A photo of Prince George served as a 'wake up call' for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle who stepped down as 'senior' royals, an author has claimed. The couple are said to have been convinced the 'entire institution' was against them amid claims of an 'unspoken code'.
Despite a number of causes thought to have led to their departure, one picture served as a 'wake-up call', royal author Andrew Morton has said, reports the Mirror Online. Prince Harry and Meghan are said to have believed The Firm were "conspiring against them" before they announced they were stepping back from their roles as senior royals.
This sentiment allegedly reached boiling point after the Royal Family released an official photograph which showed the late Queen and her heirs, King Charles, Prince William and Prince George. The happy image was taken in the throne room at Buckingham Palace and was shared publicly at the beginning of 2020, just days before Harry and Meghan made their announcement.
