Prince Harry was reportedly “infuriated” when his father King Charles told him he couldn’t pay for Meghan Markle in the future. A new book, Our King, by respected royal chronicler Robert Jobson reveals that after Harry had told Charles and Prince William he was going to marry Meghan, William asked, “Are you sure Harold?”
Then, according to an extract in the Daily Mail, Charles delivered the “bombshell” that he “couldn’t afford to pay for Meghan in the future” alongside Camilla, William and Kate, and their children. An “infuriated” Harry already thought William disapproved of Meghan, thinking their relationship had become a “whirlwind affair,” Jobson writes. Meghan thought Kate was being “stand-offish” with her. Kate then demanded an apology after Meghan said Kate may have “baby brain”—before their now-notorious fight over bridesmaid dresses for Harry and Meghan’s wedding.
