Prince William has serious reservations about Meghan Markle, whom he allegedly blames for “stealing” his beloved brother, Prince Harry, according to a new book by royal author Robert Lacey. As the rift between William and Harry continues with no sign of reconciliation, Lacey’s book The Battle of the Brothers delves into the Prince of Wales’s early doubts about Meghan.
The book reveals that William expressed concern about Meghan’s “agenda” and felt “hurt” and “betrayed” by the growing tension between her and Kate Middleton. reportedly He confided that he believed Meghan was “stealing” from Harry, a sentiment that contributed to deepening the divide between the brothers.
Lacey’s book quotes a Kensington Palace source as saying: “Meghan presented herself as the victim, but she was the bully. People felt run over by her.” The source added: “They thought she was a total narcissist and sociopath, unhinged.” The book further explores the impact of this strain on William, who has been dealing with multiple personal challenges. Royal correspondent Jennie Bond, speaking to OK! Magazine highlighted William’s sense of isolation.
She pointed out“There have been times over this past year when William has felt incredibly alone, taking on the responsibility of being a son whose father has cancer, a husband caring for his wife as she also deals with cancer, a father of three young children… and not having a brother or mother to turn to for some love.”
As William continues to shoulder the heavy responsibilities of his royal duties, the strain of his fractured relationship with Harry, compounded by his misgivings about Meghan, adds another layer of complexity to the challenges he faces within the Royal Family.
