And Harry and Meghan abruptly stepped down from their royal family duties. But the Duke of Sussex and Duchess of Sussex reportedly thought that their exit and move to California would ease the royal rift. However, something went horribly wrong. Get the details below.
Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Watch Megxit Blow Up
Remember when the term Megxit sounded like a brilliant scheme? The phrase came into use after Meghan and Harry shared with Instagram their plans to step down as senior royals. And they vowed to alternate between North America and the United Kingdom. Going even further, the Duchess and Duke of Sussex explained they wanted to become financially independent.
However, life quickly started to diverge from their dream. And one insider shared a possible reason with Us magazine. The Duchess and Duke of Sussex never talked privately with the rest of the royal family prior to Megxit. But the source insisted that Meghan and Harry did not deliberately ignore the Queen, calling it a communication error.
As a result, the Palace issued a statement in response. “Discussions with The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are at an early stage,” announced the Palace. “We understand their desire to take a different approach. But these are complicated issues that will take time to work through.” And it all soon proved more difficult than anyone imagined.

Meghan Markle And Prince Harry Hurt William And Kate
Because of the lack of communication prior to Megxit, the wounds quickly appeared. For instance, Prince Harry reportedly hurt his brother Prince William in a way that never healed. And an insider described William as “blindsided by Harry and Meghan’s decision and statement. William is incredibly hurt,” noted the source. “But at the same time he has his own family to focus on and is trying to move forward with his life.”
And William’s wife Kate Middleton felt just as wounded. “William’s done everything in his power to help his brother over the years and feels totally let down by his ‘reckless’ and ‘selfish’ actions. The way he sees it, Harry’s thrown all the good advice he gave him back in his face,” revealed another insider. “When Harry was feeling low or had problems, William was always there for him, as was Kate. Kate’s incredibly hurt too. She acted as a mentor to Harry before Meghan came into the picture and hates seeing her husband so upset.”
Meghan and Harry reportedly thought time and distance would heal everything. But their comfortable life in their California mansion along with time passing doesn’t seem to make a difference. As a result, Meghan and Harry face a major challenge in trying to make peace with the royal family. And that seems especially true of their relationship with Kate and William.
