Prince Harry, Meghan take major U-turn as latest blow shakes up Sussexes<\/p>\n
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle seemingly did not expect to be hit wit a new wave of controversy just weeks before their much-anticipated visit to Australia.<\/p>\n
The excerpts from royal biographer Tom Bower\u2019s forthcoming book clearly seem to have struck a nerve with the Sussexes given the scathing statement that was released from their office in response. <\/p>\n
According to royal expert, Jennie Bond, the damage must have been massive behind closed doors as the Sussexes are left shaken by the impact, so mych so that they broke their streak of keeping tight-lipped on sensitive matters.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s rare these days to get any kind of response from Harry and Meghan, they prefer instead to ignore the noise and the gossip,\u201d Bond wrote in The Mirror.<\/p>\n
She pointed out that the pushback had been both \u201cswift and blistering\u201d as the called they accused the royal author of writing \u201cderanged conspiracy and melodrama\u201d.<\/p>\n
Bond suggested that the extracts from the book, serialised by The Times, targeted Harry\u2019s \u201ctwo great passions: his wife and Invictus Games\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe suggestion that Meghan wanted to use the games as her \u2018global stage\u2019 and that she was viewed as \u2018bling\u2019 and a distraction from the injured veterans will have left Harry incandescent,\u201d Bond said.<\/p>\n
She also pointed out that Harry also would have been furious about Camilla\u2019s comment that Meghan had \u201cbrainwashed\u201d him. The former BBC correspondent said that attacking Meghan is like \u201ctreason\u201d for Harry and it \u201cprovokes a visceral response\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe will defend her to the end of the Earth. And there\u2019s nothing wrong with that,\u201d Bond added.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe trouble is that his reignited fury and this new spotlight on all that has gone wrong over the past few years has the potential to open up fresh wounds,\u201d she explained. <\/p>\n
The fact that there had been talks about inviting King Charles to open the Invictus Games, the damaging claims in the new book may have jeopardised that for Harry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Prince Harry, Meghan take major U-turn as latest blow shakes up Sussexes Prince Harry and Meghan Markle seemingly…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":542107,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[64,63,447,134],"class_list":["post-542106","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/542106","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=542106"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/542106\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/542107"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=542106"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=542106"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=542106"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
