The Queen was left ‘hurt and exhausted’ by Harry and Meghan’s decision to step down as senior members of the Royal Family and move to the US, a royal book has claimed.
In The New Royals – Queen Elizabeth’s Legacy and the Future of the Crown, author Katie Nicholl says a source close to Her late Majesty claimed she didn’t like to think about the Duke and Duchess’s decision to leave the family.
An extract of the book, which has been published in Vanity Fair, has revealed the Queen was also disappointed when Harry and Meghan didn’t return to the UK in August with Archie and Lilibet, where she was hosting an annual ‘sleepover’ in Sandringham with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
