Queen Camilla believed Meghan had “brainwashed” Harry. The Duke of Sussex has snubbed old friends and changed his phone number, claims new royal book –

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are the subject of a new book by royal author Tom Power, according to the first part of his series published by The Times. An extended excerpt from Betrayal: Power, Deception and the Fight for the Royal Family’s Future details the allegations about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s relationship with the Royal Family and how they have lived life since leaving the firm and moving to California.Queen Camilla told a friend that Meghan “brainwashed” Harry when his behavior changed after the couple began to feel grievances toward the royal family, Power wrote in the excerpt. “Meghan has become a divisive factor. To please her, Harry has been ignoring his old friends. He even changed his phone number without telling his family,” Power wrote.

“The city’s cheerful boy became obsessed with seeking revenge.

“Increasingly, his personality mirrored Meghan’s. Emotionally, he veered towards extremes. Simple hatred turned into passionate hatred. ‘Meghan brainwashed Harry,’ Camilla told a friend.Power also referred to a meeting after the couple returned from their honeymoon in 2018, when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex met with Prince William and Princess Kate at Kensington Palace for what he described as peace talks that escalated, the UK Mirror reported.

“William’s dislike of Meghan was clear after he warned Harry before their engagement,” Power wrote. “It was over very quickly,” William said of the speed of Harry’s relationship with the “American actress.” His wife echoed William’s doubts about Meghan.”According to the biography, Meghan lashed out at her brother-in-law during the conversation and said: “If you don’t mind, keep your finger out of my face.”The excerpt states that the book details how Harry was stunned by William’s reaction to the arrest of their uncle Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, which he said fueled Harry’s fears about his and Meghan’s royal future. She said William stood by his father, King Charles, and his decisions regarding Andrew, including his expulsion from the Royal Lodge and stripping him of his titles. She also said that the Prince of Wales issued a statement after Andrew’s arrest, saying that he and Princess Kate supported the actions of the king, who declared that “the law must take its course.”Bower claimed that Harry became increasingly concerned that William might take drastic action when he ascended to the throne. “Rightly, Harry fears that future King William could remove all of Sussex’s titles and effectively expel him from Britain,” the author wrote.“It remains to be seen whether Meghan understands the potential consequences of any deliberate aggravation of the Prince and Princess of Wales.”The excerpt also refers to Harry and Meghan’s appearance in Los Angeles in January last year, when the city was being ravaged by deadly bushfires.

She said the couple met the victims and helped them in the afternoon by listening to people’s stories and distributing necessities at a soup kitchen. Bauer wrote that the couple were ridiculed during the trip as some claimed they were taking advantage of the disaster for their own gain. “After a video was recorded of her listening and hugging the victims, the scene was posted that day by publicists to Meghan’s 1.6 million Instagram followers,” Power wrote.“Instead of receiving praise for her efforts, Meghan has been ridiculed as an attention-seeking phony royal.” Bauer then quoted Hollywood filmmaker Justine Bateman, who said online at the time: “Meghan Markle and Harry are no better than ambulance chasers.“What a disgusting ‘photo op’ they have made. They are ‘touring the damage’? Are they politicians now? They don’t live here; they are tourists. Disaster tourists.”Much of the excerpt focused on the Invictus Games and included allegations that the Duchess of Sussex exploited the event for personal gain, and that Harry and Meghan were difficult with the event organisers.

“Meghan needed a global stage for the real admiration and cheering of fans,” Power wrote. “Luckily for her, Harry agreed that she could participate in the Invictus Games, which were about to open in Canada.” Before flying to Vancouver on a private plane, she alerted her followers on Instagram.Canadian regulators asked: “How should we deal with them?” Nick Booth, chief executive of the Games, responded: “Meghan insists on using the word ‘ma’am’ and Harry should be called ‘sir’.The excerpt also highlighted alleged internal concerns, including those expressed by Dominic Reed, former head of the Invictus Foundation, that sport and competitors had been marginalized and that the Games had been turned into a “Harry and Meghan show”. He pointed to the event’s poor attendance and alleged crowds for the cameras, and suggested that competitors and their families had been overwhelmed by the meticulously staged photo ops.With the 2027 Invictus Games taking place in Birmingham, the book claimed Harry planned to have his father, King Charles, open the Games, which he said would dominate media sessions and be a public declaration of reconciliation. However, Power wrote that the Games likely were not immune to protests, making Charles’ potential appearance a big gamble. The author wrote: “Given all the damning words and lies the Sussexes have said and written against the Royal Family since 2021, and the enormous damage caused by the Sussexes exploiting their royal titles, the chance of the King angering the Prince and Princess of Wales to please the Sussexes, in the spring of 2026, is remote.“The King meeting publicly with his son and his problematic daughter-in-law, both guilty of betraying the royal family, is a gamble with little upside. The rift involving them is far from resolved, and it remains to be seen what damage the 2027 Invictus Games will do to an already fragile family.”Within hours of the first part of the series being released, a spokesperson for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex issued a statement condemning the allegations.

The actor said: “Mr Power’s comment has long since crossed the line from criticism to affirmation. This is someone who has publicly stated that ‘the monarchy actually depends on the Sussexes being effectively erased from the state of our lives’, which is language that speaks for itself.”“He’s made a career out of constructing the most elaborate theories about people he doesn’t know and has never met. Those interested in the facts will look elsewhere; those looking for muddled conspiracy and melodrama know exactly where to find him.”
