New Claims Emerge About the Prince Harry and Meghan’s Exit From Royal Life

A royal expert is now claiming that the Sussexes left royal life too early to know whether they could have given it a go. Contrary to the belief that Harry and Meghan “escaped” the Palace because of neglect and the relentless negative press coverage, Andrew Morton has claimed that they were planning the decision almost immediately after they got married.

Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Quit Royal Life “Too Early”

Speaking on the Mirror’s Pod Save the Queen, royal expert Andrew Morton revealed that Harry and Meghan’s exit from royal life had been something that was premeditated long before they announced it to the public.

“Harry was having conversations in a London hotel with Oprah Winfrey back in November 2018, just six months after they’d been married.

“So they were thinking about a different direction of travel pretty early on. The irony is they had been given the keys to the first class lounge when Prince Harry was given the position of Youth Ambassador to the Commonwealth.

He said: “The great tragedy, I think, is that Meghan and Harry didn’t give it long enough to see whether they could give it a go. They were on the out almost before the wedding music had finished.”

However, during their Oprah interview, Meghan said that she was ready to give her all to make the Queen proud upon joining the Royal Family, but that the cruel press, racism, and neglect over her mental health problems made her want to get out.

Eventually, in early 2020, the couple announced that they would be permanently stepping down from royal life. It was reported that, at the time, the couple had opted for a half-in half-out option, but the Queen denied it from them.

Soon after, the couple moved to Canada, before making their way to the U.S. where they now live in a multi-million dollar mansion in Montecito, California.

Since leaving the Royal Family, they have welcomed a daughter, Lilibet, who is named after the Queen, and made several deals with streaming, publishing and audio platforms.
