Was the "Megxit" a "Haxit"?

The fact is: Prince Harry and his wife Meghan have withdrawn from the front lines of the British Royals. But who is this decision based on? So far, many speculated that the Duchess had pushed for the step. But now the matter appears in a different light.

Prince Harry was said to be the driving force behind the decision to leave the royal family, not his wife Duchess Meghan. An informant not mentioned by name now explained to the British newspaper "The Sun". In this respect, "Megxit" - a compound word from "Meghan" and "Exit" - is a misleading term. Harry is even supposed to "detest" them.

In the biography "Finding Freedom: Harry and Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family" by the co-authors Carolyn Durand and Omid Scobie, which will be published on August 11, Harry should take a stand on this. "The word 'Megxit' in particular has always annoyed Prince Harry. It gives the impression that the decision to leave the royal family was made by Meghan," the informant is quoted verbatim.

The reality, however, was "that Harry pushed this decision forward". The book will make this clear and explain why it had to happen, the insider further reveals in advance. Harry had been "unhappy for a long, long time" and then "Meghan supported Harry's decision", it continues.

Did Meghan sense a "conspiracy"?

It is clear that the 38-year-old should have taken the step if you believe the informant of "The Sunday Times", who is also not mentioned by name. Accordingly, Meghan was worried about her reputation shortly after moving into Kensington Palace. She is even believed to have believed in a "conspiracy" by the royal court employees. "She was convinced that there was a conspiracy against her, so she basically pulled herself into isolation when they [and Harry] moved to Frogmore," said an alleged friend of the newspaper.

"I think she felt like an outsider from the start. It wasn't the life she was used to and she wanted to get out," he continues. She also missed her mother and friends in Los Angeles.

Harry and Meghan have been married since May 19, 2018. In spring 2020, they resigned as senior royals. After the so-called "Megxit", they emigrated with their son Archie to Canada and then to the USA. The Brit and the American currently living in a Los Angeles mansion owned by US actor Tyler Perry.
