#Megxit: Meghan Markle & Prince Harry quit the royal family to become financially independent

Harry and Meghan have been blasted by aides who claim the royal family 'bent over backwards for them' since they got together in 2016 only for the rebel couple to quit anyway without consulting the Queen, Prince Charles and Prince William.

Their dramatic decision was taken without the knowledge of their family, who learnt about the announcement as it broke on television news channels last night. The couple, who plan to split their time between Britain and North America, 'pressed the nuclear button' and made the bombshell announcement just days after returning from a six-week break in Canada.
One exasperated aide said: 'People had bent over backwards for them. They were given the wedding they wanted, the house they wanted, the office they wanted, the money they wanted, the staff they wanted, the tours they wanted and had the backing of their family. What more did they want?'
Another royal source said: 'It's deeply unfair to the Queen who doesn't deserve to be treated this way. It is a shoddy way to treat her. The family understands that they want to do something different and is perfectly willing to help them. People are just devastated.' A senior royal source said the Queen and her family were 'deeply disappointed'.
Another said the royals were 'shocked, saddened and downright furious' at the couple.
