Meghan Markle Responds to Prince Andrew’s Alleged Royal Remarks

New Biography Claims Duke of York Criticized Harry’s Marriage to American Actress

Meghan Markle has seemingly addressed controversial claims made by royal expert Andrew Lownie in his upcoming book. The biography suggests Prince Andrew voiced strong opinions about his nephew Prince Harry’s relationship with Meghan prior to their marriage.

Prince Andrew’s Alleged Criticism

Lownie’s book, reportedly titled *Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York*, alleges that Prince Andrew told Prince Harry he was “bonkers” for not thoroughly researching Meghan Markle’s background before introducing her to the royal family. According to *OK! magazine*, the Duke of York also purportedly commented that Meghan was “too old” for Harry and that marrying her would be his “biggest mistake ever.”

Meghan Markle’s Subtle Response

Amidst the surfacing of these claims, Meghan Markle shared a teaser video on her Instagram handle, ‘As Ever’. The clip features her carrying a basket of her Napa Valley Rosé wine. She captioned the post, “Goodness in a glass. Right around the corner…Cheers to August!” She later reposted the video on her personal account with the caption, “coming soon.”

Prince Harry’s Legal Action

Meanwhile, representatives for Prince Harry have informed *Newsweek* that legal counsel has been engaged. They stated, “such are the gross inaccuracies, damaging and defamatory remarks” made in the reporting of the book’s claims, confirming that a legal letter has been issued by Prince Harry’s lawyers.

The legal challenges come as public interest in royal family dynamics remains high. According to a 2023 survey by Statista, 51% of adults in the UK expressed interest in royal family news, highlighting the significant public engagement with the monarchy’s affairs (Statista, 2023).
