The talk of Brexit almost calmed down in Britain, until a very loud and exciting "Megsett" debate arose, referring to Prince Harry and his wife Meghan's decision to withdraw permanently from the royal family, not to return to the country and settle in the United States, and what this provoked in terms of reactions from the royal family, And led by Queen Elizabeth, who announced that Harry would be stripped of all military titles and the right to sponsor charitable and official institutions from him and his wife.

The royal family did not go through a similar crisis for decades, especially since the debate between the Queen and her grandson William took an upward turn, due to the prince’s anger at being denied any public service in the public kingdom, considering him “public service” a right, and his insistence on serving the community.

This response angered William, who reported media leaks about being angry and shocked at the way his brother responded to his grandmother and the symbolism that she represents in the country, and what made matters worse is Harry and his wife conducting an interview with the famous American journalist Aabra Winfrey, which will be broadcast on the same day of the Queen's speech (March 7) / March) in a new confrontation, this time live.

Harry does not practice a new behavior by withdrawing from the royal family, so other princes accepted him, but withdrew, but for different reasons, and these are the most famous cases of withdrawal from under the shadow of the British throne.

Marriage before the crown

The marriage caused King Edward VIII to give up his right to the throne in 1936, when he decided to marry Wallis Sebson, a divorced American woman, at which time the church refused to allow this marriage because the king does not have the right to marry a divorced woman, and as the head of the church at the time, he must obey its rules.

After that, the king decided to give up the throne in order to preserve his marriage, and Parliament approved this matter, and the throne was handed over to his brother George VI, father of Elizabeth II, after which the title of Edward VIII became Duke of Windsor, after which he immigrated to France as a voluntary exile and did not play any official role.

Despite what appears from the similarities between the story of King Henry VIII and Prince Harry, the difference in the legal status, the former legally abdicated the throne, unlike Harry, who continues to withdraw his military titles and prevent him from public service in recognition, and the powers of the Queen.

Courage of the Princess

In 1919, Princess Patrice, the granddaughter of Queen Victoria, was the first woman of the royal family to decide to withdraw from the royal ocean, also due to marriage, as she gave up her princely titles in order to marry a naval officer named Alexander Ramsey.

Just as Harry decided to immigrate to settle in the United States, Patrice decided to settle in Canada, with which she had a special relationship, as her father was the governor general there and she was popular among people to the extent that her image appeared in some coins, but her arrangement in the throne remains far away, compared to Bahari, who is considered the second son of the crown prince, and fourth in the throne.

Diana's divorce

The story of Harry's mother, Princess Diana, is the most famous and complex exit from the royal family, given the dramatic events that accompanied her. After her divorce from Prince Charles in 1996, the title of "Her Highness the Princess" was withdrawn from her, and yet she kept the title "Princess of Wales." .

The reason for retaining this title is that Diana was considered the mother of the next king of Britain, and for this reason she maintained an important position despite her separation from the crown prince, in addition to the overwhelming popularity that she enjoyed both inside and outside the United Kingdom.

Diana's divorce, and then her death, is considered the worst crisis facing Queen Elizabeth, so much so that she described the year of the princess's death as the worst of her years, given the criticisms of the royal family and the manner of dealing with Diana, who was called the princess of the people for her closeness to people.

Despite some attempts to compare Harry's departure from the royal family to what happened with his mother, some assert that Diana would not have accepted that her son's withdrawal would be so loud that it entered into a confrontation with Queen Elizabeth.

Forced withdrawal

If the previous examples are all of princes and kings who decided to voluntarily withdraw from the ruling family, then the matter differs with Andrew, the third son of Queen Elizabeth, who found himself at the heart of Jeffrey Epstein's nationality case, as the prince announced at the time in a brief statement that he asked the Queen to exempt him from all his duties Official "so as not to constitute any obstruction to family work."

Indeed, the Queen agreed to allow him to give up all his official and public duties, after the many suspicions of the relationship that brought the Prince together with Epstein for more than a decade, and yet the prince denied any relationship to any sexual issue, and it was decided not to follow up with this controversial file.

Harry's case and the way out of the palace remain full of many shocking developments sometimes for those following the affairs of the royal family who are not used to all this controversy in the relationship between its members, and the most (shocking) thing is for one of the family members to enter into something like a challenge with the Queen personally.
