The Duke<\/a> and Duchess of Sussex<\/a> are “walking disasters” who “have not succeeded in the US”, a leading royal expert has claimed. It comes as a new book by royal author Tom Bower is set to be released on March 26<\/a>, titled Betrayal: Power, Deceit and the Fight for the Future of the Royal Family.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The book’s description reads: “Fighting to preserve their royal titles and privileges, in their attempts to create a Sussex brand, the couple have fuelled bitter hostility.” Leading royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams also suggested that the Sussexes are fighting a losing battle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n He told the Daily Express: “Whether his [Tom Bower’s] quotes are exact and his descriptions accurate is arguable, but that he has targeted a couple who appear to be walking disasters is pretty clear. They have not succeeded in the US, they have lost Spotify, Netflix<\/a> is no longer backing As Ever. He has lost Sentebale, their Charity seems tiny and in 2024, was losing money.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Mr Fitzwilliams claims Harry and Meghan “behaved destructively towards the Royal Family” after they famously quit as senior working royals in 2020.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n He adds Mr Bower has “obvious targets” and “his criticisms about the Invictus Games have unsurprisingly led to ferocious denunciations from the Sussexes, who have called him ‘deranged’ and ‘fixated’.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n It also says that Prince Harry<\/a> feared his older brother and future king, William, “could remove all the Sussexes’ titles and effectively banish him from Britain”. Tom Bower, 79, is a former BBC<\/a> Panorama journalist who is known for his explosive biographies.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n They added: “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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n “He has made a career out of constructing ever more elaborate theories about people he does not know and has never met.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n “Those interested in facts will look elsewhere; those seeking deranged conspiracy and melodrama know exactly where to find him.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.express.co.uk \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are “walking disasters” who “have not succeeded in the US”, a leading royal expert has claimed.
