A person very close to Lady Di has just set off all the alarms by confirming a sad rumor related to Prince Harry. Through a series of statements, this person has revealed the whole truth hidden behind the famous "Megxit."
The decision made by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to distance themselves from the British Royal Family in 2020 unleashed a wave of speculation and controversies that still haven't dissipated.
At that time, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle submitted their resignation, assuring that it was a personal and thoroughly considered decision. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Now, biographer Andrew Morton, known for his work on Lady Di, has shed light on what was the real trigger for the historic "Megxit." These new revelations point to a key event that would have accelerated the process.
Andrew Morton, biographer of Lady Di, reveals the moment when Prince Harry's relationship with his family broke down
According to Lady Di's biographer, everything began on January 3, 2020. That day, the British Royal Household published a picture of Queen Elizabeth II alongside Prince Charles, Prince William, and young George.
This photograph, taken in the Throne Room of Buckingham Palace, represented the three generations of future monarchs. However, what for many was a protocol image, for Prince Harry and his wife meant something much deeper.
So much so that, according to Andrew Morton in his book focused on Meghan, the message they interpreted was that they weren't included in the future of the monarchy.
"For the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, that photograph was a painful revelation. They felt they were being gradually pushed aside, erased from the royal narrative," Morton states. "The tacit code was simple: the future of the monarchy was guaranteed, with or without them," he adds.
In fact, five days after the publication of the image, Prince Harry and Meghan officially announced their departure from the British Royal Family. Although there was talk of a well-thought-out process, Morton believes that the emotional impact of that photograph was decisive in precipitating the announcement.
Nevertheless, everything suggests that the distance between Lady Di's youngest son and the rest of the family goes back a long way. According to the writer, as early as November 2018, the Duke of Sussex held a secret meeting with Oprah Winfrey in a London hotel.
"They were considering an alternative path," Lady Di's biographer states, hinting that, at that time, the differences between them were more than evident.
For now, the relationship between Prince Harry and his family remains extremely tense and distant. In fact, the recent court ruling that denied him police protection in the United Kingdom has fueled the tensions.
After the verdict became known, Lady Di's youngest son issued a statement reflecting his distrust toward the Royal Family. Meanwhile, sources close to King Charles III claim that "private conversations are no longer possible."
