Prince Harry said that it was his idea to move to Canada. The Sussex couple with their baby Archie is currently in Canada doing self-quarantine as they wait for the "Megxit" to become official at the end of the month. Moving forward, they will be spending most of their time in North America.
Prince Harry Decided on the Megxit
Meghan received a lot of hate comments from people when the couple announced the Megxit; however, an inside source claims that Harry was the one who decided to leave for Canada.
An insider from Express said that what made Harry decide on leaving was because of how Meghan was being treated. He thought of protecting her and their son, Archie, so he decided to move to Canada.
The source said that Harry "snapped" when he saw that Meghan was never going to be treated right. That was what made up Harry's mind to go to Canada. The insider also said that to protect Archie from all the negative vibes of being a royal member, he decided to leave his royal title and take his family to Canada away from the spotlight.
The Sussex couple's final engagement with the royal family was during the Commonwealth Day festivities at Westminster Abbey that happened on March 9.
Harry's Close Friend Opened Up About His Decision
Harry has not said a word about the reports regarding the Megxit, but one of his close friends did the talking. Nacho Figueras told Hello Magazine about the Duke of Sussex's decision to move to Canada during an interview for the special, "Royal Divide: Harry, Meghan and The Crown", which was televised on ABC.
Figueras told the media that Harry said he wants to "live a normal life." He explains how Harry has suffered from everything that has been going on with their lives. Harry told his friend that when a thousand paparazzi are waiting outside their house to catch a glimpse of their child, then it is not normal.
The polo star also added that Princess Diana's death is one of the biggest reasons why they decided to leave the monarchy. Harry only wants to protect his family, and he does not want them to suffer the way his mother did.
Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Prepare for The Megxit
Effective April 1, Meghan and Harry will become officially out of the royal family. They returned to Canada after finishing their last round of royal duties at the beginning of the month.
During a dinner for Sentebale, the Duke of Sussex announced that the UK will always be his home. He also shared that he and Meghan still want to continue to serve the royal family in some way, though it did not happen.
Harry also added that he has grown up feeling all the support from the people, and he was happy to see that everyone welcomed his then soon to be wife Meghan with open arms as he finds his true love and happiness that he had hoped for all his life.
He added that for the following years, he would continue to invest in "charities and military communities". Then he ended by thanking everyone for their ongoing support.
Since they will be exiting the royal family, and leaving their royal titles behind, they would have to rename their main charitable foundation, Sussex Royal. An examination will be done in 12 months for their decision to leave.
Prince Harry and Prince William's Relationship
Harry's relationship with Prince William was greatly affected because Harry felt that Meghan is not being treated right. The Sussex couple has issues with the British tabloids for publishing personal letters that Meghan wrote to her father.
An insider from CheatSheet said that Harry and William have not yet made amends. Both of them are still "filled with anger and resentment."
