Enraged Prince Harry: William takes over his military posts
Another disappointment for the Duke of Sussex: his recent intervention in the US elections cost him a possible reinstatement in the functions of captain general of the Royal Marines, a position that will instead pass to his brother. And a biography reveals: Prince Harry never forgave William for turning to Uncle Spencer to stop him from marrying Meghan
The recent political intervention made by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle on the occasion of the announcement of the Time100, and which clearly alluded to the upcoming American elections and an anti-Trump vote, angered Queen Elizabeth. Who now apparently refuses to reassign his nephew the position of head of the Royal Marines at the end of the Megxit's 12-month trial period.
William in charge
Instead of Harry will be replaced by his brother William, second in line of succession to the throne. He will be the new captain general of the Royal Marines and perhaps also destined to take over all the other military posts that remained vacant upon the official announcement of the Sussex’s exit from court last March. And poor Harry, who reluctantly gave up on it, will have to be content with just wearing his medals as a retired soldier from now on.
The anger of Prince Harry
And that's not the only reason Harry is at odds with his brother: according to when revealed by Battle Of Brothers, the new biography of Robert Lacey, historical consultant of The Crown, William had turned to his uncle Charles Spencer, brother of Diana. , asking him to personally intervene to get Harry to wait first to get married to Meghan. Harry took offense by refusing to reconsider and accusing his brother of involving relatives in their feud.
The new life in South Africa
Also according to historian Robert Lacey, months before the Sussexes abandoned their roles at court, Queen Elizabeth had secretly worked out a plan with her collaborators to allow the Sussexes to live for a couple of years in South Africa, a country clearly loved by Harry and Meghan. The monarch's desire was to allow the couple to spend as much time as possible away from the media and monarchical rigors, just as she did with Philip in Malta in the early 1950s. But Harry and Meghan had their own plan, that of the Megxit.
