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. Totally hopeless.’ Evidently…
The discussion took place at a UK-Africa investment summit in London, during one of the Duke of Sussex’s final appearances as a working member of the royal family. A friend of the former PM’s told the Daily Mail that Johnson lauded Harry’s work with the Invictus Games – and even offered praise Meghan’s way, nodding towards her work on the education of women in developing countries. ‘Boris succeeded in delivering Brexit, but even he couldn’t stop Megxit,’ the insider lamented. What a shame…
Yet since then, the dynamic duo have been slammed as, er, ‘grifters‘ by business execs working with them and even dubbed Holywood’s biggest losers by their local newspaper. It seems Britain isn’t missing out on too much after all, eh?
