\n

Royal biographer Tom Bower <\/a>has claimed in his new book, released on 26 March, that Meghan Markle<\/a> feels frustrated that she and Prince Harry would never become king and queen and that Queen Camilla told a friend she had ‘brainwashed’ Harry.<\/p>\n

The claims, carried in coverage tied to Betrayal: Power, Deceit and the Fight for the Future of the Royal Family<\/em>, have been rejected by the Sussexes, who accused Bower of drifting from criticism into what their spokesperson called ‘deranged conspiracy and melodrama.’<\/p>\n

According to GLOBAL Magazine<\/a>, the latest row lands after a bruising stretch for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in both royal and media circles. Reports cited in the same coverage revisited the fallout from the couple’s March 2021 CBS interview, the suggestion of tension around their Netflix projects, and the collapse of their Spotify deal in June 2023 after Meghan produced one season of Archetypes<\/em><\/span>.<\/p>\n

Meghan Markle And The Royal Claims<\/h2>\n

Bower’s book says Prince William, 43, and Princess Kate, 44, concluded early that Meghan was ‘a divisive agent’ and ‘a threat’ to the royal family, and he further alleges that she was ‘disappointed’ by the reality that she and Harry would never sit on the throne. Those are serious assertions, but they remain Bower’s account rather than established fact, and the Sussexes have not let them pass unanswered.<\/p>\n

The sharpest line in the book is attributed to Queen Camilla, 78, who Bower says told a friend, ‘Meghan’s brainwashed Harry.’ In the passages reproduced in reports, Bower writes that Harry began ignoring old friends, changed his telephone number without telling his family, and became increasingly consumed by grievance as his relationship with Meghan deepened. It is a portrait designed to wound, which is precisely why attribution matters here.<\/p>\n

The Sussex camp answered with unusual force. Their spokesperson said Bower had ‘long crossed the line from criticism into fixation’ and argued that readers looking for facts would not find them in his work, only elaborate theories about people he does not know. Nothing in the material available independently proves the book’s central allegations, so those claims should be treated with caution rather than certainty.<\/p>\n
