In his new book, Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown<\/i>which is being serialized by The Times <\/i>of London, Valentine Low cites \u201ca surprising source\u2014someone who knows Harry well but remains upset about what Harry and Meghan did\u201d\u2014as saying: \u201cThere is a part of me that thinks Meghan did Harry the greatest kindness anyone could do to him , which was to take him out of the royal family, because he was just desperately unhappy in the last couple of years in his working life. We knew he was unhappy, but we didn’t really know what the solution would be. She came along and found the solution.\u201d<\/p>\n
Low, who is the respected royal correspondent for The Times<\/em>has previously alleged in the book that Meghan’s treatment of staff left them, on occasion, \u201cshaking\u201d with fear.<\/p>\nHowever he also says in the book that Meghan and Harry felt \u201ccornered\u201d by the \u201cridiculous rules\u201d over what they could and couldn’t do and the Palace’s \u201cinflexibility.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another source reported the Palace’s handling of the crisis as \u201cincompetent beyond belief,\u201d adding, \u201cIt just required the decision-makers to sit around a table and say, ‘OK, what are we going to do about this? What do you need to feel better? And what can we give?’\u201d<\/p>\n
Low quotes a source who told him: \u201cIn Meghan and the household, you had two worlds that had no experience of each other, had no way to relate to each other, had no way to comprehend each other. And Meghan was never going to fit in that model and that model was never going to tolerate the Meghan who Meghan wanted to be.\u201d<\/p>\n
Low also adds, however, that in the early days of the exit negotiations, a serious effort was made to find a solution with five different scenarios being wargamed, \u201cwhich ranged from Harry and Meghan spending most of their time being working members of the royal family, but having a month a year to do their own thing, to them spending most of their time privately, but doing a select number of royal activities.\u201d<\/p>\n
Story continues<\/button><\/p>\nLow says that at one point then-Prince Charles’s private secretary Clive Alderton \u201cmade the point that if they could get this right, they would be solving a problem for future generations of the royal family who were not in the direct line of succession.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ultimately, however, it was Queen Elizabeth who declared that royal rules around individuals earning money and being apolitical had to be sacrosanct, and that if Harry and Meghan wanted to \u201cmake money\u201d or \u201cdip their toes into American politics\u201d they \u201ccould not be allowed to carry out official duties.\u201d<\/p>\n
The notion of \u201ccompromise,\u201d Low says, was ultimately \u201cremoved by the queen.\u201d<\/p>\n
