British royal family news divulges that Prince Harry is such an outcast within his family and the monarchy, that Queen Elizabeth took pains to ensure he would never represent the crown. The late monarch was blindsided with Prince Harry’s Megxit bombshell and in turn she did not want the royal runaway to be in a position to stand in for his father King Charles for official duties.

Royal Family News – Harry Dropped Megxit
Royal expert Daniela Elser wrote in news.com.au that in the final months of her life, “Queen Elizabeth approved plans for Prince Harry to lose his final official royal role.” This stunning news is made all the more ironic now that the title of the bad boy’s memoir has been revealed: Spare.
Despite the cruel treatment that Harry the Duke of Sussex has shown his family, “he remains one of five counsellors who can be called on to stand in for the monarch. Under the 1937 and 1953 Letters Patent, a select group of senior Windsors can undertake most official duties bestowed on his father, King Charles.”

Elser added, “Sure, the chances of Harry ever, ever being asked to step in for his dad are about as slim as an Olsen twin on a juice cleanse but it’s the symbolism of the thing.”

Disgraced Prince Andrew is also technically a counsellor. Can you imagine having the man who settled a sex abuse case out of court in February representing the crown? Neither can we.

Her Majesty always put the needs of the monarchy first and thus was allegedly in the process of making sure that neither Andrew or Harry would be the face of the monarchy, no matter how fleeting.
Elser stated, “According to both the Times and the Daily Mail, paperwork is set to land in British parliament in a matter of weeks which will amend the Letters Patent and expand the possible candidates, likely adding Princess Anne and Prince Edward to the number, thus ensuring Andrew and Harry will never be tapped as counsellors.”
