In Betrayal: power, deception and the fight for the future of the royal familywhich was released on March 26, author Tom Bower claims Meghan was seen as “a fission” and a threat by William, 43, and his wife, Princess Kate, 44, while Queen Camilla, 78, reportedly complained to a friend: “Meghan has brainwashed Harry.”

Meanwhile, inside Queen Elizabeth II: A Personal HistoryRoyal historian Hugo Vickers claims Harry was “reluctant” to leave royal life in 2020 and suggests the prince had “bitten off more than he could chew” by marrying Markle, who the author says is controlling.

For Markle, it all reinforces what she has long feared: that any return to Britain would mean “walking back into the lion’s den,” as a source previously said. RadarOnline.com.

While Markle remains wary of reopening old wounds, Harry feels increasingly stuck.

“He knows his brother wants nothing to do with him and that things will only get worse once William takes the throne,” the source said. “Harry fears the future and hates his current reality – that’s the brutal truth.”
