The news that Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, had decided to step back as senior members of the Royal Family and divide their time between the UK and Canada was met with uproar, shock and upset. What, many wondered, was the long-term plan?
Hitting back at speculation that Meghan had engineered the move for her own interests, Harry declared in an emotional speech, ‘I know you’ve come to know me well enough to trust that the woman I chose as my wife upholds the same values as I do. And she does, and she’s the same woman I fell in love with.
‘The decision that I have made for my wife and I to step back is not one I made lightly,’ he added.
But royal biographer Lady C tells Woman that the bold move seemingly has ‘Meghan’s fingerprints all over it’ and thinks ‘if Meghan doesn’t get what Meghan wants, she has a track record of slamming the door shut on whoever it is and walking away.’
So after all this, will Harry end up with no wife and no family?
PRESSURE ON THE QUEEN?
After the couple announced their plan via Instagram, the Queen called a family crisis meeting. ‘‘We would have preferred them to remain full-time working Members of the Royal Family,’ said Her Majesty in a statement, later adding, ‘Harry, Meghan, and Archie will always be much-loved members of my family.’
