Harry and Meghan have said bye-bye to the Royal Family and desis cannot handle it!
In the midst of rising tensions around the world, the British Royal Family has seemed to distract the world with some desi level of family drama.
A few days ago, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced that they’re essentially leaving the Royal Family and going on to do their own thing.

This statement came as a shock to everyone, including their own family, especially the Queen.

As time went on, details of this split from the family came forward and they were messy.
Apparently, no one knew in the family knew this was going to happen. Yup, Harry and Meghan literally just got up and L E F T. This got mixed reactions; some were over the moon while others were extremely offended.

While the Western world was shocked, we desis all over the world couldn’t help but the parallels between this and so many Pakistani dramas and movies. Even more specifically, this entire drama seemed a bit too much like a Karan Johar production.
‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham’ vibes were felt
Meghan and Harry's decision to leave Royal household is highly evocative of ace Bollywood director Karan Johar's 2001 opus Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. The Megxit, as it is being called, mirrors the way in which Rahul and Anjali left the Raichand household. In this essay, I will…

This is essentially how ‘The Crown’ Season 8 will open.

The parallels only got worse when wax statues of the couples were removed from a display for the Royal Family.

Who knew we would be comparing the Royal Family to K3G this year. 2020 has been wild, and it hasn’t even been 10 days.
Same energy: guy leaves his wealthy family and his inheritance cuz of love #Megxit #K3G pic.twitter.com/3rQxKSiPsD

The Royal Family colonized us and took back with them the Kohinoor Diamond, a lot of other wealth and apparently also our inclination towards family politics.

People comparing Meghan-Harry to Rahul-Anjali’s plot in K3G.
Yup, can totally imagining Will going to Canada to get back his brother, dancing with Kate to You are my Soniya. Charles and Camilla joining in for Bole Chudiyaan and oh, and the Queen dies. Plausible— KeyboardWarriorPrincess (@Alfifius) January 10, 2020
This scene, in particular, is really speaking to a lot of desi souls.

You might think K3G is extra, but hey, it seems to have resonated with Harry and Meghan. Time to rewatch the film, I guess.
They’re breaking away from one of the biggest Collectives on the Planet. Also, after #Megxit K3G makes so much sense. @awryaditi https://t.co/OrsqiYWVVk

Alongside this, some people were impressed by Harry’s bold stance and were wondering if Pakistani men might take note.

Meghan & Harry can leave behind the royal fam, yet men in Pakistan can’t leave their joint fam to make a separate, nuclear home with their wives

A lot more information is coming out about this split. However, all new information points to the fact that Harry and Meghan LEGIT got up and left. Meghan is currently in Canada, while Harry is dealing with the downfall after their announcement. It will interesting to see how this couple navigates the world, but till then, enjoy the memes!
