Prince Harry<\/span><\/strong> and Meghan <\/strong>Markle\u2019<\/strong>s<\/span> 2020 exit from the royal family significantly changed family dynamics. Prince William and Harry, who were once very close, now have a rift between them \u2014 one that Paul Burrell, Princess Diana\u2019s former butler, says won\u2019t be resolved anytime soon.<\/p>\n Harry and Markle decided to step down from their royal duties in 2020 due to intense media scrutiny. Another alleged reason for the exit was that they didn\u2019t receive sufficient support from the palace. Burrell, however, notes that their exit came at a huge cost.<\/p>\n Prince Harry and Meghan Markle\u2019s decision to step down as senior royals in 2020 shook the entire monarchy. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved to Montecito to embark on a new journey, one away from their royal world. However, Paul Burrell reportedly says that their exit came at a steep price.<\/p>\n Burrell told Fox News <\/a>that their exit shattered the royal family\u2019s unity. He said that Markle and Harry appeared on national TV and discussed their family matters. This damaged their relationship with the royal family beyond repair.<\/p>\n Burrell continued, \u201cThe royals don\u2019t do that. The royals keep tight, and they keep close to each other. Look at the difference between William and Kate and Meghan and Harry. A huge world apart. Those two worlds will never come together again.\u201d<\/p>\n The Sussexes\u2019 exit also deeply affected King Charles<\/span>, according to Burrell. He claimed that since Harry\u2019s kids, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, are being raised in Montecito, the King hasn\u2019t been able to form a bond with them.<\/p>\n Burrell also noted that this is not just sad for the King, but also for Archie and Lilibet, who didn\u2019t get the chance to explore the royal world. He said, \u201cTheir father came from that world, and they will never know their cousins and the people who populate that world.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s sad for the King, who can\u2019t embrace all his grandchildren at the same time. He can\u2019t put his arms around Archie and Lilibet the same way that he can around [William\u2019s children] George, Charlotte, and Louis. I think he\u2019s very sad.\u201d<\/p>\n Originally reported by Chhavi Puri on Reality Tea<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n The post Prince Harry & Meghan Markle Leaving Royal Family Had a Huge Toll \u2014 Expert<\/a> appeared first on Mandatory<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Prince Harry and Meghan Markle\u2019s 2020 exit from the royal family significantly changed family dynamics.
