THE ROYAL FAMILY WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!
The couple’s split has torn the Windsors apart
When Meghan Markle said “I do” to Prince Harry on May 19, 2018, the royal family’s future looked as sunny as it was on that historic day at Windsor Castle.
Not one of the two billion people watching the historic event could have predicted the fairytale would crumble in such spectacular fashion just 19 months later.
Last week, Harry, 35, and Meghan, 38, blindsided the Queen, Prince Charles and Prince William by announcing to the world via an extensive statement shared to their Instagram account, @Sussexroyal, they are not only “stepping down as senior royals”, but also planning to move to North America – most likely Canada.
QUEST FOR FAME
Despite the shockwaves echoing through Buckingham Palace and beyond, it appears the Sussexes’ decision to depart has been in the works for some time. In fact, it doesn’t come as surprise at all to those who’ve known Meghan much longer than Harry has.
“She’s infamous for getting what she needs out of people and moving along,” says an insider from her hometown of Los Angeles. “She’s done it with childhood friends, her own father and nephews, and now her husband’s family. She destroyed her own family in her quest for fame, so what’s someone else’s? I wouldn’t put it past her to have been plotting this from the start.”
In their statement, the couple said, “It is with your encouragement, particularly over the last few years, that we feel prepared to make this adjustment. We now plan to balance our time between the United
Kingdom and d North America, continuing to honour our ur duty to the Queen, the Commonwealth alth and our patronages. This geographic hic balance will enable us to raise our son on with an appreciation for the royal tradition ition into which he was born, while also providing oviding our family with the space to focus s on the next chapter, including the launch of our new charitable entity.”

Hours after r their bombshell announcement, ent, Buckingham Palace quickly issued d a statement of their own, firing back, ack, “Discussions with the duke and d duchess are at an early stage... these are complicated issues that will take time to work through.”
