When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle revealed their plans to leave the royal family, royal experts said Queen Elizabeth had a challenging time. She understood the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's concerns and those of other members of the royal family who wanted the newlyweds to do things properly and not rush.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announced their retirement from royal duties on January 8, 2020. His choice came as no surprise to his family. However, it placed the 96-year-old monarch in an awkward position.
Her Majesty was aware of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's dissatisfaction and wanted to assist them. The other royals, on the other hand, urged them to create the "correct precedence."
In her new book "The Palace Papers: Inside the House of Windsor – the Truth and the Turmoil," a palace source told royal writer Tina Brown that the Queen felt "genuinely quite conflicted" about the Sussexes' departure. As early as the autumn of 2018," the couple's plan to depart was allegedly "obvious."
"The family saw the split coming only months later, in the summer of 2019," the unnamed insider claimed as quoted by Fox News. "They could all see how unhappy Harry and Meghan were."
The royal family members were all supportive, according to the informant. They just wanted Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to do it properly.
According to the source, everyone was in favor of the couple departing. But the informant said both Meghan and Prince Harry did, however, want everything done systematically. Because Prince William has three children, the source claims that the example that they set for this generation will impact his offspring.
"He's very mindful of that. So they wanted it done properly," the source added.
According to reports, Prince Harry was the one who made the decision to leave. Meghan then allegedly took the decision to hasten their departure "in acceleration."
"I thought one of the best things that Meghan could do for Harry was to take him out of royal life because he was just so unhappy for so long," the source continued. "He needed a wife to come in and say, 'Actually the best thing for you is that I take you out of this.'"
When Brown was promoting her new book, she spoke with Page Six. According to the former biographer of Princess Diana, Prince Harry would still be in the United Kingdom with his family if Markle hadn't entered his life.
Prince Harry had made no secret of his desire to leave the royal family. But it wasn't until he married the former Suits star that he took action. Markle, according to Brown, "enabled" Prince Harry.
"He wanted out and she enabled him to do what he wanted. She was strong enough to say, 'You know what? You want out. I can make it happen,'" Brown told Page Six.
"He's shown ever since that he absolutely hates that whole life, doesn't like it," the royal biographer added. According to Brown, Prince Harry would not have found a way out if it hadn't been for Meghan. She added he was essentially a man who had everything done for him.
"Prince Harry had never established a life for himself," Brown claimed. On the other hand, Markle is a "self-starter" and a "self-made successful woman," unlike him. As a result, she assisted her husband in achieving his goals.
