Queen Elizabeth II fought desperately to prevent “Megxit” – even telling Meghan Markle: “You can go back to acting if you want to”.
However, the 10-word proposal wasn’t sufficient to stop Prince Harry and Meghan from abandoning Royal responsibilities for their fresh start in California in 2020.
Harry, 40, now holds American residency and has cut ties with the Royal family, the crown, and the nation.
According to Paul Burrell, a former royal household member, his grandmother, with whom he maintained a tight relationship, opposed Harry and Meghan’s departure.
He revealed: “There is no doubt in my mind that she didn’t want Harry and Meghan to leave. She did not want ‘Megxit’ as it was dubbed, as she knew they would be estranged from her world.”
Mr. Burrell commented: “She (the Queen) wanted them to stay, but she was born into an Edwardian court and was nearly 60 years older than Harry. Her Majesty had lived in a different world from her grandson. How could the Queen understand all of Harry’s problems? She couldn’t.
“They did, however, have a special relationship – particularly because Harry was something of a joker. He didn’t always adhere to protocol. Everyone was very stiff and starchy around the Queen, which she disliked, but he was relaxed and funny.”
