Sharon said: “I am very sad for Harry. For me, I don’t think as a couple they gave it a really good shot. 

“Eighteen months of marriage and trying to find your place within the Windsor family and within the public's eye, 18 months isn't enough.”

While Sharon implied Harry and Meghan should have stuck it out longer in the Royal Family, Ozzy had a more accepting viewpoint. 

The rock star said: “If Harry and his lady are in love what they are doing and they are happy - fine. They don’t have to stay anywhere.

"Harry is not going to be king."

Sharon replied: “He's left his country and it's very sad, I really do. He did a lot of good, he did a lot of good with his charities.”

Ozzy added: "What if he didn't want to be a royal."

This week, Meghan and Prince Harry are to carry out their last round of royal engagements.

The couple are not expected to give any glimpse of their nine-month-old son Archie, and the Queen is said to be “very sad” that Meghan may not bring the youngster to the UK at all during the visit. 

He is thought to be remaining in Canada, with a nanny and Meghan's pal Jessica Mulroney, when Meghan flies over to join her husband - who arrived in the UK last week.

On Thursday, the couple will attend the Endeavour Fund Awards, and it's thought their last joint engagement as royals will be the Commonwealth Service at Westminster Abbey on March 9. 

The couple are currently living with baby Archie in an £11m property in Vancouver Island where they are spending their days hiking, cooking and doing yoga, according to a friend.

The cost and logistics of leaving Archie behind will cause a headache for royal police, we reported.

Meanwhile, Meghan Markle tells her agent to ‘land her a role as a Hollywood superhero in a blockbuster movie’.
