Queen Camilla reportedly once told a close friend that Meghan Markle had “brainwashed” Prince Harry during the early period of tensions within the British royal family. The claim appears in a book written by author Tom Bower, which discusses events following Harry and Meghan’s wedding in 2018.

According to the book, disagreements within the royal family reportedly grew shortly after the couple returned from their honeymoon. It claims that a tense argument later occurred between Harry and his brother, Prince William, during a family disagreement. The situation allegedly became heated as members of the family expressed concerns about the relationship.

The author further claimed that William had earlier warned Harry that the relationship might be moving too quickly. Reports in the book also suggested that Catherine, Princess of Wales shared similar concerns about the pace of the romance and its possible impact on family dynamics.

The tension eventually led Harry and Meghan to step back from royal duties in 2020. The couple later moved to the United States and publicly discussed their experiences in interviews and Harry’s memoir. Despite the strained relationship, reports suggest there may still be chances for reconciliation with King Charles III and other members of the royal family.
