Evil gossip has it that Prince Harry was persuaded by his wife to step down as Senior Royal. Information from an expert now sheds a whole new light on the so-called “Megxit”.
Her decision caused dismay around the world and displeasure in the royal family: Two years after their wedding, Prince Harry, 37, and Duchess Meghan, 40, left in 2020 as high-ranking members of the British royal family to get one in the United States Building a family and a new life far away from royal duties and constraints. A step in the prince’s life that he would have taken anyway, according to palace staff.
Prince Harry was ‘unhappy in the constraints of the royal family’
Advisors at the palace “always thought he was going,” claims royal biographer Tina Brown in the “New York Times” podcast. She was told it was because “he was so fragile, so touchy and frankly, so unhappy in the constraints of the royal family.”
However, the Duke of Sussex’s departure from the Royal Family was “a disaster for everyone involved,” emphasizes the author of the book “The Palace Papers”. “I think there is now a Harry-shaped hole in the royal family,” she explains, “and Harry was loved by the British people.”
“People loved Meghan”
But not only the 37-year-old enjoyed great popularity with the British. “People loved Meghan when she came in,” Tina Brown recalled before the couple left their jobs as senior royals in March 2020 to begin their new and more independent lives in the United States. The Sussexes now live in Montecito, California with their children Archie, 2, and Lilibet, 10 months, and work on their own projects.
