Meghan Markle e Harry they have pulled too hard and Queen Elizabeth no longer intends to submit to their claims, taking the final decision on the “Megxit” issue. The Sovereign abandons the soft line she has held up to here towards her grandchildren and adopts an uncompromising attitude that confronts them with the consequences of their break with the Royal Family.
The constant refusals of Harry and Meghan to meet the needs of the Crown, their insistence to behave without taking into account the links with the British Court, as when they intervened in the American presidential elections, contribute to the change of course of Her Majesty, embarrassing the Queen. All forms of compromise offered to them by the Palace were also rejected. Not last, Lady Markle’s choice not to accompany Harry in London next spring, preventing Elisabetta from seeing her grandson Archie again.
The intolerant behavior of the Sussexes therefore pushed the Sovereign towards a hard line. Sources of the Palace, taken from the Express, affirm that His Majesty has decided to take away Harry’s three honorary military titles, as he no longer works for the Royal Family. Elisabetta should therefore implement her decision in March 2021, i.e. at the end of the 12 months from the Megxit. A renunciation that will weigh heavily on the Prince who is very attached to the Armed Forces and has never hidden how much it pains him to lose his military posts.
Evidently the Queen has chosen the hard way to shake her nephew by showing him the consequences of her striking gesture. Freedom has a price, and what Harry has to pay is the renunciation of all the privileges of his past life, including those positions that distinguished him in the British Royal Family.
Elizabeth has conceded too much to the Sussexes, leaving them the door open for a year, ready to welcome Harry and Meghan back to the Palace, without repercussions. But his outstretched hand has been rejected too many times by the couple. It seems to disappoint her above all the son of Charles and Diana. Several royal commentators have pointed out how Harry is torn between a sense of duty towards his grandmother and father and the love for his wife that prompted him to leave everything he had and believed in, resulting in a new existence that apparently it doesn’t quite satisfy him.
But despite the many sacrifices and the enormous understanding of the Queen, willing to forgive him everything, the Prince seems to have chosen Hollywood and Lady Markle. Although his return to London alone could turn into a twist. Returning to the fold could make him open his eyes to what he is losing.
But if the turning point is not there, Harry will be able to do nothing but hand over his military posts to other senior members of the Court. Among the most likely names are those of the Princess Anna, daughter of Elizabeth and aunt of Harry, and hers brother William. If it were up to the Duke of Cambridge to inherit his titles, it would be a real setback for Charles and Diana’s second son. In any case, the final decision rests with the Queen.
As the royal correspondent of the Daily Express, Richard Palmer, the meeting proposed by the Queen to her nephew are “a gift”, it is by her concession that the Sussexes have had 12 months to reach an agreement with the Court and eventually re-enter it.
Palmer is still convinced that the upcoming dates between Her Majesty and Harry won’t be as institutional as that which took place in Sandringham in January 2020, they will be more informal and low-key. Evidently the hope that the Prince will resume his senior role is highly unlikely.
