'Real reason' Prince Harry and Meghan Markle 'quit royal life' unmasked by expert


A new Channel 5 documentary claims that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry had been planning to quit royal life for almost a year, before they announced their decision to step back

In the programme Meghan and Harry: The Rise and Fall, Anna suggested that the intense scrutiny surrounding the birth of their son Prince Archie in May 2019 was the catalyst for their departure. Speaking on the Channel 5 show, she said: "I think that started to sour things (lack of privacy after Archie's birth) and then of course it's easy to add the moniker that they're entitled, they're going to do it their way, they're difficult, they're not playing the royal game." The couple relocated to the United States (Image: ANDRES CASTILLA 2024)The Sussexes didn't waste time making their vision come true, settling down in sunny California shortly after their declaration, where they've since expanded their brood with the birth of their daughter, Princess Lilibet, in June 2021.
