\"What'sPrince Harry And Meghan Markle We all remember the royal bombshell of 2020\u2014 Prince Harry<\/a> and Meghan Markle<\/a> officially stepping down from royal duties. At the time, it was painted as a dramatic escape from media intrusion and family tension. But according to royal biographer Valentine Low, there\u2019s more to the story than meets the eye\u2014 and it\u2019s not just about privacy or palace politics that made Prince Harry and Meghan to leave their royal life behind in Britain.In his book ‘Courtiers’, Low sheds light on what he claims is the real motivation behind the Duke and Duchess of Sussex\u2019s big royal exit: freedom, money, and brand-building.According to the New York Post, Low writes that Harry and Meghan’s desire for independence was deeply tied to their ambition\u2014 not just to live a quieter life in California, but to create their own global identity, get involved in causes they care about, and yes, to make serious money.As Low puts it, Meghan \u201cwanted to make money\u201d\u2014 and doing that within the constraints of royal protocol was practically impossible. Royal rules don’t exactly allow for side hustles, Netflix deals, or lifestyle brands. So, to pursue their own ventures, the couple had to break free.While the couple initially floated the idea of a \u201chybrid\u201d model\u2014 still performing select royal duties while earning independently\u2014 the Palace quickly shut that down. Queen Elizabeth II reportedly insisted that being royal was an all-or-nothing commitment. Half-in, half-out just didn\u2019t fly.And so, the Sussexes packed their bags and made California home, where they wasted no time in turning their post-royal lives into a business empire. In 2020, they reportedly signed a $100 million deal with Netflix and have since launched various projects, including Meghan\u2019s podcast and her soon-to-launch lifestyle brand. It\u2019s safe to say they\u2019ve swapped palace gates for digital platforms.And it\u2019s not just business. There\u2019s been plenty of buzz about their growing presence in U.S. political circles too. Meghan\u2019s well-documented connections\u2014 like her rapport with President Biden\u2019s sister, Valerie Biden Owens\u2014 have often fueled speculation that politics could be on the horizon, especially for Meghan.So, was it really just about press pressure and palace drama for Harry and Meghan to leave the British Royal family? Or was it a smart power move to step out of the shadow of the Crown and into a global spotlight of their own making?Either way, one thing\u2019s clear: Harry and Meghan didn\u2019t just leave royalty\u2014 they rewrote the rulebook.<\/p>\n
