Meghan Markle issued a furious 11-word remark to Prince William during a reconciliation meeting between the two and their partners after the Sussexes’ honeymoon in 2018, a royal author has claimed. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the Prince and Princess of Wales were once close and dubbed the “Fab Four” soon after Meghan married into the Royal Family, however, things quickly took a turn for the worse.
In his forthcoming book, Betrayal: Power, Deceit and the Fight for the Future of the Royal Family, extracts of which have been serialised by The Times Magazine, Tom Bower delves into the reconciliation meeting between the two couples during which Meghan allegedly “snapped” at William, telling him: “If you don’t mind, get your finger out of my face.”
Mr Bower writes: “The teatime reconciliation meeting between the brothers and their wives had spun out of control. Sitting in the Cambridges’ recently redecorated 20-room Kensington Palace apartment, soon after the Sussexes returned from their honeymoon in June 2018, Harry watched the confrontation escalate.
“William’s dislike of Meghan had been obvious after his warning to Harry before their engagement. ‘It’s gone too quickly,’ William had said about the speed of Harry’s relationship with ‘the American actress’. William’s suspicion of Meghan was echoed by his wife.”
A spokesperson for Harry and Meghan said: “Mr Bower’s commentary has long crossed the line from criticism into fixation. This is someone who has publicly stated, ‘the monarchy in fact depends on actually obliterating the Sussexes from our state of life,’ language that speaks for itself. He has made a career out of constructing ever more elaborate theories about people he does not know and has never met. Those interested in facts will look elsewhere; those seeking deranged conspiracy and melodrama know exactly where to find him.”
