When Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan Markle, first stayed at the royal palace after their wedding, it was the late Queen Elizabeth II who was their point of contact. But when the Sussexes decided to step down from their royal duties, the Queen ordered Harry’s call to be directed to his father, now-King Charles, who, as per a royal author, eventually grew exhausted after the duke “demanded funds.”
King Charles claimed he wasn’t a ‘bank’ when Prince Harry ‘demanded funds,’ per royal author
A new book, “The Windsor Legacy” by Robert Jobson, has shared some inside details of the royal family, especially about Prince Harry’s relationship with the late Queen Elizabeth II and his father, now King Charles.
According to the book, when Harry decided to wed former actress, Meghan Markle, the queen welcomed Markle into the family with open arms, appreciating her “dual heritage, beauty, and communication skills”. However, tension soon escalated between them, especially after Prince Harry and his wife decided to step down from their royal duties in 2020 to move to the US.
Post their decision, the late queen no longer remained their person of contact as she ordered the duke’s calls be redirected to his father as she was “tired of the drama.” But eventually, even the duke’s father became increasingly frustrated with his younger son after he “demanded funds.” “I’m not a bank,” the now-king allegedly expressed to his friends, according to the book, as quoted by Page Six.
Moreover, the book even claims that the Queen was surprised by Harry’s behavior during negotiations for his and Markle’s exit from the royal palace. “She made it clear to those close to her that privately she felt let down by the Sussexes’ departure,” and she saw it “as short-sighted and a missed opportunity.”
However, a source close to the Duke of Sussex dismissed Jobson’s claims, telling the outlet that he is “not a big fan of fiction.”
