Hey there, let’s talk about Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex. Poor thing, she’s allegedly been told she can’t run in the London Marathon in April 2019. According to Radar Online, the royal family thinks it wouldn’t be fitting for Prince Harry’s wife to participate in the event. Can you believe that? They think it would be “unseemly” for her to be out there, sweating it out with the rest of the world.
Meghan, who’s 37 years old at the time, isn’t taking this lightly. This woman values her freedom more than anything, and she was really hoping to participate in the marathon. Why? Well, she wanted to show the world that she’s her own person, not someone who takes orders from the royal family. A source told Radar Online that this is Meghan’s way of proving she’s independent, even as a member of the royal family.

Meghan's Father Weighs In: Another Royal "Trap"?
In a past interview, Meghan’s estranged father, Thomas Markle, expressed his concerns, saying Meghan is being “stifled” by the royal family. He even compared her situation to Princess Diana’s before her tragic death. The insider added that Meghan was especially determined to run the marathon after her dad publicly claimed she was being trapped and controlled by the royals, much like Diana was. Can you imagine the pressure she must be feeling?
Royal Aides Stand Firm
Unfortunately, Meghan’s pleas fell on deaf ears. The royal aides made it crystal clear that there’s absolutely no way she’d be allowed to run in the next London Marathon. They cited security concerns, but Meghan knows the real reason: royal protocol dictates that it’s just not proper for senior royals to be seen sweating in workout gear in front of a massive crowd. It’s like they’re stuck in a time warp, right?
Halfway Compromise Falls Flat
Meghan tried to compromise by suggesting she could run just half the course, especially since the marathon was for charity. But no dice. Every suggestion she made was shut down. The insiders claimed that the royals insisted the real reason she couldn’t participate was because she’s considered a high-risk target for kidnapping and terrorism. That’s a pretty heavy accusation, don’t you think?
But Meghan’s not backing down so easily. The source said, “However, she knows it’s rubbish as the royals regularly cheer on the racers and it is one of the most closely monitored events in the UK by the police.” Even though Meghan reportedly won’t be able to run, knowing her tenacity, we’re sure she’ll find another way to support the cause—maybe by making a big donation. That’s just who she is!
