The late Queen's top aide warned Prince Harry and Meghan's relationship 'would end in tears', according to new claims made by an investigative journalist.
Tom Bower's explosive book 'Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War between the Windsors' hit the shelves earlier this year after he spoke to 80 people who know the couple personally in a bid to unpick the truth behind the Sussexes.
With that, claims that Meghan struggled to get on with Harry's friends came to light. Bower also found out about the changes the palace forced the writers of Suits to make once the couple's relationship became public knowledge.

Another 'earth shattering' claim came from the late Queen's Lady-in-Waiting, Lady Susan Hussey. According to the book, she offered her view on Harry and Meghan's relationship ahead of their wedding in 2018.
Lady Susan is said to have made the comment a few months before the couple married at a lunch with a group of theatre executives, reports the Mirror.
Bower wrote: "While discussing the possibility that Meghan might become linked with the National Theatre after the wedding, Hussey became unexpectedly serious about the couple’s future. 'That will all end in tears,' she is alleged to have warned. 'Mark my words.'"
As a lady-in-Waiting, Lady Susan was a treasured member of the late Queen's inner circle and was widely considered to be one of her dearest friends as well as being made one of Prince William's godmothers.
Although she joined the household to help answer letters in 1960, she quickly made her way through the ranks and became the Queen's closest friends. She also is the youngest daughter of the 12th Earl and Countess of Waldegrave and was married to BBC Chairman of the Board of Governors, Marmaduke Hussey, from 1959 to 2006.
Already Dame Commander of the Royal Victorian Order, she was promoted to Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order in 2013 and has also been honoured with the Queen Elizabeth II Royal Household Long and Faithful Service Medal, holding the 30, 40, 50 and 60-year bars.
One moment that showed just how close Lady Susan was to the late Queen came when the Duke of Edinburgh passed away. The Queen personally asked Lady Susan to sit next to her in her car as she arrived at Prince Philip's funeral in April.
Following the monarch's death, it is expected that many of the Ladies-in-Waiting will soon retire as they are already in their 80s. While the late Queen had a number of close friends in the prestigious role, it has been predicted that the new Queen will not follow in her mother-in-law's footsteps.
Royal historian Marlene Koenig explained to the Express : "There are some positions that may no longer be filled. You wonder if the women, especially Queen Camilla, will use ladies-in-waiting as the Queen did. She's never had, even as the Duchess of Cornwall, an official lady-in-waiting."
In terms of an aide to help with her official duties, Camilla had her former secretary, Angela MacManus, to help - but she was never referred to as a Lady-in-Waiting.
