Prince Harry and Meghan were told 'don't expect to silence me' by the author of a new 'explosive' biography on the couple.
Investigative journalist and author Tom Bower is "pulling no punches" in his new book 'Revenge' which promises to reveal all the Sussexes' secrets, royal experts say.
Bower spent 12 months gathering evidence and exclusive interviews with both friends and enemies of Meghan Markle ahead of his release next Thursday (July 21).
But the couple are said to be "dreading" its publication after the author reportedly warned Meghan he wouldn't be silenced on the most controversial details.
Among them are claims that The Queen told her aides "thank goodness Meghan's not coming" to Prince Philip's funeral.
Speaking to GB News, royal commentator Sarah Robertson said: "I mean, this book, there are so many more bombshells in it. But yeah, it’s going to send total shockwaves through the Royal Family – and also through the Sussex camp who have been dreading it.
"I mean Bower said: 'don’t expect to silence me' to Meghan Markle. He issued that warning. And has he landed a knock-out blow on her, he really has with this.
"This book is explosive. It is the book that I have been waiting for with bated breath. And I can’t wait to put my hand on the actual whole copy."
The biography also reveals how the couple were left "festering with fury" after their requests for a prominent role within the Platinum Jubilee weekend were refused.
But Ms Robertson also noted the controversy around the couple naming their daughter Lillibeth - a special name for the Queen - and Meghan's Vanity Fair interview in which she made 'fictitious' claims about her philanthropic achievements.
She said: "So, some of the extracts that we’ve got coming through have the most explosive claims made by Tom Bower," said Ms Robertson. "We’ve heard how Megan and Harry had blindsided the Queen by choosing the name Lilibeth for their daughter who was born last year.
"There are claims they had asked permission from the Queen but they had not bowed a say in that they’d registered Lilibeth’s name, had their lawyers register her name with the website two days before the child was born.
"And Harry phoned the Queen after her birthday and told her – not ask – told her their daughter was going to be called Lilibeth, blindsiding the Queen
"I mean that was such a private personal name given to the Queen by her grandfather George V who, I think, would be spinning in his grave at the tautness of the spectacle of which Harry and Meghan have reduced the royal family to."
Ms Robertson continued: "Other things that have come are Meghan’s friendships, so-called friendships with celebrities such as Serena Williams. Serena Williams told Vanity Fair when they were doing a bio piece on her before her engagement to Prince Harry that she wasn’t a friend of Meghan, that she was merely an acquaintance.
"Meghan’s claims of philanthropy and global activism, which she wants to pride herself on, when Vanity Fair apparently fact-checked that the interview that they’d done with her, and she had claimed – I don’t know if you can remember – she’s spoken widely about this before.
"That was she got Procter and Gamble in the United States to change the advertising slogan and so it wasn’t sexist towards women. And now Hillary Clinton had written a letter back to her and you know, Procter and Gamble. This was fictitious.
"When Vanity Fair fact-checked this with Procter and Gamble and with advertising historians, it wasn’t true. Hillary Clinton never wrote a letter back. And it turns out it was a story that was concocted by Thomas Markle, an adoring father to his daughter."
