Meghan and Harry’s new book describes real jealousy, Megxit’s tensions


It was Meghan and Harry against the “vipers” in the palace.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were so popular internationally that they were dwarfing the rest of the royal family, so a clique of snake-like royal courtiers, the so-called “men in gray robes,” worked to thwart them, according to excerpts from Una new biography that is very sympathetic to the famous couple.

“Finding Freedom: Harry, Meghan and the Making of a Modern Royal Family,” which is being serialized by the London Times starting this weekend, said the palace’s “establishment” lived in fear of the global appeal of the couple.

So courtiers worked to lessen their public role, the book said, adding that a friend of the couple referred to the old palace guard as “the vipers.”

Resentment against Meghan and Harry leaked to the highest levels, and Kate Middleton refused to even look at her sister-in-law when the women were together for their final public engagement in March, after not seeing each other. since January, according to the book.

To fuel pre-Megxit tensions, Meghan and Harry were continually told they had to take a back seat to projects put forward by their father or brother William, their friends told biographers, former royal observers Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand.

“There were only a handful of people in the palace that they could trust” among “the vipers,” the writers said of the young couple.

Even the Queen’s employees kept them chilling their heels.

When the couple flew to Britain for the last time, they were told it was unavailable for a month. Harry and Markle considered going directly to see her from the plane’s terminal, which would have been a significant violation of protocol, to argue their case on a “surprise visit.”

Instead, they decided not to, as it would “stir the feathers,” the book said.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have formally insisted that they did not contribute to the spider rattle biography.

Still, it was written by two journalists widely seen as supporters of the couple, and known in real circles as their “cheerleaders.”

Sources told the Daily Mail that after realizing the book would be unstoppable and profound “hagiography,” Prince Harry and Markle decided to secretly use it to “settle accounts” with the Royal Family.

“It is going to be the gospel according to Meghan and Harry, so to speak,” when it comes to their engagement, marriage and Megxit, a source predicted to The Mail.

The book, which promises a behind-the-head look at the couple, will be out on August 11.
