Prince Harry “reluctantly left” as a senior member of the Royal Family after being issued with a six-word ultimatum, an expert has said. The Duke of Sussex, along with the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, announced their decision to leave the Firm in January 2020, soon moving to Canada before relocating to California where they still live.

In his new biography, ‘Queen Elizabeth II: A Personal History’, historian Hugo Vickers said prior to stepping down, Harry wanted “a half-in, half-out arrangement, whereby he would be self-financing but could still work for the Royal Family”. However, Mr Vickers said after a meeting with senior Royal officials in early 2020, he was told it was “either all in or all out”. “He [Harry] returned to Canada — reluctantly out,” Mr Vickers wrote, according to Metro
