Meghan Markle, Prince Harry staff 'alarmed' by 'disastrous' book

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry staff were shocked after reading the first draft of Duke's memoir 'Spare.'

Royal expert Richard Palmer reveals the manuscript of the book spelled 'disaster' for the couple.

He began: "And I don't think anybody can be really sure what is going to be in it or not. There might be a few hints.

"Certainly some time ago, I was led to believe that there was some real concern in Harry and Meghan's camp, people working for them who had apparently seen the manuscript and were alarmed by it and thought that it would be disastrous for the couple."

Mr Palmer said he never ran the story at the time "because I couldn't really confirm it independently".

He said: "That sort of feeling has sort of been reflected elsewhere.

"In short, I suppose the Royal Family are worried that the book will cast a shadow over the new reign, will reignite all of the controversies about allegations of racism, the allegations of bullying against Meghan."
