“It will end in tears“! These were the words of the late lady-in-waiting to Elizabeth II, Lady Susan Hussey, regarding the relationship between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. At least that’s what the journalist’s explosive book tells us. investigation Tom Bower, Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War between the Windsors, released in July 2022, and for which he went to meet 80 people who personally know the Sussex couple. There are countless startling claims, from how Meghan failed to get along with Harry’s friends, to the changes the palace forced on the show’s writers.
