I blame ‘tempestuous’ Meghan for forcing Prince Harry to leave Britain, says Sun legend
MEGHAN Markle is responsible for forcing Prince Harry to leave Britain, according to a royal expert.
Speaking of our very first ever Royal exclusive live showlegendary sun photographer Arthur Edwards told how he saw Harry change after a relationship with the American actress.
Arthur said Meghan was initially “fantastic” and a huge asset to the royal family – but “suddenly everything changed”.
He told Matt Wilkinson, Royal Editor of The Sun: “The first year with Meghan she was fantastic. I traveled with them everywhere.
‘She was a star who engaged with the public and did everything you would expect from a lady who married into the royal family.
“Then suddenly everything changed.”
Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond claimed on the show that it was “quite short-sighted” how the Sussexes handled their stepping down as senior working royals in 2020.
Matt said: “The problem was that Harry and Meghan were so impetuous that they made that decision straight away.
“They posted it on Instagram, didn’t they, the night they decided it before they actually discussed it with the Queen, they threw it out there and said they had more or less made the decision that they were going to leave.”
Arthur agreed, “There was no choice, he went, right?”
“Meghan said ‘we’re going’ and that was it.
“And as we say, he made that decision and disappeared. That was his choice.”
The photographer said that decision was “fair enough” but slammed the Sussexes for “being really mean about their family here at the time, those two, just to make things right.” money.”
After stepping back from his royal duties, Prince Harry released his impressive Spare memoir and the Sussexes debuted their Harry & Meghan Netflix documentary, which provided an introduction to royal life.
Harry ‘cut everyone to death’
The respected photographer recalled how Prince Harry “used to be so much fun” during public appearances, but this all changed when he started dating Meghan.
He said: “I remember when he met the Jamaican Prime Minister, he just hugged her instead of saying ‘hello ma’am, nice to meet you’.
“And I said ‘what did you do that for’ and he said ‘because my dad said she likes to cuddle so I thought I’d go in first’ and he was like that, it was so nice.”
He added: “And then we went to Brazil and he plays football with the children on the beach and he runs along a road race and when he finished the race he had a picture of William on his face.
“He was fun and he was surprising.
There was no choice, he went, right?

Meghan said ‘we’re going’ and that was it
‘And he always said, ‘I’ll do anything to make it right for you,’ and that’s what shocked me when he cut us all to death, that one time in Manchester.’
“I will never forget it and I was shocked. It was the very day he met Meghan or the day he fell in love with Meghan, and it all changed since then.
“I’m sad about that because he was a wonderful person to work with.”
Harry’s British plan
This is because Prince Harry is said to be willing to do more work in Britain and has contacted friends.
However, Arthur said he has doubts whether life will be the same for the Sussexes when they move across the pond from their £12million Californian home.

He added: “I don’t think it’s possible here at the moment.
“There are so many bad feelings about the book, the Oprah Winfrey interview and some of the Netflix stuff they have in the pipeline, maybe that’s even more damaging.
“I don’t think she could come here to visit with him, maybe she could.”
Jennie added: “I don’t think she wants that.”
