Prince Harry is reportedly having second thoughts about his impulsive decision to step away from the royal family.
In 2020, the Duke of Sussex and his wife Meghan Markle resigned from their roles as working royals and relocated to California with their children in search of a more private life.
However, Tom Quinn, author of “Gilded Youth, An Intimate History of Growing Up in the Royal Family,” has suggested that Harry now regrets relinquishing his title on a whim.
While Quinn acknowledged Harry’s claims of mistreatment during his time in the UK, he also highlighted the uncertainty that comes with severing ties to the royal family.
“In Spare and Elsewhere, Harry has made it very clear that he feels horribly, badly treated,” Quinn shared with the Daily Express.
“But I think he’s already beginning to regret it because he understands the value of being a member of the royal family.”
Quinn went on to mention a conversation he had with someone who previously worked for Harry, who questioned what the prince would do when people lose interest in his complaints and urged him to find a positive role as a royal.
Quinn’s prediction comes at a challenging time for Harry and Meghan, as they strive to rebuild their media empire.
Speculation has arisen suggesting that the couple was forced out by the late Queen, but they presented their departure as a personal choice to save face.
It is believed that Duchess Sophie holds the secrets behind their decision to leave.
While Queen Elizabeth may have kept this information from Prince Philip, she confided in Sophie and Princess Anne, discussing it with their closest aides.
The Queen trusted Sophie to carry out her instructions and ensure that Markle left the UK without taking anything that didn’t belong to her.
Harry and Meghan began venturing into establishing their own brand, hoping to capitalize on it financially.
They even sought copyright protection for their own line of merchandise.
However, their plans were thwarted when the royal family discovered their intentions and put a stop to it.
Realizing the consequences, Harry and Meghan swiftly released their statement about stepping down in an attempt to control the narrative.
Unfortunately, their efforts did not succeed, and they ultimately found themselves being dismissed.
The decision to part ways with certain aspects of their royal duties while still wanting to retain others was viewed as a unilateral move and led to their dismissal.
The constitutional arrangement governing the royal family includes important provisions such as refraining from using public positions for personal gain and maintaining political neutrality.
These rules are crucial in preventing corruption and abuse of power.
As Harry and Meghan were unwilling to adhere to these principles, they had to be let go.
It is believed that the late Queen herself made the decision to dismiss them, which explains Meghan’s lack of concern for the impact on her actions during Prince Philip’s illness and her own health issues.
Furthermore, their bombshell revelations were intended to hurt both the late Queen and the Commonwealth legacy.
Meghan’s newfound status as an unofficial royal seemed to have emboldened her, attracting vendors and high-profile meetings with figures like Oprah Winfrey, Quebec, and Netflix in England.
However, she seemingly forgot that Scotland Yard protection officers meticulously log their every movement, capturing and recording their car movements in real-time.
Markle may have underestimated the Queen’s resolve, as Her Majesty firmly rejected the notion of Harry and Meghan having one foot in and one foot out of the royal family.
It remains unclear whether Harry was aware of this decision, but he has demanded an apology from the royals regarding how his wife was treated.
However, considering their actions and behavior, it seems that both Meghan and Harry have received the consequences they deserve.
Their credibility has been called into question, making it difficult to trust them in any capacity.
