Meghan Markle Never Wanted To Stay With The Royal Family
Reports suggest that Meghan Markle may have harboured a little plan to exit the monarchy long before the 2020 announcement. Author Hugo Vickers shared on a podcast that the move wasn’t entirely shocking. However, the timing during Queen Elizabeth’s lifetime was unexpected. The late monarch was upset and sad about the couple’s decision to step back from their senior roles.
Elsewhere, Biographer Robert Hardman says that the Queen felt that everything was handed to them. Despite that, they wanted to throw it all away. According to the Queen, the exit was a major missed opportunity for the institution. Also, despite her private heartbreak, the sovereign acted decisively.
According to sources, the Queen had a very soft corner for Harry. Hence, she wanted to give it a go. In fact, Robert’s new book reveals the Queen’s efforts to help the Duchess adjust to her new life. Reports say that she was so sweet that she even brought Meghan a present and tried so hard to make her feel welcome.
During their famous joint train trip, the Queen was on the platform at 11 at night to personally greet her guest. Later, they also shared breakfast the next morning. And the monarch was trying to “show her the ropes” and integrate her into the family. Also, the Queen knew what a modernising force Harry was. Hence, when Harry and Meghan left suddenly it was a blow to the Queen’s vision for an inclusive British monarchy.
