In a surprising twist of events, it has been revealed that Boris Johnson, the former prime minister of the UK, attempted to persuade Prince Harry not to leave his royal life in the UK. According to Johnson’s soon-to-be-published memoir, he delivered a “manly pep talk” to the Duke of Sussex at a UK-Africa investment summit in London in January 2020.
Despite Johnson’s efforts, the encounter did not prove to be successful, with Prince Harry already set on leaving the country. The meeting took place the night after Harry’s speech about his decision to step down from his royal role, indicating the high level of interest in the prince’s rift with the Royal Family at the time.
Johnson’s account sheds light on what was previously reported as a private meeting between the two men, without aides present. The former prime minister’s memoir suggests that he was acting on behalf of Buckingham Palace and 10 Downing Street in his attempt to convince Prince Harry to reconsider his decision.
The unexpected overlap between the political and royal worlds adds another dimension to Prince Harry and Meghan’s departure from the UK. Despite Johnson’s efforts, Prince Harry ultimately moved to California with his family, where they now reside.
The memoir, titled “Unleashed,” is set to be published on October 10th and promises to reveal more details about the encounter between the Spare and the Hair Apparent. The failed attempt to persuade Prince Harry highlights the challenges faced by those trying to navigate the complex world of royalty and politics.
