Harry and Meghan 'said to be upset' over Christmas photo that 'influenced exit'
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's decision to exit the Royal Family in 2020 is said to be due to a key moment during the Queen's 2019 Christmas broadcast.
Harry and Meghan stepped down as senior royals in January 2020. Angry about media intrusion, they were frustrated that Buckingham Palace prevented them developing their "SussexRoyal" brand. Harry remains a prince and is fifth in line to the throne.
A high-profile departure to the couple's Archewell Philanthropies foundation has cast a light on problems within the Sussex brand.
