Well, well, well. When the monarchs of Montecito decided to cut ties with the UK and live stateside, Prince Harry and his wife Meghan seriously ruffled feathers in the royal family. But it now transpires that, before Harry’s big move, the Prince faced a rather curious intervention – from none other than the prime minister of the day, Boris Johnson. How very interesting…
In Johnson’s upcoming memoir, Unleased, the ex-PM claims that officials from Downing Street and Buckingham Palace are thought to have conspired together in a bid to convince Prince Harry to stay in the UK. The former Tory leader writes in his soon-to-be-published tome that it was requested he give the renegade royal a 20-minute chat in an eleventh-hour attempt to stop the Prince from relocating. Johnson described the January 2020 meeting as ‘a ridiculous business…when they made me try to persuade Harry to stay’, adding it was a ‘kind of manly pep talk.
