Prince Harry and Meghan Markle rushed to drop their “Megxit” bombshell announcement because a UK tabloid was about to break the story, according to a report on Thursday.
London’s The Sun newspaper got wind of internal talks regarding the couple’s status, making them feel forced to announce their plans to defect from the royal family prematurely on Wednesday — before even notifying Queen Elizabeth II, The New York Times reported.
The drama started just before Christmas, with Harry calling up his dad, Prince Charles, to propose an arrangement where he and his wife would let go of some of their duties, live abroad part-time and attempt to support themselves, a source told the Times.
Charles reportedly asked for a written proposal before discussing the issue further — and Harry sent a draft while vacationing in Vancouver earlier this month, according to the Evening Standard.
Again, Charles told Harry that the palace would need more time to hash out such a plan, and how to fund it.
Harry then asked for a summit with the Queen at her estate on the Norfolk Coast.
She responded that while she would love to meet with him, she would not discuss his altering his royal role until he had talked about it in greater detail with his father.
The Queen then gave her grandson strict instructions not to make any announcement, the sources told the Standard.
Charles and other family members were going to meet later this month to discuss Harry and Meghan’s potential new roles, according to the Times.
But the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, fearing the story would get out, went ahead with the announcement anyway — only alerting Charles and Harry’s brother, Prince William, 10 minutes before they released their declaration of independence.
The Queen was “deeply upset,” The Sun reported.
“Harry and Meghan will be punished for this,” the Standard added, citing senior palace sources.
“Their statement was not cleared with anyone. It breaks all protocol,” the sources added.
