It didn’t work out because, when it clearly comes down to it, Prince Harry is cursed with charisma however hates being a prince, and I suppose that he noticed Meghan as a way out. They didn’t have to leave the royal household in the way that they did, however they did.”
He additionally brought that the Queen—who herself took time away from the every day grind of royal existence when she and husband Prince Philip lived in Malta—would have been understanding if the Sussexes desired to take a break, rather than step away entirely.
