Meghan Markle did the "greatest kindness to a desperately unhappy" Prince Harry with 'Megxit', a new book has claimed. The book, Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown by Valentine Low, explores what happened when Harry, 38, and Meghan, 41, sensationally left the royal family in early 2020.The couple, who married in 2018, announced their plans to leave The Firm on January 8, via a statement on their now-defunct website, Sussex Royal.
According to the book, an extract of which was in The Times, Harry was left "incensed" after sending an email in late 2019, telling his father that they were "desperately unhappy", and had plans to live more permanently in North America, where they had been staying with their baby son, Archie.

The book also claimed that Harry had tried to speed up matters by arranging to see his grandmother alone before he left Canada, before the message was conveyed to him that the Queen had been confused about her diary, and was 'no longer available'.
