Elton John &#039;shocked&#039; by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle announcement of going separate ways despite close bond.

“Constant Support” of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Was “Shocked” at the Couple’s Decision to Exit Royalty

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex sent shockwaves around the world with their
decision to denounce the royal family. Having no longer been able to keep up
with the growing tension within the royal household, Prince Harry played the
hard ball to call it quits with what he calls The Institution. As the entire
world watched the age-old royal family split into two, close associates were
flabbergasted. One of the closest friends of the Palace, prominent singer Sir
Elton John, was also one of them, even though he had seen it coming.

Known for their special ties with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, the music
Titan has always been well-updated about whatever is going on behind closed
doors. Word was it that at a point, he was considered to be “Prince Harry’s rock
and constant support” in times of turmoil and chaos. Although he was well aware
that Sussex’s days at the Palace were limited, he had no idea that Prince Harry
would make the call abruptly. 

As reported exclusively by Daily Mail,
[https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7878233/Prince-Harry-Meghan-Markle-told-Elton-John-Queen.html]
a spokesperson for the Candle in the Wind singer affirmed that the Megxit “came
as a surprise to him.” The aide also added that the first time the singer got to
know about the present family split was through their social media announcement
on Instagram.

However, it was not all sweet and smooth as the Instagram notice showed it to
be.

WHY WAS ELTON JOHN SHOCKED AT PRINCE HARRY AND MEGHAN MARKLE?

Prince Harry giving up on his UK Sovereigns came into immediate effect after a
high-stakes crisis summit at the Queen’s Sandringham. While the Duke joined
Prince Charles, Prince William, and Kate Middleton for the heated back and
forth, the Duchess joined in through the phone from Canada. Prince Harry has
also claimed that the same discussion also led to a physical altercation between
him and Prince William as he knocked him down on the ground into a dog bowl.

It was after this summit that Prince Harry knew he could no longer live with his
family members. As a matter of course, Sir Elton John had a brief idea of things
going south. However, he was not unaware of the immediate cause that led to the
cut-off.

The singer grew close to the Sussexes, owing to his “dear” friendship with their
late mother, Princess Diana. Both the icons were said to be close acquaintances
with everyone in the family involved. Years later, the singer has now stood for
Princess Diana’s youngest in the already famous ANL court case.
