The whole world was stunned when Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced earlier this year that they want to step down as senior royals. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex then shared reasons for their decision, such as wanting to focus more on their family and charities, live a more “peaceful life,” be “financially independent,” and more.
Although Queen Elizabeth eventually released a statement saying that she and the Royal family support Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s decision, royal fans are not as understanding. Many believed that the Duchess of Sussex was the reason why the younger son of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana wanted to turn his back on the life that he has known since he was born. And because of that, the former actress garnered even more hate.
Now, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s tell-all book will reportedly reveal who really decided to quit royal life. According to a source, “Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of A Modern Royal Family” will make it clear that it was the Duke of Sussex who wanted out and not his wife like everyone speculated.
The insider further noted that Prince Harry heavily dislikes the term “Megxit” because it gives the impression that Meghan Markle was the one who wanted to quit royal life when it was, which is, allegedly, not true.
The tipster also added that Prince Harry “had been unhappy for a long, long time.” As for Meghan Markle, the source said that she made it clear that she will support her husband’s decisions no matter what.
While there is no actual confirmation from Prince Harry and Meghan Markle if the former was really the brains behind their withdrawal decision or not, one thing is for sure — the more “peaceful life” that they were aiming for is far from happening.
After Prince Harry and Meghan Markle moved to Los Angeles to make a fresh start, they were bombarded with criticisms. Some claimed that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex “abandoned” the UK during the coronavirus pandemic.
Queen Elizabeth and the Royal Family are known to be the strength and stability of Britons. With Prince Harry and Meghan Markle being two of the most popular members of the royal clan, their presence and influence would have emotionally helped the public. Instead, Britons felt that the couple chose to be selfish.
