Queen Elizabeth II was reportedly “exhausted” by Prince Harry and his wife Meghan Markle’s decision to step away from their royal duties.
Vanity Fair shared an excerpt from “The New Royals” by author and royal expert Katie Nicholl, detailing the Queen’s struggle with their decision.
“The queen, who was deeply hurt by Harry’s decision to leave his family and the country, nonetheless ensured the door was always open for her grandson and his wife and children to return. For now Frogmore House is still theirs,” Nicholl wrote.
However, the Queen reportedly “made it clear that if Harry and Meghan chose to leave, they could not reap the benefits of being royal.”
Nicholl continued, “And according to a friend, privately the queen confided that she was exhausted by the turmoil of their decision. ‘She was very hurt and told me, ‘I don’t know, I don’t care, and I don’t want to think about it anymore,’ says that person.”
Additionally, Nicholl reported “it was a source of sadness to the queen that she got to see so little of Archie and Lilibet and that Harry and Meghan were not able to join her for a weekend at Balmoral in August, when the queen used to host a ”sleepover’ for all of her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.”
