Meghan Markle – Uttered THESE Final Words

In January 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle dropped their bombshell. And the Duke and Duchess of Sussex announced they would step down from their positions as senior members of the royal family.

Just months later, Meghan and Harry completed their plans to exit. And they headed off, first to Canada and then to their current home in Montecito, California.

But until now, no one knew how Meghan really felt about that famous departure. And after she and Harry appeared at the Invictus Games last month and visited New York City for World Mental Health Day this week, her final words before her official departure from royal life have become known. 

Omid Scobie co-authored the book Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan. And Scobie revealed in the new book what Markle stated on that last challenging day, according to the Post. “It didn’t have to be this way,” Meghan told Scobie as they attended the Association of Commonwealth scholars event. 

Prince Harry – Felt ‘Crushed’

However, Scobie also shared his insights on why Meghan and Harry stepped down from The Firm. And he claimed that the Duchess and Duke of Sussex felt that the royal family did not support them. But Scobie also shared that Meghan held back her tears during her final contact with members of The Firm.

“The tears that the duchess had been bravely holding back [were] free to flow among familiar faces,” he claimed. And he added the Duchess of Sussex wished that it had not ended as it did. But Meghan then said her farewells to her “much-loved aides.” 

And Scobie also revealed that Prince Harry felt “crushed,” calling that “an understatement. It’s a decision that the couple still feel wasn’t necessary,” he added. “But also [their exit from the royal family] wasn’t a surprise, given the lack of support they received.”

Harry and Meghan have shared that they felt that leading more private lives would help them. But since leaving, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have given numerous interviews on their experiences within the royal family. For instance, they famously claimed in 2021 in an Oprah Winfrey interview that the royal family questioned how dark their son Archie’s skin would be and that Prince William’s wife Kate Middleton caused Meghan to cry.
