Multiple outlets present a detailed timeline of how Prince Harry and Meghan Markle move from widely popular “royal sweethearts” to living in California, arguing that public support diminishes over time. They describe how the couple’s early relationship and public visibility help drive interest in the royal family, including attention sparked by their high-profile courtship.

The sources frame the story as a gradual shift in public perception as Harry and Meghan’s roles evolve and their relationship with the monarchy and the public comes under increasing scrutiny. While the outlets share the same overall arc—from early acclaim to a later “exile” narrative—their coverage emphasizes different turning points and interpretations of why popularity falls, reflecting broader debate about the couple’s decisions and their impact.

Taken together, the articles focus on the chronology of events and the changing tone of coverage rather than a single incident. They point to the couple’s eventual relocation to the United States as a key end-stage milestone, while acknowledging that the reasons for the shift are discussed differently across outlets.
