In the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s much anticipated second part of their docuseries on Netflix, Prince Harry says Buckingham Palace signed off on him and Meghan “moving to South Africa”.
“It was very much an internal document and it was leaked to The Times newspaper then that whole plan was then scrapped,” he said.
The headline in The Times on 20 October 2019 states: “Harry and Meghan ‘need a break’ – and would love to move to Africa.”
The article goes on: “The royal and his wife find public life almost unbearable and yearn to set up home somewhere like Cape Town.”
Earlier that year, the couple had carried out a 10-day tour in southern Africa, including a visit to Cape Town, with four-month-old son Archie.
Africa featured a few times in their docuseries, with Prince Harry talking about his love for the continent as a home away from home.
