In 2020, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry left the royal family and turned to the entertainment industry for refuge and financial mobility.

Sarah Ferguson published a series of books about her life.

"The thing that really riles Meghan is that Fergie pops up on things like the ITV daytime show This Morning, Loose Women and billing herself as the Duchess of York, selling books and possibly doing adverts all under the royal family," royal commentator Neil Sean said in a YouTube video. "Meghan and Harry seemingly don't understand why it's a different rule for her."

Although Sarah Ferguson continues to live with Prince Andrew after their divorce and publishing a book, the Sussexes were evicted from Frogmore Cottage, and their reputation in America slowly began to crumble.

The Duchess of York found success with her memoir My Story, but the former royal focused on her relationship with the British press instead of her in-laws.

“Harry and Meghan want to go in a different direction. They’ve said what they needed to say with regard to the royals,” the source stated. “They’re moving on.”

“There’s this perception that Harry and Meghan have been snubbed in the entertainment industry,” they continued. “But the way they see it, they’re choosing quality over quantity instead of grabbing every opportunity that comes their way.”
