The couple tied the knot in 2018 and welcomed their first child, son Archie, in 2019. A year later, they stepped down from their roles as senior working royals in hopes of building their lives afresh away from the monarchy.<\/p>\n<p>Robert Hardman, author of \u201cOur Queen,\u201d said that the late monarch always \u201cadored Harry.\u201d He also shared that she invited Markle to accompany her on a solo trip together, which the author claims was \u201ca rare honour for new family members.\u201d Not just that, she also gifted the \u201cSuits\u201d alum a pair of diamond and pearl drop earrings. Overall, she made efforts to make her feel part of the family.<\/p>\n<p>However, soon after the wedding, tensions began to arise between the <a target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Sussexes;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aol.com\/entertainment\/prince-harry-meghan-return-home-163329974.html\">Sussexes<\/a> and the Waleses. The author says that the Queen \u201crecognised what a modernising force Harry was.\u201d This is why she entrusted him with many important responsibilities. However, as things changed after his marriage, in January 2020, the Sussexes announced their departure from royal work. They stated that while they would be moving to America, they would still play a role in public life. However, this was the moment when the late Queen \u201cacted decisively,\u201d according to the author.<\/p>\n<p>He said, \u201cAs far as the Queen was concerned, Harry and Meghan had everything handed to them but wanted to throw it all away\u2026 She was enormously upset and terribly sad about a wasted opportunity, but she acted decisively.\u201d While Harry and Markle wanted a half-in, half-out role, the late Queen firmly said that would not be possible.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Meghan Markle &amp; Husband\u2019s Royal Exit \u2018Enormously Upset\u2019 Late Queen \u2014 Author;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\/2026\/04\/21\/meghan-markle-prince-harry-royal-exit-queen-elizabeth\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Meghan Markle &amp; Husband\u2019s Royal Exit \u2018Enormously Upset\u2019 Late Queen \u2014 Author<\/a> appeared first on <a target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Reality Tea;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.realitytea.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Reality Tea<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.aol.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meghan Markle and Prince Harry\u2019s exit from the British royal family allegedly \u201cenormously upset\u201d the late Queen Elizabeth II.
