The late Queen Elizabeth II reportedly believed that Prince Harry’s devotion to Meghan Markle “clouded his judgment”, an explosive new book reveals.
The former monarch had allegedly grown tired of the often-tense relationship between Prince Charles’ sons prior to Prince Harry meeting his future wife.
However, when theDuke and Duchess of Sussex started to publicly slam the royals and slander certain members of the monarchy, the Queen was mystified by their actions and thought it was “quite mad”.
The Queen thought her grandson’s judgment was being influenced by Meghan Markle as a result of the Prince being “so consumed” by his love for her.
The Queen allegedly didn’t look forward to her long conversations with Harry, as she found them tricky and her grandson’s behaviour odd.

An insider revealed: “Her Majesty found Prince Harry’s calls quite difficult and wearisome. She didn’t want to interfere in the father/son relationship and would urge him to speak to his father.”
However, Prince Charles stopped picking up Harry’s calls after he swore at him and frequently asked for money.

However, she was as supportive as possible when it came to the Montecito royals, even dismissing their sit-down talks and Netflix series as “this television nonsense”.
Prince Philip on the other hand was less accepting of the pair’s actions, making a comment before his death in April 2021 that alluded to the couple’s publicity antics.
“It’s a big mistake to think about yourself… If you think it’s all about you, you’ll never be happy.”
