The decision of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to step down from their senior royal duties created such mayhem in the UK, as this was the first in a long time that royals have decided to leave their responsibilities. This has catapulted the couple into the world stage, critics all over the world had something to say about their exit, or as what they call it ‘Megxit’.

Although a statement from the Queen herself was released regarding the exit of Harry and Meghan, stating that they are fully on board with their decision and that they have known for quite a time. Loyal fans of the royal family believe that there is more to the story.

According to sources the decision of the Sussex’s gave the Queen no other choice, ‘they put a gun to the Queen’s head’, said a royal expert on the couple's decision.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who announced their exit from the royal family was a big slap to the face of the royals. This was an unprecedented action from the couple, and going public about it was betraying the family.

The couple got married in 2018 and finalized their exit from the royal family in March 2020. Between these years, the couple did their duties as senior royals. 

“At the time in January, there was a lot of anger. As one very senior member of the house said to me don’t put a gun to the Queen’s head. You do not go to the public and say what you want, we sort it out behind doors. We all try to negotiate and then we present a united front,” Emily Andrews, royal expert commented on the issue in an interview.

With this comment, one can say that Prince Harry and Meghan’s move to announce that they were stepping down from their duties as something that was not thoroughly discussed within the family.

In an effort to push the issue to their side, publicly revealing it has put the Queen on the corner, with either supporting the two’s decision or being the bad person in the story.

Queen Elizabeth II, who is the longest-reigning monarch up to date, has seen her fair share of controversies and this is one of the many that she will go through in the coming years.

Prince Harry and Meghan were based in Canada for a few months after their exit from the royal family before leaving for California.
