Morton, who wrote the bestselling book Diana: Her True Story in 1992, made the claim on the podcast Royally Obsessed and explained that Meghan and the Duke of Sussex were given “the opportunity to go wherever they pleased” after they expressed a desire to step back from their royal roles last year. “They were told ‘here are your first class tickets, pick which country you want to go to, we’re going to make you youth ambassadors for the Commonwealth’.” Morton continued: “In fairness to the royal family, in fairness to the Queen, she did give them that opportunity to go wherever they pleased. “And also, they did say to Meghan if you don’t want to embrace royal duties full time please be our guest and continue your acting career. “I think that famous warning from Prince William of ‘steady on, think about what you’re doing’, that Harry bridled at, was probably meant more with affection,” Morton said.
