Queen’s uncharacteristically damning verdict on Meghan: Balmoral guest claims the late monarch ‘raised eyebrows’ with her remarks on Harry and his wife – a month before she died

However, according to royal author Valentine Low, any prospect of a soft ‘Megxit’ was scuppered by the Sussexes over finances.
Writing in his tell-all book Courtiers, Low claims that Meghan’s desire to ‘earn money for herself’ led the couple to abandon their duties entirely.

Low revealed that during discussions about how to reach a happy middle ground – which could please the whole family – multiple scenarios were explored.
These ranged from Harry and Meghan ‘having a month a year to do their own thing’ to ‘spending most of their time privately but doing a select number of royal activities’.

The one caveat for the Sussexes continuing royal duties – however small or minor – was that they must stick to the ‘normal rules about royal behaviour’.
This would mean Harry and Meghan could not ‘act or take decisions in order to gain financially’.

Low writes: ‘Crucially, it was the Queen who took the view that unless they were prepared to abide by the restrictions that applied to working members of the Royal Family, they could not be allowed to carry out official duties.’
When Harry and Meghan welcomed their first daughter – Lilibet – in June 2021 the late Queen was allegedly left upset by the choice of name.
Lilibet was a term of endearment for Elizabeth that was only used by the royals and close friends. The name was coined by her grandfather, King George V, because Elizabeth could not pronounce her name as a toddler.
While the Sussexes chose the name as a touching tribute, it is understood Elizabeth was left upset by the decision.
