More and more details about Prince Harry and Duchess Meghan and their exit from the Royal Family 2020 are becoming public. A new scandal book about the British royal family is also responsible for this.
This book promises to be even more explosive than the planned memoir by Prince Harry, 38. At least that’s the impression given by some selected advance publications from Valentine Low’s new book “Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown”, which is due out on October 6, 2022 comes the market.
Prince Harry between family and wife
It said Harry feared he would become “irrelevant” once his nephew Prince George, 9, turned 18. In addition, Harry is said to have resisted speaking to Prince William, 40, about the rift because he feared details from the crisis communication would leak to the press. Even Duchess Meghan, 41, is not spared in the book. She is said to have put a lot of pressure on Harry in 2016 to go public with the relationship, otherwise she would leave him. During the 16-day royal tour in 2018 to Australia, Fiji, Tonga and New Zealand, Meghan is said to have been angry because this trip was not paid for.
This information would probably be enough to drive the sales of the book in the air. But “The Times” has now published scandalous content from Valentine Low’s work again.
Failed negotiations on “Megxit”
It’s about the “Megxit” in 2020. Harry is said to have written his father King Charles, 73, just an email from vacation in Canada that he and Meghan were unhappy and therefore wanted to emigrate to the United States. The two assumed that the situation could be clarified in this way, but the palace summoned Harry and Meghan to an interview and offered them an official appointment, which should not take place until a few weeks later. Harry is said to have been upset about why he wanted to speak to Queen Elizabeth, † 96, alone. But even that was officially forbidden. “Harry and Meghan felt cornered, misunderstood and deeply unhappy,” it said.
Subsequent negotiations for Harry and Meghan’s resignation as senior members of the Royal Family fell through, although everyone wanted to find a way to solve problems for future generations of the royal family who are not in direct line of succession.
Didn’t the palace staff take Harry and Meghan seriously?
Crucial were the restrictions as working members of the royal family, which Harry and Meghan didn’t want to get involved with. The ideas were too far apart. Valentine Low also shares the blame for the misery with the palace employees, who did not recognize the seriousness of the situation and did not seem to take Harry and Meghan’s dissatisfaction seriously enough.
“They’ve lost pretty much everything except the freedom to do exactly what they want. […] The rest of the royal family lost a dearly loved family member and saw a rift form, with the Sussexes still sending harsh criticism across the Atlantic in their own exile. It will be a long time before the institution gets over the allegations made by the couple in their interview with Oprah Winfrey, 68, including implying that the royal family is racist.”
