My thoughts on Harry and Meghan's 'Megxit'

The world was recently stunned by the news of Prince Harry of Sussex and his new wife Meghan Markle supposedly "leaving" the royal family to pursue a more family-oriented, casual life in Canada. Many people took to the internet quickly to claim their opinions on the matter and state whether they approve or disapprove of the change made by the couple who are parents to young Archie. In reality, the people who matter in this type of situation, such as Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton, and the Queen of England herself, agreed to the matter after a long family deliberation and wished them well in their new adventure. 

Another member of the family has claimed her allegiance to the pair by speaking out in support of their decision. Christina Oxenberg of Yugoslavia is second cousins with Prince Charles, William and Harry's father. In an interview with Fox News, she said “I think that Harry and Meghan are doing the right thing...I think the entire family is moving as one and embracing modernity." Her support stems from the idea that Harry and Meghan are making choices for themselves and the betterment of their family, and this is a bold yet pivotal choice for someone of the royal family to make. 

Oxenberg's position on the matter is most interesting to me based on her thoughts and relevance to the family. Her willingness to come forth and speak on the customs and traditions of such a well-known and deep-rooted dynasty is exactly what was needed to be heard by the public. Because of the fact that she is further from the situation, I believe she felt safe and confident in stating her thoughts on how this is a necessary step towards modernity that the royal family should be making. 

Harry's previously rocky relationship with his father Prince William should now have the ability to grow and heal thanks to the time apart that they will be spending from each other. Similarly, he'll now have the chance to find his true identity and show the world the sides of himself that he has been forced to hold back due to the strict rules of the dynasty. Truthfully, I think that this separation is exactly what the throne needs and will be a way for society to grow closer to the family as a whole.
