Tom Quinn, the author of "Gilded Youth: An Intimate History of Growing Up in the Royal Family," has suggested that Prince Harry is beginning to regret his hasty departure from his royal title. While Quinn acknowledges Harry's claims of having experienced mistreatment during his time in the UK, he also reflects on the uncertainty surrounding Harry's future now that he has severed his ties with the royal family.
Quinn believes that Harry is starting to realize the value of being a member of the royal family, as he has already expressed feeling mistreated. Quinn shared, "Harry has made it very clear he feels horribly badly treated, but I think he's already beginning to credit because he understands the value of being a member of the royal family."
This revelation comes as Harry and Meghan are striving to salvage their media empire amid recent challenges. There has been speculation that the late Queen may have effectively dismissed them from their royal roles, leading to their departure. However, they presented their exit as a voluntary choice to save face.
It's suggested that Duchess Sophie may hold the secret behind the reason for their departure, which she may have discussed with the Queen and certain key staffers. According to insiders, the late Queen entrusted Sophie to ensure Meghan's departure from the UK and to prevent her from taking items that didn't belong to her.
Harry and Meghan had ventured into building their own brand, including a line of merchandise for profit, but the royal family discovered this and put a stop to it. This unilateral decision to step back from certain royal duties while retaining others led to their dismissal.
The constitutional arrangement governing royal roles includes provisions to prevent personal profit from a position of public service and maintaining political neutrality. Violating these rules can lead to dismissal, and in this case, the decision came from the late Queen herself.
Meghan's behavior, particularly the public statements and actions she took, caused significant hurt to the late Queen and tarnished the Commonwealth Legacy. This boldness seemed to have emerged once she became an official royal, gaining substantial attention and influence.
However, the actions of Harry and Meghan were closely monitored and recorded by Scotland Yard protection officers, and the late Queen made it clear that they couldn't have it both ways. As a result, their departure from their royal roles was not entirely voluntary, and they received the consequences of their actions.
