LIVE: EXCLUSIVE ‘It’s Unforgivable’: Royal Insiders React as Harry and Meghan Tear Up Queen’s Megxit Deal
Show notes
"It's unforgivable." A friend of the Sussexes has told Hello! magazine that Harry and Meghan never agreed to the Sandringham settlement the late Queen hammered out in January 2020, and do not consider themselves bound by it. "They never agreed they wouldn't be half in half out," the friend said. "That was what was decided and foisted upon them." "Half in, half out" was the very thing Queen Elizabeth II ruled out at Sandringham. It was the central tenet of Megxit, and the basis on which the entire post-Megxit structure was built (the HRHs held in abeyance, the loss of the military appointments, the end of public funding). Six years on, the Sussexes' position is that none of it counts. Tom Sykes reports on why the statement has gone down so badly with friends of the late Queen and the King.
