  • Announcement: Meghan Markle and Prince Harry "step back" as members of British royalty

Harry and Meghan have provoked a "civil war" in the British Royal Family, which has turned Kate Middleton's 38th birthday celebration at Kensington Palace into something like a "summary trial" for the decision of the Dukes of Sussex's stop being "senior members" of the Windsor, seek "financial independence" and live on horseback between the United Kingdom and North America.

Queen Elizabeth II is "deeply dismayed" by her grandson's decision. Prince Charles and Prince William "shrieked in rage" after hearing the news, according to 'The Sun', which baptized the scandal as the 'Megxit'. Harry (35 years old) and Meghan (38) kept their decision virtually secret and skipped all the protocols of the Royal House.

The queen did know. As revealed by 'The Evening Standard', Isabel II personally asked Harry to wait a few days, until a meeting was held at Sandringham. But his grandson decided not to wait, it is not known if by choice or by Meghan, and the announcement came a few hours after his return to London, after six weeks of long Christmas holidays in Canada, which resulted in everything type of speculation

Harry has not only provoked the outrage of the queen, but also that of his father, Prince Charles, and especially that of his brother, William, with whom he has a very tense relationship since his wedding with Meghan in May 2018.

"It has been like a declaration of war on the family," Buckingham Palace sources told 'The Sun'. "There is a fury over the way they have done it, without pondering the implications for an institution like the Crown. The plan was to discuss it internally and find a formula that would work for everyone in the family."

The 'Megxit' has caused popular outrage among the British, with the tabloids proclaiming the biggest crisis of the 'Royals' since the abdication of Edward VIII (to marry the American Wallis Simpson). 'The Daily Mail' went further than anyone with an article by Piers Morgan referring to the couple as "the greatest brat in history" and asking the queen to snatch the title of Dukes of Sussex.

The real anger could be felt between the lines since Buckingham's first official statement after the news was made public: "The talks with the Dukes of Sussex are at an early stage. We understand your desire to take a new path, but these are complicated issues that will take time to be resolved. "

Despite the effort of the rest of the royal family to make pineapple around Kate Middleton on the occasion of her birthday, the pressure is increasing on the queen to respond to the challenge of her wayward grandson. The experts in the Royal House warn that the monarch has a wide range of options, from allowing them to play a secondary role in the British Commonwealth (taking advantage of their future and foreseeable stays in Canada) to effectively withdraw their titles.

The anger of Isabel II was already long and came into view when in her Christmas speech, surrounded by family photos, the photo of Harry and Meghan with her son Archie shone by her absence (they had decided to give the Christmas conclave of Sandrigham and they had gone on vacation on their own to a distant mansion on Vancouver Island).

In the official announcement, the couple reveals their intention to divide their lives between the United Kingdom and North America. They also express their desire to pursue their "financial independence", possibly creating a foundation focused on ecological issues and using an internet platform as a continuation of their current website www.sussexroyal.com.

"In 2020, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have chosen to transition to a new model," can be read on the web. "By stepping back as" senior "members of the Royal Family, they will not receive funding through the Sovereign Assignment. Their aspiration is to be members of the Royal Family with financial independence."

The couple received to date about six million euros a year - shared with William - of Sovereign Assignment. The two also share a similar amount of the Duchy of Cornwall and an allocation of 1.2 million euros for "unofficial" expenses. Harry also has an estimated assets of more than 50 million euros for the inheritance of Princess Diana, while Meghan's personal fortune is estimated at about 6.5 million euros for her work in the Suits series.
