Speaking to Meghan & Harry: The Rise & Fall, Anna claimed it was the lack of privacy surrounding their son Archie’s birth in May 2019 kickstarted the Mexgit process.
She told the Channel 5 show: “I think that started to sour things (lack of privacy after Archie’s birth) and then of course it’s easy to add the moniker that they’re entitled, they’re going to do it their way, they’re difficult, they’re not playing the royal game.
“I think there was definitely the sense that the pressure is building, cracks were starting to show and that there was a friction.”
Former royal butler Paul Burrell also had his say on why Prince Harry and Meghan left the Royal Family.
