Prince Harry is “heartbroken” over quitting the royal family — but wife Meghan Markle pushed for Megxit because being a royal is “not working” for her, according to a report Monday.
As senior royals are set to meet Monday for crisis talks at the Queen’s country estate, Sandringham, Duke of Sussex Harry, 35, is still tormented at the idea of a permanent break and hopes instead for a “halfway house” giving him some involvement, sources told The Times of London.
Duchess of Sussex Meghan, 38, however, is still determined to leave, leaving her husband torn, a source close to them told the paper.
“She wants to leave,” a source told the UK paper. “She thinks, ‘It’s not working for me.’ He is under intense pressure to choose. It is sad.
“He loves the Queen. He loves this country. He loves all his military stuff. I think it will genuinely break his heart to leave.”
The source stressed, “I don’t think that’s what he really wants. I think they want some halfway house.”
The Times stressed that the fact Meghan only spent a few days in the UK before returning to Canada after their break there for the holidays showed her “determination to leave” her duties in the UK.
Before the planned summit Monday, the Queen has made it clear that she wants the Sussexes’ future settled within days, not weeks, The Times said.
Meghan is expected to join the discussion over the phone from Canada, where she is staying with baby Archie.
Senior royal officials, including private secretaries and press advisers, have spent two days locked in talks to work out various solutions to be put to the royal family at the summit, the report said.
