To say it’s been a difficult week for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex is an understatement. While the couple have not commented publicly on the unauthorised biography Revenge: Meghan, Harry And The War Between The Windsors, former royal butler Grant Harrold say it will have left Harry and Meghan feeling “angry” and “hurt”.
For the book, which features a series of shocking revelations about the couple, the author spoke to more than 80 sources who claim to shed some light on what’s really been going on behind closed palace doors. Bower admits the only insiders who would speak to him are those who “didn’t like” Meghan, as those closest to her did not wish to comment.
The book’s revelations include the sensational claim that the Queen was relieved that heavily pregnant Meghan, 40, was unable attend Prince Philip’s funeral, allegedly saying, “Thank goodness Meghan isn’t coming.” As new went to press, Buckigham Palace had not commented on these claims.
In the book, Bower claims 37-year-old Harry’s pals called him “nuts” to be with Meghan and that by July 2018, Prince Charles had started to grow frustrated with his new daughter- in-law, saying he had “never really understood her or what she wanted”.
Grant says of the claims, “I have no doubt Harry and Meghan will be angry and slightly hurt.”
But he is unsure if the couple will take legal action over the book. “I’m wondering if they’ll do that thing where they think, let’s just not act immediately, let’s just think on it and sleep on it.
