American citizens are not supposed to accept foreign titles either. If she was happy enough to accept the role of being a duchess, she should be happy enough to follow the protocols required by senior royals and aristocrats (ordinary British citizens are not required to bow or courtesy by the way, unless they choose to).
As I understand it the girl he really wanted to marry was Chelsy Davy a (white) Zimbabwean. Unfortunately she dumped him once she realised what marrying in to the Royal Family entailed. She would have been better for him but she did not want the lifestyle. Unfortunately for the royals the kinds of women they are likely to attract are the ones that crave status and materialism and dont mind the restrictions on what they can do and when they can do it that comes with being a working Royal. Quality women who are good and decent dont seek that sort of thing are unlikely to want to have anything to do with marrying in to the royal family. William locked out with Kate Middleton. Harry did not.
I agree with you, but he could have done much better than grifter Markle. He knew she didn’t have a very good reputation and that there were known shady facts about her prior to marrying her.
