Prince Harry 'sold' cherished £50,000 present as Meghan Markle 'didn't approve'

Prince Harry is believed to have flogged an expensive gift he was given and stepped away from one of his hobbies to curry favour with his wife, Meghan Markle, as she didn't approve

However, it's believed that animal-loving Meghan, 43, influenced his decision to step away from bloodsports, leading to the sale of the rifles, estimated to be worth £50,000, in a private deal back in 2020. The same year, conservationist Dr Jane Goodall told Radio Times that she believed Prince Harry would stop hunting because Meghan doesn't approve. In December 2018, during the couple's first Christmas together, rumours circulated that Prince Harry would abstain from a traditional Boxing Day hunt, which palace sources dismissed as 'completely untrue', reports the Mirror.
