The royal expert claimed that it was that specific picture that made Harry and Meghan decide to pull the plug as they felt ‘snubbed’.

“The royal couple suspected that the entire institution was conspiring against them. As they saw it, the evidence was all around them. The unspoken code was straightforward: the future of the monarchy was assured, with or without Meghan and Harry,” Morton wrote, as per Express.

Only two days after the picture was released, Harry and Meghan officially revealed they were leaving the Royal Family. Moreover, Morton claims that Harry and Meghan had already had plans on leaving royal life far earlier, and had discussed it as early as six months after their wedding.

“Harry was having conversations in a London hotel with Oprah Winfrey back in November 2018, just six months after they’d been married. So they were thinking about a different direction of travel pretty early on,” Morton wrote.

Queen Elizabeth was ‘deeply hurt’ that they left

While Harry and Meghan felt happy about leaving royal life behind, not everyone was pleased with their call. According to author and royal expert Katie Nicholl, Queen Elizabeth was sad that the Sussexes had decided to step down from their senior royal roles.

In her book The New Royals: Queen Elizabeth’s Legacy and the Future of the Crown, she claimed that Queen Elizabeth actually wrote a letter to Harry and Meghan after they had left – and she was deeply hurt by 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,’” an insider told Nicholl.

Moreover, Nicholl claimed that the Queen was angry about not being able to spend more time with Harry and Meghan’s children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. One of her big disappointments was that the couple hadn’t brought their children to Balmoral, where she used to arrange sleepovers with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

“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,” Nicholl wrote in The New Royals: Queen Elizabeth’s Legacy and the Future of the Crown.

Harry didn’t leave his beloved grandmother out of his book, Spare, writing about the terrible moment he found out about her death.

Prince Harry’s final words to the late Queen Elizabeth

Harry had gotten a call from his father, then Prince Charles, who said her health had worsened. Harry traveled to Balmoral – where he was asked not to bring Meghan – but when he touched ground in Scotland, he found out that his grandmother had passed away through the BBC News website.

“When the plane started to descend I saw that my phone lit up. It was a message from Meg: ‘Call me when you get this,’” Harry wrote.

“I looked at the BBC website. My grandmother had died. My father was King.”

Harry continued by describing how Princess Anne welcomed him to Balmoral and took him upstairs to where Queen Elizabeth lay. He then revealed the last words he ever told her.

“I advanced with uncertainty and saw her. I stayed still, watching her carefully for a good while I whispered that I hoped she was happy and that she was with Grandfather now,” Harry wrote.

He added: “I said that I admired her for having carried out her duties until the end – the jubilee, the welcoming of the new Prime Minister.”

Harry might have made a fortune by speaking out about the royals and revealing many things about them, but his family members have become increasingly frustrated. Frankly, members of the public have also taken ill with his claims, one of which was about Queen Elizabeth II.

Royal aids claimed Harry was “tasteless” with Queen Elizabeth claim

In an interview with ITV’s Tabloids on Trial, Harry claimed that Queen Elizabeth had “supported” his legal battles regarding getting his own security while in the UK, even though he was no longer a member of the Royal Family.

“We had many conversations before she passed, and this is very much something that she supported,” the Duke claimed. “She knew how much this meant to me and she’s very much up there saying ‘See this through to the end.’”

According to the Daily Mail, Buckingham Palace courtiers were “unimpressed” by Harry’s claim. Meanwhile, the Daily Mail’s royal expert, Richard Eden, claimed many had found the comment inappropriate. In a column for the newspaper, he wrote that royal aides were upset about the Duke’s “tasteless” attempt to convince Queen Elizabeth to support his “crusade.”

There have been talks about Harry and his future, and some experts suggest that he is missing his old life in the UK and all that comes with it.

If it came down to it, there could even be a way back for him into royal life, but according to royal expert Hilary Fordwich, that would never happen as long as Prince William was present.

“Prince William has laid down an absolute ban on Harry returning”

Speaking to Fox, Fordwich said William had banned his brother from ever returning.

“It is widely known within the family that Prince William has laid down an absolute ban on Harry returning in any way, shape or form into his former royal family fold,” Fordwich told Fox.

“If anyone will relent, it would be King Charles III, whom, of course, Prince William won’t challenge, who still misses his ‘darling boy’ and would like to see more of Prince Harry,” Fordwich added. “However, to this day, after the release of ‘Spare’ and the Netflix serial, as well as with everything else Harry has said, done, and not done, it’s Prince William who adamantly refuses to even speak to his brother.”
