When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle envisioned their future, they had dreams of creating a global "philanthropy brand." It was a bold and exciting idea, one that would allow them to make a difference on a massive scale. But as it turns out, the wheels of Buckingham Palace don’t always turn in the direction everyone expects. Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles have reportedly stepped in, putting a halt to those plans. Instead, Her Majesty wants the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to establish an official household of aides and staffers within the palace itself — all under the careful watch of the crown.
The Royal Couple’s Vision Hits a Roadblock
Prince Harry, 34, and Meghan Markle, 37, had hoped to create a new court that would operate independently of Buckingham Palace. Imagine them setting up their own little world, free from the constraints of the traditional monarchy. But here’s the catch: the 92-year-old Queen Elizabeth and the 70-year-old Prince of Wales, who are footing the bill for this office, weren’t exactly thrilled with the idea. According to a royal insider, the couple lobbied hard for their vision, but ultimately, their request was denied. The palace isn’t interested in letting Harry and Meghan go off on their own.
Why the Queen Said No
So why did the Queen put her foot down? Well, according to the Sunday Times of London, the monarchy feels it’s important to keep Harry and Meghan under the jurisdiction of Buckingham Palace. Picture this: if they were allowed to operate independently, who knows what they might do? The palace wants to ensure that the Sussexes remain aligned with the family’s overall mission and values. A source revealed, “They wanted their household to be entirely independent of Buckingham Palace, but were told ‘no.’”
