The late Queen Elizabeth II is said to have been “heartbroken” by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s choice to quit the royal family in 2020, known as the “Megxit.” This is according to a new book by a royal specialist.

In 2020’s “Megxit,” the Duke and Duchess of Sussex retired as senior members of the royal family. At the time, the Queen released a formal statement in which she expressed her desire for them to begin a “happy and peaceful life.”

Katie Nicholl, a royal specialist, asserts in her new book, The Royals, that the previous queen was not overjoyed with Harry and Meghan’s choice.

She (the Queen) was quite hurt and told me, “I don’t know, I don’t care, and I don’t want to think about it anymore,” according to a source who Nicholl quoted in an excerpt shared with Vanity Fair.

The 96-year-old monarch, according to a source in Nicholl’s book, “saw very little” of both Archie and Lilibet, leaving her with little opportunity to form a close relationship with them.
