Investigative journalist Tom Bower has claimed in his upcoming biography of Meghan Markle entitled ‘Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors’ that the Duke of Sussex remained ‘utterly loyal’ to the now Duchess even after speaking with journalist Sam Kashner. about their relationship in an interview that would become the cover story for Vanity Fair in September 2017.
HarryMr Bower claimed in an excerpt from his book published by The Times, had “ordered” Meghan to “keep your lips tight on sensitive subjects” – including himself.
Nevertheless, she told the journalist that they were a couple and that they were “in love”, which prompted the magazine to publish on the front cover that she was “Wild about Harry”.
At the time, the now Duchess was secretly engaged to the Duke.
Bower claimed that Meghan had wanted the interview to focus on her philanthropy and activism rather than her relationship.
Despite the duchess’ complaints, the publication of the interview went ahead, he wrote.
Bower also wrote in his book, “Turning the story back was impossible. Unlike the other young women who married the Windsors, it seemed like Meghan wouldn’t shut up.
“In London, Harry’s family and their advisers were subdued. This was not a problem, as some would later argue, about the treatment or mismanagement of Meghan by the palace. Nothing could be done.
“The dazed prince ignored warnings that Meghan meant trouble for the palace.”
