When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle decided to step down from their royal positions, his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II expressed her opinion.

The Duke of Sussex discussed how the Queen, who passed away in September, responded when they declared in January 2020 that they would no longer be working members of the royal family in an interview with Good Morning America’s Michael Strahan ahead of the publication of his book Spare.

“Did she ever express that she was upset at you?” Strahan asked.

Harry replied, “For what?”

“For wanting to change your role in the family,” the former NFL star clarified.

“No,” Prince Harry said. “My grandmother and I had a very good relationship. It was never a surprise to anybody, least of all her. She knew what was going on, she knew how hard it was. She never said to me that she was angry. I think she was sad that it had got to that point.”

The couple offered a hybrid role in which they would continue to serve the Queen while dividing their time between the U.K. and Canada. However, that suggestion was turned down, as he explained in the Netflix series Harry & Meghan.

Strahan asked Prince Harry, “There are going to be people saying, ‘Why aren’t they either be in or get out?’ Because if you get out, there’s no hypocrisy.”

“I can’t ever get out,” the Duke of Sussex responded. “And I’m incredibly aware of my position and I’m incredibly grateful for the life that I’ve had and continue to live, but there’s no version of me ever being able to get out of this.”
