The Sussexes have been accused of leaking information from private meetings with royal relatives in the past, which they have denied.
In his biography of Elizabeth II, which chronicles her 75-year reign, Mr Vickers reveals what the late Queen thought about Harry and Meghan. He claims she told a confidante after the Duke decided to leave the Royal family: “And now Harry has opted out, and for what? To be a carer for Archie.”
He says some royals were “sickened” by the timing of the broadcast of the Oprah interview, six days after Prince Philip had a heart operation at St Bartholomew’s Hospital, London.
The Duke of Edinburgh apparently referred to Meghan as “the American” while staff at the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk nicknamed her “Sparkle”, rhyming with Markle, her maiden name.
