Hugo Vickers Predicted Meghan & Harry's Royal Exit

0:00It's April 20th. Welcome in. This is Entertainment and celebrity news, where pop culture meets AI. I'm Cory with the story. Royal author Hugo Vickers dropped a revelation on the Royalist podcast, saying he always figured Meghan Markle wouldn't stay in the UK for good. He straight up predicted makes it was coming. No surprise there for him. Queen Elizabeth II handed Harry and Meghan chances to work across the Commonwealth, basically testing out their Royal fit. But Vickers felt like Meghan had her own quiet scheme to bounce from the monarchy altogether. What caught him off guard was the timing happening right in the Queen's lifetime. He never saw that move during her reign. They got married in 2018, then in 2020 announced plans to step back while chasing financial freedom abroad. The Queen shut down any part-time Royal deal, so they fully exited as senior working royals. Now they're settled in Montecito, California with their two kids, building life far from the palace spotlight.
