Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have long cut ties with the royal family, but their decision to quit The Firm is still making headlines today. Following a series of shocking revelations from the couple, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are now being accused of leaving the royal family in a huff for their personal gain.
Megyn Kelly Claims Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Left The Firm In A Huff
In their Netflix documentary, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stressed that they were left with no other choice but to cut ties with the institution. However, host Megyn Kelly thinks that this wasn't the case.
"There was obviously a way for them to leave their royal roles and stay in England and continue serving the people of England. There are plenty of royals who are not working royals. They chose to leave in a huff because they wanted the attention because they are brats because they wanted $100 million from Netflix and telling their story. That's actually what happened here. It's not about, 'oh, we tried to resolve it privately but we couldn't so we had no choice but to bring these matters out," she said (via Express).
"[Expletive] – they wanted the money. They were filming that Netflix thing for months, well before Megxit, so the whole thing is based on a lie. And now we all just help him continue with his whine-a-ton," Kelly added.

Prince Harry And Meghan Markle Accused Of Using The Privacy Card For Their Personal Gain?
Other than Prince Harry and Markle's decision to quit The Firm, the couple is also being criticized for saying that they want privacy even if they continuously share intimate details about their lives and struggles.
A rep for the couple explained that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have no problem sharing their story on their own terms. But their real issue is that the media creates false narratives about them.
"The Duke and Duchess have never cited privacy as the reason for stepping back. This distorted narrative was intended to trap the couple in silence. They are choosing to share their story, on their terms, and yet, the tabloid media has created an entirely untrue narrative that permeates press coverage and public opinion," the statement reads (via BuzzFeed News).
