British Royal Family News indicate that Prince Harry is none too pleased about the ‘Megxit’ deal that he was given by his beloved grandmother. In fact, the Duke of Sussex, who will no longer be carrying out royal engagements and public appearances for the royal family, admitted that he still want to work for Queen Elizabeth, but not in a senior role. Unfortunately, that’s not what he got. Here’s what you need to know.
This past weekend the Queen released a statement that said both Prince Harry and Meghan Markle would be losing their HRH titles and that they would no longer be receiving public funding. What’s more, they were asked to pay back the $3 million for the renovations made at Frogmore Cottage.
British Royal News: Prince Harry Admits That Queen’s Mexgit Deal Wasn’t What He Wanted
But for Harry and Meghan, this wasn’t the deal they wanted. Apparently, they were looking to keep one foot in the door while keeping the other one out. What’s more, they also want to live half the year in North America and the other half back at Frogmore Cottage. Prince Harry hinted at his disappointment in the deal during a dinner for supporters at the Sentebale charity in London.
“Before I begin, I must say that I can only imagine what you may have heard, or perhaps read, over the past few weeks,” Harry began. “So, I want you to hear the truth from me — as much as I can share, not as a prince or a duke, but as Harry, the same person that many of you have watched grow up over the past 35 years, but now with a clearer perspective.”
“The decision that I have made for my wife and I to step back is not one I made lightly,” the Prince said. “It was so many months of talks after so many years of challenges. And I know I haven’t always gotten it right, but as far as this goes, there really was no other option. What I want to make clear is, we’re not walking away, and we certainly aren’t walking away from you.” Prince Harry added that he was hoping to still support the Queen, but without funding. “Unfortunately, that wasn’t possible,” he stated. “I’ve accepted this knowing it doesn’t change who I am or how committed I am, but I hope it helps you understand what it had come to, that I would step my family back from all I have ever known to take a step forward into what I hope can be a more peaceful life.”
