Prince Charles Didn’t Believe Harry
Prince Charles and Prince William didn’t think Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were serious when they said they wanted to step down from their senior royal duties, Battle of Brothers author Robert Lacey tells Us Weekly.
Lacey says: “Harry had been talking to his father and brother. Saying, ‘Look, we’ve come to the conclusion we quite like Canada. We’d like being on the side of the Atlantic. We think we want to stay here for a bit, but we think we can still say Royal.'”
Lacey adds that Harry’s notion of developing the Sussex Royal brand as a “sort of compromise, a new form of … expatriate monarchy” was brushed off.
He adds that the conversation was “sort of offhand. They didn’t quite believe they were serious. It’s [like], ‘Put it down on writing paper or chap, you know, sends us an email and we’ll think about it.’ And we know this cause Harry himself and the other palaces have agreed that, like, this must have happened.”
