Queen Elizabeth desperate for ‘hurtful’ Megxit to be ‘over and done with’
Queen Elizabeth II is so hurt by Megxit, she hates it being brought up — and “just wants it over and done with,” according to a report.
“She generally doesn’t want to talk about it,” a source close to the Queen told Vanity Fair, insisting she takes it personally that grandson Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, quit royal duties.
“The Queen has been keen to get this resolved because she sees it is damaging to the monarchy, and on a personal level, I think this has been rather hurtful for her.
“She has got to the point where she doesn’t want to think about it anymore, she just wants it over and done with,” the source told the magazine.
While keeping open the door for their return, the Queen had to be firm in banning the couple from potentially exploiting their connection to the monarchy, banning the use of “Sussex Royal,” the mag was told.
“When something … is required in defense of the dynasty, she does what’s necessary,” former courtier Patrick Jephson told Vanity Fair. “People are reassured when she acts to protect the monarchy.”
Her decisiveness with Megxit — along with dumping Prince Andrew from royal duties over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein — show that the Queen is “fully engaged in her role,” royal biographer Sally Bedell Smith told Vanity Fair.
“For all the travails of last year and the early months of 2020, she continues to maintain her enviable serenity and carries out her duties in her unflappable fashion,” Smith said.
“Of course these family crises have been challenging, vexing, and sad. But in removing Andrew from his public duties and negotiating the tricky departure of Harry and Meghan from royal life, the Queen was decisive and sure-footed.”

BBC host Danny Baker fired after comparing royal baby Archie to a chimp
One of Britain’s best-known broadcasters was fired by the BBC on Thursday for a tweet he wrote comparing the new royal baby to a chimp.
Danny Baker, 61, tweeted out a photo of a chimp in a suit holding hands with a smartly dressed couple, writing, “Royal baby leaves hospital.”
It sparked instant outrage because of the clear racist undertones against Duchess of Sussex Meghan, 37, whose mom, Doria Ragland, is African American.
Baker admitted it had been a “stupid unthinking gag” — but insisted it was an innocent dig at the royals that was being wildly misinterpreted.
“Never occurred to me because, well, mind not diseased,” he wrote. “Soon as those good enough to point out its possible connotations got in touch, down it came. And that’s it.”
He later called the backfired joke “grotesque” and “an enormous mistake,” sending a message to Harry and Meghan’s newborn Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, “Here’s to ya Archie, Sorry mate.”
His apologies were not enough, however, with him soon tweeting, “Just got fired.”
“This was a serious error of judgment,” insisted a BBC spokesman, saying the joke “goes against the values we as a station aim to embody.”
“Danny’s a brilliant broadcaster but will no longer be presenting a weekly show with us.”
Baker remained defiant, damning the call to fire him as a “masterclass of pompous faux-gravity”
“Took a tone that said I actually meant that ridiculous tweet and the BBC must uphold blah blah blah,” he added. “Literally threw me under the bus. Could hear the suits knees knocking.” He ended the message, “#F–kem.”
Royal baby Archie was born Monday, with proud parents Meghan and Prince Harry publicly debuting him Wednesday.
