So I think the Palace can probably claim they\u2019re telling the truth, and Boris Johnson can probably claim he\u2019s telling the truth.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In his book <i>Power and the Palace<\/i>, Low detailed the negotiation between the Sussexes and the Royal Family, highlighting that Harry and Meghan initially wanted to divide their time between Britain and North America while retaining roles within the monarchy.<\/p>\n<p>Attempts to find a compromise ultimately failed, and it was agreed that the couple would step down as working royals. They left the UK in March 2020, and are currently residing in California, US with their two children: Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n
