Prince Harry wanted to leave Royal Family and Meghan was 'catalyst' for exit, friend says

Prince Harry "wanted out from the crazy cult of royalty" since childhood but only managed to leave after meeting Meghan Markle as she was a "catalyst" for it, a friend of the Sussexes has claimed.

Journalist Bryony Gordon, who worked with Harry during her mental health campaigning in 2016, says the couple's new Netflix documentary is "neither contrived nor fake".

Ms Gordon, who has formed a bond with the couple over the past six years and has even had afternoon tea with the couple at the Sussexes' home, said the Netflix series portrays "a pretty normal couple in pretty abnormal circumstances".
