A royal expert has made new opinion about why exactly Harry and Meghan really left the royal family, after recommending ‘royal restrictions’ would have hindered.
The infamous departure of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry from royal life has been selected apart like no other. Many conspiracy theories surround the couple, as well as mass attention from either side of the pond.
And while people have a common understanding of why the couple select to leave, given the hate Meghan received after their royal wedding, a royal author has now suggested a different take on the situation.
Valentine Low thinks that there was a slightly more profitable motive behind the swift exit, that has never before been mentioned. In his book Courtiers, he wrote that the couple left the palace to live a more financially independent life – which could only be achieved in the US.
Low has thought that the former actress had a strong desire to ‘earn money for herself’, but that the two browsed their options before making the bold move.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, he shared that Meghan and Harry advised ‘having a month a year to do their own thing’. They also reportedly looked at ‘spending most of their time privately but doing a select number of royal activities’.
In his book, the author wrote: “Some suspected that in the end she wanted to make money. And the only way she was going to do that was by leaving her royal life behind and going back to America.”
If they had agreed to go on living life as senior royals, Low said that they would never have had the opportunity to ‘act or take decisions in order to boost financially’.
The author also speculated that the decision could have been driven by a motive to parrtcipate in US politics. And, of course, being a royal means you have no political alignment.
He wrote: “Crucially, it was the Queen who took the view that unless they were prepared to abide by the restrictions that applied to working members of the royal family, they could not be allowed to carry out official duties.”
And while the couple have never publicly spoken about their political views on the other side of the pond, it’s known that they have a tight friendship with the Biden family. More specifically, Meghan is friendly with Joe Biden’s sister, Valerie Biden Owens. And the politician’s sister previously supported Meghan to have a career in US politics, even backing her for a position in the White House.
