KEY POINTS

  • Meghan Markle reportedly quit the royal family because she can't be the top dog
  • The Duchess of Sussex quit The Firm because she can't pull everyone's strings
  • Meghan Markle doesn't like to be told what to do 

Meghan Markle is still being blamed for her and Prince Harry’s recent decision to quit the royal family. Last month, the royal couple said that they want to be financially independent of The Firm.

UK TalkRADIO host Mike Graham discussed the royal couple’s bombshell exit and shared what he thinks was the reason behind the Duchess of Sussex’s decision. He said that Markle probably quit because she doesn’t want to be told what to do.

“One of the reasons we are told that she left the royal family is because she wasn’t that comfortable about not being the top dog and not being able to pull everybody’s strings and get what she wanted. She is going to really be raging about this,” Graham said.

However, royal historian Anna Whitlock didn’t agree with Graham’s statement and said that his allegations are a bit unfair. But Graham tried to explain further.

“Well, let me put it this way. If Harry hadn’t managed to marry Meghan Markle, I don’t think he would be disappearing off to Canada and having a sort of general break with his family, do you?” he said.

Whitlock responded by saying that Prince Harry has also opened up about being uncomfortable with the royal family even before he met Markle.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Markle’s efforts to cash-in on their Sussex Royal name was halted after the Queen banned them from doing so. As such, it is possible for the royal couple to change their Instagram handle, as well as the name of their website.

Royal expert Angela Mollard talked about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s possible absence from Princess Beatrice’s royal wedding on May 29. She said on the “Royals” podcast that it would be a tremendous stink if the royal couple would snub Princess Beatrice’s invitation.

However, there are also some rumors suggesting that Princess Beatrice might not invite the royal couple to her wedding.
