When Prince Harry<\/a> and Meghan Markle<\/a> were still senior working members of the Royal Family<\/a> they traveled to Australia<\/a> for the Invictus Games, and in order to make sure things went off without a hitch, Meghan brought members of her team.<\/p>\n

According to royal biographer Tom Bower<\/a>, the Palace staff were not so keen on the Duchess bringing backup, which created some tension, so much so, dishes started flying, well, in this case, a teacup.<\/p>\n

Bower describes what actually went down in his 2022 joint biography of the Sussexes, entitled Revenge: Meghan, Harry, and the War Between the Windsors.<\/p>\n

According to Bower, with her squad by her side, made-up of six people, Meghan was abrasive to the Palace staff who were there to help her during the visit.<\/p>\n

According to Bower, Meghan \u201callegedly threw a cup of tea into the air.\u201d A cup being thrown up into the air isn\u2019t as bad as cup being thrown against a wall, shattering into pieces, but even so, tossing tea cups does come across as a little unladylike, definitely unroyallike.<\/p>\n

In his book, Bower says Harry and Meghan would scroll the comments section, and would become \u201cinflamed by the slightest criticism,\u201d which may have spilled over to the Palace staff.<\/p>\n

He wrote: \u201cThen, both bombarded their staff with demands for retribution and removal of the criticism.\u201d<\/p>\n

The coverage allegedly angered Meghan, in which she blamed the senior royal aide Jason Knauf for not getting in front of the stores \u201cHollywood-style.\u201d<\/p>\n

It appears Meghan\u2019s anger rubbed off on Harry with him snapping at the British media: \u201cThank you for coming, although you weren\u2019t actually invited.\u201d<\/p>\n

Since then, Harry and Meghan resigned from their positions as senior working royals and now live in Montecito, California<\/a>, with their two children.<\/p>\n

Harry is planing a trip to the UK in September, where he hopes to meet with his father, King Charles, following a meeting between Harry\u2019s reps and Charles\u2019s rep in London, earlier this summer.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s believed that the meeting may possibly happen, but Meghan has been advised to watch her words as any small misstep could throw the plans off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"When Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were still senior working members of the Royal Family they traveled to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":334220,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[186,7709,7721,7719,7718,7720,1281,447,7710,519,7711],"class_list":{"0":"post-334219","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-australia","9":"tag-british-royal-family","10":"tag-duchess-of-sussex","11":"tag-duke-of-sussex","12":"tag-harry","13":"tag-meghan","14":"tag-meghan-markle","15":"tag-prince-harry","16":"tag-royal-families","17":"tag-royal-family","18":"tag-uk-royal-family"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115006828927267742","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334219","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=334219"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/334219\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/334220"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=334219"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=334219"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=334219"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
