A new book has claimed to lift the lid on behind-the-scenes tension between Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at their first joint engagement.
The four appeared together on stage in 2018 to talk about Heads Together, the mental health organisation set up by William, Kate and Harry. Despite appearing in good spirits throughout the event, a book set to hit the shelves next week reports that all was not well behind closed doors.
Journalist Tina Brown claims that Meghan’s public speaking ability at her first joint event with her brother and sister-in-law left William and Kate feeling irritated, writes the Mirror.
In her book, Brown writes: "Harry looked on with awe and his brother and Kate stood by with expressionless irritation. When it was Kate’s moment to speak, she was strikingly less articulate, as well as brief."
It’s one of the most eye-opening revelations by journalist Tina Brown in The Palace Papers: Inside the House of Windsor, the Truth and the Turmoil, as reported by The M irror . The book features information relating to the Royal Family from more than 120 sources and insiders.
The claim is one of several made about Harry and Meghan in the book that promises to “change how you understand the Royal Family”. A further story details a row that took place ahead of their 2018 wedding involving the Queen’s dresser and closest aide, Angela Kelly.
Brown writes that an argument started because Meghan couldn’t "perceive the difference between the Queen’s personal aide and a contract stylist at NBC Universal".
Brown shares that she was told by a source that there was "lots of raging" in the lead up to their wedding and that Meghan would shout in front of staff. The author added that she was told that Meghan and Harry share a mutual addiction to drama.
