Prince Harry and Meghan Markle left the Royal Family in 2020, seeking privacy and independence. While initially wanting a quieter life, they later shared their royal experiences in interviews, a TV series, and Harry’s book, *Spare*, causing further strain with the monarchy.
Their departure was partly influenced by feeling sidelined after a royal photo featuring only Queen Elizabeth, Charles, William, and George. Though King Charles may be open to reconciling, Prince William is reportedly firm on not allowing Harry back into royal life.
