Meghan Markle is still being accused of forcing Prince Harry to quit The Firm even if the latter already confirmed time and again that he was the one who wanted out. Now, former royal butler Grant Harrold is echoing the Duke of Sussex’s claims by saying that Prince Harry cannot be easily swayed.

Former Royal Butler Grant Harrold Feels Bad For Prince Harry?

While speaking with GB News host Dawn Neesom, Grant Harrold said that he believes Prince Harry, when he stressed that it was his decision to quit his royal duties and not Meghan Markle’s. After all, he knows that the Duke of Sussex is strong-willed.

“The situation is horrible. I feel a little bit for Harry. I knew him. But also, seeing he wants his father and brother back, I understand what he is trying to say, I get where he is coming from. I don’t think they’re going the right way about doing that,” he said (via Cheat Sheet).

Harrold also said that Prince Harry must have consulted Markle about his plans to quit. But ultimately, it wasn’t the Duchess of Sussex who pushed him out of the royal family.

“I don’t think Meghan pushed him out of the royal family. The Harry that I knew was a very strong-willed character. He did things that he wanted to do. Obviously, there have been reports that he was looking for a way out; I was never aware of that when I was there. But of course, as he became a working member of the royal family, maybe it wasn’t what he wanted to do. But I think it would be his choice, but obviously, he would consult his wife and family on that,” he said.

But despite his belief in Prince Harry, Harrold also said that he doesn’t think the dad of two is approaching things properly.

“The whole thing is really sad. I’ve always talked about the end game, I wonder what the end game is. He’s telling us he would like his father and brother back. They were very close. I believe that. But I don’t think they’re going the right way about doing this,” he said.

Prince Harry Reveals The Exact Moment He Knew He And Meghan Markle Should Step Back From Their Royal Duties

In their Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan, the couple detailed the real reason why they decided to leave the royal family. According to Prince Harry, he knew that it was time to leave right after the palace included his name in a joint statement with Prince William that he had no prior knowledge of.

“That day a story came out that said part of the reason Meghan and I were leaving was because William had bullied us out, and once I got in the car after the meeting with William, I was told about a joint statement that had been put out in my name and my brother’s name squashing the story about him bullying us out of the family. I couldn’t believe it. No one had asked me. No one had asked me permission to put my name on a statement like that. And I rang M, and I told her, and she burst into floods of tears, because within four hours they were happy to lie to protect my brother, and yet for three years, they were never willing, to tell the truth, to protect us,” he said (via Elle).

Prince Harry also stressed that Markle never encouraged him to leave his family behind.

“How predictable that a woman is to be blamed for the decision of a couple. In fact, it was my decision. She never asked to leave. I was the one that had to see it for myself,” he said.
