. Her children were not going to wind up as Kings anyway but by exiting royalty she is making all members of her family equal! Her own mom is as important as the queen. Her son will not have to consider himself not as important as Prince William's children.
Another concept of what they are achieving by exiting royal life is they are breaking a generational curse. The media has talked about through the years the unhappiness Princess Diana endured from treatment from the royals and the media. In order to keep the same thing from happening to another generation the way of doing things has to be changed.
It is also a good example of how the Millennials are trying to make good choices for themselves in order to be happy. The Millennial attitude is people wanting control of their own lives. People do only get one life to live on this earth so that is a good thing being able to make their own decisions.
In general it is also a Christian concept that all human life is equal and no one is more valuable then any one else. It is also an American concept that all people are equal. Americans fought a war to get their freedom from royalty.
Technically Meghan's family is still royal as they are biologically related to official English Royals. Her and Harry are still also rich and famous. These factors mean not that much is technically going to change in their life in a lot of ways. They still will have an abundance of good opportunity and plenty of things they can possess. I still think Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are remarkable for exiting the royals. In fact I would like to say this by telling her, "You go girl!"
