Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s exit from the House of Windsor, famously known as Megxit, shook up the entire royal family. Markle is the one who is commonly blamed for the infamous episode. It is a general notion amongst the monarchists and the crown servants that the former American actress brainwashed Prince Harry into leaving his home and living independently in California.

To date, Meghan Markle is called various names and has to go through a lot of trolling for the same. However, the royal author Andrew Morton has made a sensational claim about Prince Harry. The author revealed that the younger prince was unhappy with the institution for a long time and was always looking for a way out.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down as working royals in January 2020. However, the statements by Andrew Morton suggest that the Duke was planning for an exit within six months of his marriage. He met Oprah Winfrey in a hotel in London in December 2018 to discuss the interviews. Although Harry was looking for a way out, the royal family was not aware of it till the very last moment.

“He found it very difficult to appear in public. And yet, conversely, he had the Diana touch. He was and is quite a charismatic individual,” the royal biographer told Marie Claire.

Further in the interaction, Andrew Morton reflected on Queen Elizabeth II’s efforts of making Meghan Markle a part of the family. The late monarch was fond of Prince Harry and thus she tried her best to welcome his wife into the household. She allowed Markle to accompany her in public engagements while also giving the former American actress access to a lot of her jewelery and pearls.
