The event that forced Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to leave the royal family has been revealed in the newest episodes of the couple’s Netflix series.

In episode five, the couple talk about escaping the UK to stay on secluded Vancouver Island in Canada in December 2019.

“I just loved being there. it was so peaceful, you could breathe for a minute,” Meghan said, while Harry added: “It was absolutely amazing, because the main thing that we needed was some space, some space to just work out what we’re doing.”

But just days into their stay, a paparazzo turned up on the island, something that triggered a big response from the couple.

“There wasn’t a single paparazzo on Vancouver Island.,” Harry said. “It’s an island. That’s why we chose it. No one in their right mind would have to deal with this.

“The toll was visible. The emotional toll it was having on both of us, especially my wife.

“We thought, we need to change this. Let’s really think this through How are we going to do this? What do we need to change our relationship with the institution but in a way that protects us and our mental health?”

Those conversations led to the couple ultimately deciding to leave the royal just weeks later, something they both insist was a last resort.

Earlier, Queen Elizabeth’s absolutely brutal snub of her grandson Prince Harry and Meghan Markle after Megxit has been revealed.

The couple detailed the incident in the fifth episode of their Netflix series Harry & Meghan which dropped worldwide on Thursday night.

It happened shortly after the couple announced they were leaving the royal family, and was the first moment they truly appreciate the magnitude of what they had done.

“Before we left, I spoke to my grandmother and told her that I would love to come out and see you,” Harry said. “She knew that we were finding things hard, we had spoken many times about it.

“She told me that she had no plans for the week. And she said ‘well, why don’t you come out and have tea when you stay the night?’”

But as Harry and Meghan were boarding their plane from Vancouver to Heathrow, they got an “urgent urgent” message.

“This message comes through to H saying you were not allowed to go see Her Majesty,” Meghan recalled.

“You can not go and see her, she’s busy. She has plans all week.”

Harry was shocked.

“That was sent me opposite to what she told me,” he said. “Back in the UK I rang her and said she ‘Yes I didn’t know that I had plans, but I do. I’m busy all week.”

The couple couldn’t believe what they were hearing.

“I was like wow,” Meghan said. “And I remember looking at each other and thinking ‘Oh my gosh, this is when a family and a family business, are in direct competition.

“Because they’re blocking you from seeing the Queen. But really what they’re doing this blocking a grandson from seeing his grandmother.”
