Long before Prince Andrew was stripped of his HRH titles and military honors, he and Prince Harry got into a heated argument over Andrew’s disdain for Meghan Markle.
In Andrew Lownie’s upcoming investigative biography of Andrew, Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York, the author claimed Andrew told his nephew he was “bonkers” for not properly researching Meghan’s background before bringing her into the royal family. He also said Meghan was “too old” for Harry and that marrying her would be his “biggest mistake ever.” The author added how Andrew “openly accused Meghan of being an opportunist.”

Prince William went ‘ballistic’ after hearing that Meghan Markle was bullying royal staffers.
Lacy wrote about how William went “ballistic” after he was presented with intel about the Duchess of Sussex’s controversial actions behind closed doors.
“The moment the Prince heard the bullying allegations, he got straight on the phone to talk to Harry — and when Harry flared up in furious defense of his wife, the elder brother persisted,” the author claimed. “Harry shut off his phone angrily, so William went straight round to find his brother on the Kensington campus.”
Insiders told Lacy how Meghan made royal staffers so nervous that they would end up physically ill. He also described how one former employee ended up with PTSD.
