Prince Harry 'driving force' behind Royal Family row not Meghan …
Prince Harry was the "driving force" behind his and Meghan Markle's decision to leave the royal family, a source quoted in a new book has explosively claimed. While many across the world "blame" former Suits actress Meghan Markle for the Sussexes' 2020 decision to step back from royal duties, an aide quoted in journalist Robert Jobson's new book that this downplays Prince Harry's role in Megxit. "Some blame Meghan Markle for the fallout, ignoring the fact that Harry seems to be the driving force in everything that happened," a Palace aide told Jobson for his new book, "Our King: Charles III: The Man and the Monarch Revealed".

The explosive claim comes just a few weeks before the Sussexes may potentially be returning to London to celebrate the coronation of King Charles, though they have still not RSVP'd to Buckingham Palace's invitations. This is despite the deadline for responding to the historic event being a week-and-a-half ago.
The couple's refusal to confirm their plans has thrown a spanner in the works for behind-the-scenes organisers, who have been left scrambling to figure out plans. Given how high-profile Harry and Meghan currently are, weeks of planning are required to sort out the not-so-royal couple's complex transport and security arrangements.

Even if they do show their faces, they will play a very small role on the day, with King Charles refusing to invite them to stand and wave at crowds on the balcony of Buckingham Palace because they aren't working members of the Firm. Harry and Meghan announced that they would be stepping down from their working royal roles in 2020, eventually settling in glitzy Montecito, California.
Since their announcement, their popularity has been steadily declining, with both of them facing a sharp drop in ratings following the publication of Prince Harry's explosive memoir, which made several massive allegations against several members of the Firm.
