“I’ve never blindsided my grandmother, I have too much respect for her,” Harry told Oprah. Even before Meghan and Harry announced their departure from the Royal Family, they had spoken to the Queen about it on several occasions.
Meghan stresses that she never intended to leave at first, and neither did Harry. “I wouldn’t have been able to, I, myself was trapped. Trapped within the system, like the rest of my family are […]. They don’t get to leave.”

According to Harry, there was an ‘invisible contract’ between the Royal Family and the press: the tabloids were given access to information as long as the rest of the family would be represented positively in the media.
6. The couple no longer receive financial support from the Royal Family
