If you pay attention to the relevant news reports of the British royal family, you must be very familiar with the former Prince Harry, Duke of Susethas of the British royal family, and his wife Meghan, because this couple can be called the British royal family's Internet celebrity husband and wife, the two have been the focus of global media attention since announcing their resignation from the royal family in 2020, and the relevant reports about Meghan and his wife have also brushed the screen every day, almost non-stop.
Prince Harry has publicly declared many times that the reason why he left the British royal family is because he is not happy in the royal family, specifically, because he is the second son of the current British King Charles III, not the eldest son, he is doomed to not succeed to the British king's throne, so he can only become a spare tire of the royal family. In fact, Prince Harry also wrote a memoir about himself in the royal family, which is called "Spare".
In reality, this may not be the case. According to a report published by the British media on November 22, local time, Prince Harry did not have to be a royal "spare tire", because the former British monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, once gave Meghan and Harry the "key to the commonwealth", but Harry and Meghan ignored, Harry did not seize this opportunity, he missed.
According to reports, British royal writer Andrew Morton (Andrew Morton) revealed to the media that the late Queen once granted Prince Harry and Meghan a very important new position in the Commonwealth, but Harry and Meghan did not see this as a kind gesture revealed by the Queen and did not seize this opportunity to establish their important position in the royal family.
In January 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle posted a shocking statement on social media saying they would step down from their role as senior royals and plan to split their time between the UK and the US, where they would "work towards economic independence".
Harry and Meghan reportedly made this shocking decision because Meghan felt that "the whole royal family" was against them, and that the royal family and many senior staff members tried to show that the monarchy is safe with or without Harry and Meghan, and the royal family is safe. Still, royal writer Andrew Morton explained how negative the couple felt after receiving important posts in the Commonwealth from the Queen.
The famous author spoke on the Mirror's podcast Pod Save The King about how early Harry and Meghan began thinking about leaving the royal family, even though they had been given very important positions in the Commonwealth by the Queen.
Morton said on the podcast: "Harry spoke with American celebrity Oprah Winfrey at a London hotel in November 2018 when they had just been married for six months. Meghan and Harry considered leaving the royal family early on. But ironically, when Prince Harry and Meghan had just been appointed by the Queen as Commonwealth Youth Ambassadors, it was a very important position, which can be understood as they were awarded the "Commonwealth Key of the State".
"It's actually a vision of the Queen: 'You [Harry and Meghan] go run the rest of the world, let William and Catherine run the UK, and they'll eventually be the head of state.'" ”
Morton also explained how Prince Harry sees his marriage to Meghan as his way out of the royal family and why he thinks the late Queen will understand and support them if they spend a few years thinking about future roles.
"They're thinking about living in New Zealand and they've even spoken to the Prime Minister about that, so they have all sorts of plans and ideas for their future," Morton said.
"It didn't work out because at the end of the day, Prince Harry was cursed to be charismatic, but he hated being a prince and I think he saw Meghan as a way out." They didn't have to leave the royal family, but they did. ”
Morton continued: "Back in the late 40s of the 20th century, after the Queen married Prince Philip, he lived in Malta for a while, when he was pursuing his career in the Royal Navy and many people thought he would become the First Lord of the Admiralty because he was a star in the Navy at the time and had a bright future.
"They never thought for a moment that George VI would die so soon, and they thought that they would live on the fringes of the royal family for about 20 years, living a peaceful life without worry and burden. Therefore, the Queen has always been very understanding of anyone who wants to take a step back for a few years and enjoy family life, as she understands the pressures of being a member of the royal family. ”
On this matter, the author's personal opinion is that Queen Elizabeth II has already made plans for Prince Harry and Meghan, and she gave Harry and Meghan the important position of Commonwealth Youth Ambassador, which is to give Harry the "key to the Commonwealth", personally speculating that the Queen actually wants Prince William and Princess Kate to be the kings and queens of the United Kingdom, rule the British mainland, and then let Prince Harry and Meghan become the actual managers of the Commonwealth and manage the affairs of the Commonwealth. The queen's plan is actually very feasible, a bit like the ancient Chinese emperor appointed his second son to serve as a king in a remote area, which is similar.
Unfortunately, Prince Harry did not understand the Queen of England's painstaking efforts, he missed this opportunity to establish his important position in the royal family, and finally left the royal family with his wife.
