Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, recently, announced that they will be stepping down as senior royals. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex, then, explained that the reason behind this decision is for them to be away from the limelight so they could focus on their family and charities. They also aim to be “financially independent.”
Now, biographer David Jones said that Meghan Markle is to be blamed for Prince Harry’s shocking decision. He added that the former actress is a headstrong woman who rules over the Duke of Sussex. Jones also noted that the Duchess of Sussex still lived by her ex-husband’s mantra.
“She seemed to have an aphorism to suit almost every eventuality,” Jones said. “One was recited to her friends whenever she embarked on some landmark venture, such as a career move or a new relationship. 'Never give it five minutes if you're not prepared to give it five years,' she would declare (omitting to say this mantra was originally coined by her first husband, Trevor Engelson). That it has taken Meghan considerably less time — just 20 months — to decide she cannot adjust to the rigors of royal duty may have shocked the British public,” he added.
The biographer, then, revealed that some of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s friends believe that the latter is the instigator of their shocking announcement a couple of days ago. David Jones said that one of the former actress’s close friends said that they “saw this coming.”
“‘With Meghan, it has always been her way or the highway,” one of Meghan Markle’s oldest confidants allegedly told David Jones. “‘She is always the center of the relationship, regardless of Harry's title. She wants to be in the limelight, but under her own terms. Now she will get to make her own rules. It's perfect for her. Meghan likes to flee when things get heavy and observe from afar what she has done. I'm sure she wanted to get back to her inner circle (in Canada); her new creative team who are behind these plans. She has been able to move fast because this has been planned for months. She is running a campaign. This is not just an exit. It is a long-game strategy that has been set in motion for some time.’”
Meanwhile, previous reports revealed that fans thought that Prince Harry regressed after marrying Meghan Markle. Many believe that the harsh criticism that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are facing now is all because of the former actress.
