New claims about the ‘real reason’ Harry and Meghan left the royal family might surprise you
A royal author has claimed Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left the royal family primarily to pursue financial independence. In his book *Courtiers*, Valentine Low suggests the couple explored options like limited royal duties but ultimately realized true autonomy required leaving “the firm.” He alleges Meghan particularly wanted to earn her own money—something impossible under royal restrictions.
Low also speculates political ambitions may have influenced their move to America, where they’ve developed ties to the Biden family. While royals must remain politically neutral, Meghan reportedly received encouragement from Valerie Biden Owens about a potential White House role. The author notes the Queen insisted they couldn’t perform official duties without adhering to royal protocols—leading to their 2020 exit.
