Here's How Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Are Getting Ready To Leave The Royal Family

In the recently released documentary ‘Meghan and Harry: An African Journey,’ the royal couple had spoken at length about the struggles they've been going through as part of the British Royal Family. They even mentioned their plans of taking a six-week break from work and getting some much-needed family time, giving way to speculations that the move may be the harbinger of a more permanent settlement away from the royal family.

For months, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have hinted towards their desire of seeking a more private life, away from the paparazzi and negative press that's been hounding them since they announced their relationship. They even ensured a private christening for their son, Archie, and had been vocal about wanting him to lead life as a private citizen.

In the recently telecast podcast Pod Save the Queen, hosted by Ann Gripper and featuring Daily Mirror’s royal editor Russell Myers and Daily Express’ royal correspondent Richard Palmer, the predicament of the royal couple was discussed at length. The royal experts spoke about the high probability of the Sussex’s planning a more permanent move and quitting the Royal Family.

“It’s possible at the moment, I think, to look at what they said, and Meghan essentially saying they’re really only existing and not enjoying life. Which opens up the door to them choosing a different life in future, I think. Certainly if you speak to their office you’ll be told that’s in no way being considered at the moment. But I certainly wouldn’t be surprised. And it looks to me almost as if they’re creating a narrative that will allow them to justify doing exactly that at a later point,” Mr Palmer said.

“Saying look, our lives were made hell, we were just so unhappy, we were better off getting out of it and going to live in Los Angeles, or the alternative would be Africa,” he added.

While they may have seemingly begun to lay the foundation of moving away from the royal family, will this work when the actual moment to renounce everything arrives?

According to Palmer, living separately from the royal family may be harder than one thinks. "The British taxpayers paying for the cost of round-the-clock security and protection for them living out there, I think it would be so expensive, it would be hard to justify,” Mr Palmer said.
