Royal Family News: Queen Elizabeth & Prince Philip Had ‘High Hopes’ For Prince Harry & Meghan Markle But Not Anymore

British royal family news reveals that despite their stiff upper lips, and lack of public complaints, the United Kingdom’s Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip are likely bewildered by their errant grandson Prince Harry Duke of Sussex. They are probably asking, why did he so brazenly quit the royal family? according to one royal expert, with no answer forthcoming.

According to royal watcher Ingrid Seward, Harry’s maudlin exodus from his family and Britain has left them reeling, sad, and upset. Seward has written the book Prince Philip Revealed and she recently spoke to The Post about the elder royal family members.

She claims that the couple probably had “high hopes” when Prince Harry wed Meghan Markle. “I think it was a huge shock and then as very often happens shock then turns to irritation because you think why? What have we all done wrong and what it is that they want and what is it that they haven’t got?”

Of the Markles she said, “They’ve got a beautiful house, they’ve got a beautiful child, they were doing what they wanted to do, their voices were being heard and I think they just couldn’t understand and probably still don’t.”

Seward thinks that Megxit was all the more dismaying because Queen Elizabeth may have seen them as the “new face of royalty” one that would serve the monarchy well as it meandered into the 21st century.

“And I think they could hardly believe it when Harry announced they were leaving for North America and wanted out of royal life,” said Seward.

She also believes that Prince Philip was particularly hard hit by the sucker punch that Megxit packed because, “he’s always been very fond,” of his grandson.

“Harry is spontaneous, he’s fun and he’s a bit of a daredevil or he was and Philip, when he was young, was all these things too. So I think he saw a little bit of himself in Harry and the two of them were able to communicate very well.”

Seward went on to say that she thinks Meghan did not comprehend the British way of life. “Meghan’s whole thing was, ‘Look at me,’ … She and Harry really did want to make things better together and all they’ve actually managed to do is make things worse.” Indeed, most self-centered people with the kind of narcissism displayed by Harry and Meghan seldom make anything better.
