In January 2020, the Duke of Sussex and his wife Prince Harry and Meghan Markle issued a statement saying they would give up senior members of the royal family, kicking off the world-shaking "Megexit" incident. On September 26, local time, the British "Sun" revealed the details of some of the Meituo negotiations, and the 5 Meituo plans drawn up by senior members of the royal family and courtiers were rejected by Queen Elizabeth II. It can be seen from this that the queen, who was 94 years old at the time, was of course a loving grandmother, but she had a very clear mind and a thunderbolt for her beloved grandson, relatively speaking, the queen treated Harry Meghan far more "fiercely" than the then crown prince, Prince Charles, the Duke of Cambridge, Prince William, perhaps the most important reason why the queen was still in a stable position after 70 years of reign.
The British newspaper The Times is serializing its new book "The Courtier: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown" by Valentine Low, a royal expert and journalist of the newspaper, and the process of the Meuther consultation was also revealed for the first time.
So, what is the core of the five Meadow plans rejected by the Queen? In the final analysis, these were all schemes negotiated by senior members of the royal family and courtiers other than the Queen to "block" Harimegan's withdrawal. At the heart of the five programmes are the following:
1. More work inside the royal family than outside
Four days after the Meytro statement, a consultation was held at Clarence House, then Prince Charles III's London apartment, where the proposal was to allow Harry Meghan to spend more time on royal work and less time on other things.
The plan proposes some crucial freedom clauses: give Harry Meghan a month each year to do their own thing.
It is unclear who made the proposal.
2. Let Hamei play a "farther role"
The personal secretary of King Charles III, Clive Alderton, and the private secretaries and correspondence secretaries of the Queen, the Duke of Cambridge and the Duke of Sussex racked their brains to solve the problem of Meadow with dignity.
The second version of the plan they proposed was to make Harry and Megan's roles seem more distant, suggesting that they spend most of their time "privately" and quietly doing what they want to do.
But that included a big "warning": Harry Meghan had to be "summoned" every year to a number of royal events selected by the courtiers.
3. Money, money, money
Financial issues were the most critical issue in the negotiations.
In discussing the future of the Sussexes, courtiers agreed that the Harries could not be exploring business opportunities as royals, even "secondary" ones, at the same time.
Negotiators warned the Ducals of Sussex that they should not act or make decisions for themselves, their families or friends for financial or other material gain.
But the Harries apparently couldn't agree with that, and they later struck huge deals of millions of dollars with media giants Spotify and Netflix.
4. Complete freedom
Clearly, what Harry Megan is looking for is "complete freedom."
In this regard, the book details the "positive emotions" in the talks, which involved Simon Keith, Prince William's then private secretary and current cabinet secretary.
According to reports, the Meghan did not participate in the negotiations, but she remotely controlled Prince Harry.
Keith played a crucial and active role in getting the two sides to talk, and although there was a huge disagreement before the conversation began: Harry Megan wanted to leave the royal family entirely, and the courtiers did not think it was necessary, but Keith convinced everyone that an agreement could be reached.
5. Create precedent
The courtiers believed that the agreement on Meyte did not concern only two people in Hari Megan, but was particularly important for generations of royals who did not have direct succession rights—the agreement would set a precedent for future generations.
Around these five core issues, before the queen intervened, the courtiers proposed a total of 5 proposals with Prince Charles, Prince William, and Prince Harry, but these plans failed to pass the queen's pass. The Queen's thinking is clear: you either leave or stay, there is no half-in-and-half-out-of-house scenario; You cannot use your royal status for personal and commercial gain.
In the end, Harry and Meghan lost all the benefits of being members of the royal family, from the title of His Highness to the protection of the police.
They soon went to Canada and then settled in the United States.
As can be seen from the above agreement process, other royals and courtiers are actually seeking a compromise with Harry Megan, and the queen will not. The queen is harsh and strict, and also has thunderbolt tactics for her own grandchildren, and she does not compromise.
