Andrew Morton said the monarch would have been “understanding” of the Duke and Duchess of Sussexes’ decision to leave the Firm on the “Pod Save the King” podcast.
The writer attributes his statements to the fact that the Queen and her late husband Prince Philip lived in Malta for two years following their wedding.
“Back in the late 1940s after they married, The Queen and Prince Philip lived in Malta for a while as he was pursuing his career in the Royal Navy,” Morton, 69, said. “Many thought he would end up as First Lord of the Admiralty as he was such a star.” Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stand on the balcony of Buckingham Palace as the royal family attend events to mark the Centenary of the RAF on July 10, 2018.He also noted how the Invictus Games founder and the former “Suits” actress were first thinking about moving to New Zealand and even spoke to the Prime Minister the country at one point.
“They had all kinds of plots and thoughts for their future,” he claimed, adding: “It didn’t work out because when it actually comes down to it, Prince Harry is cursed with charisma but hates being a prince and I think that he saw Meghan as a way out. They didn’t have to leave the Royal Family in the way that they did, but they did.”
“The Queen has always been very understanding of anybody who wants to step back for a few years and just enjoy family life because you’re a long time being a royal,” the journalist pointed out.Morton achieved worldwide fame when he published the biography of Harry’s mother Princess Diana in 1992. She had secretly recorded tapes of content that she passed to Morton in order for him to ghostwrite her thoughts on paper for the world to read.
