I would say Harry did lay it all out...but the Firm said no.
We do not know for sure but just MAYBE they did tell the Queen what they wanted for their future, to step back and earn their own money. The Queen may have said no or let’s wait and see, let’s try it this way or that way. I firmly believe Harry wanted to leave the public life a long time ago, especially when his past gf’s did not want to be part of the public and Royal life. Harry saw this more and more with each gf. Then there was William and Kate...the trio ran around together and They could have pressured Harry into staying on board. When Megan came along, Harry had support first from his gf who he kept silent about for some time, later his wife. They did IMO try the Royal life to appease the Queen...the Firm’s pressure, but it appears it still was too much for Harry. He carried around a lot of grief and burdens since his mum died. Megan supported Harry in what ever he wanted to do....what was best for Harry. It may have taken longer but Harry would have left the spotlight and Firm. That is one reason why he stayed in the military he was away from the Firm and pressures, being as normal as possible. Yet, Harry left the military because he was called to come back...work the Firm. Most people blame Megan, everything is her fault, she changed Harry, she decided all of this, when I believe Harry wanted all this change years ago all Megan did was support Harry, her husband. Actually the blame goes to the Queen and Charles....they are very very old, old fashion. Change is not to be, they want things to stay the same, they want total control. Diana fought the Firm too and looked what happened. The Queen and Charles have not really modernized the Firm at all. In the future I would not be surprised to see that when William is King he will have no say so in the government at all. Just be a figure head of the Royal family. Other royal Families are slimming down, the siblings of the future monarchs are private citizens and have their own careers. This should be for the Firm too. This entire process went down because in the back ground, which we are not privy too, the Queen and Charles did not want change and William just went along with them. I am tired of the bashing of Megan as the problem for all of this, however this will continue. Harry looks a lot happier, he picked his own wife, his own way now and for the future for his family. I bet William is just a bit jealous for that freedom. Many, many of those here will not agree with me and that’s fine. We all have our own opinions. I just get real tired of the bashing of Megan, the fact that they were not upfront with EG he Firm, which IMO I believe they did tell them but the Firm wanted no change. Now it has come to the media and the world to make all the comments yet we do not know what happened behind closed doors, we can only assume or we actually say what we want to have happened. Like I said this is my opinion like others have theirs.
