The rift, writes author Robert Lacey, would have been triggered by an email from October 2018 in which it was claimed that Meghan was being bullying with the palace staff. The message was sent by Jason Knauf, Cambridge and Sussex communications chief, to William’s personal secretary, Simon Case, who immediately forwarded it to the prince.

At that point, Charles and Diana’s eldest son decided to call his brother but the phone call took on very bright tones, we read in the book, culminating in Harry hanging the phone in his brother’s face.
The thesis of a capricious and rude diva Meghan it is not new and has already been strongly denied by the Dukes of Sussex. But the book adds some elements, if possible, even more poisonous and destined to make the fans of the two sides discuss.

Unspecified employees of Kensington Palace told the author that Meghan “played the part of the victim, but was bullying and rude to the court staff, in line with Hollywood habits”. A way of doing it, they argue, that he probably passed on to Harry, more than once pinched to “scream” at his assistants.
“The Sussexes created a truly toxic environment”, one of the courtiers told Lacey. A reign of “terror” said another, portraying Meghan as a modern-day Marie Antoinette. All this, we read in the excerpts of the book, only confirmed what William suspected of his brother’s wife and about which Kate, “suspicious from the beginning” of the actress, had warned him. And that is that Meghan was “hostile” to the royal system and that she had planned to leave the monarchy from the beginning of her relationship with Harry to return together in the United States. A “plan” to “take his beloved brother away”.
