Prince Harry had enjoyed a close relationship with his late grandmother – but she refused to condone this one ‘cruel’ act, which put her in an impossible position, according to royal biographer Ingrid Seward
Prince Harry’s “cruel act” greatly upset the late Queen and left her in an “impossible position”, according to a leading royal biographer.
The grandma and grandson had always had a close bond, but the late monarch felt her hand had been forced as she couldn’t condone his behavior. Renowned royal author Ingrid Seward detailed the prince’s fall from Her Majesty’s grace and his public fall-out with his family in her book, My Mother and I.
“He had discovered a way of making himself the centre of attention and that was by dissing his family, about whom he felt increasingly bitter,” Ingrid wrote. She said that the issues with his brother were almost expected, but “the anger aimed at the British monarchy, his father and step-mother, was totally unnecessary”.
“His anger eventually destroyed his credibility in other areas of his life, and his grandmother, the late Queen, found herself in an impossible position. However much she loved Harry – and she did – she couldn’t condone the way he was speaking about the institution of the monarchy that she had spent 70 years preserving,” she added.

Prince Philip had his own reservations about Meghan, giving her a coded nickname – “DoW” – because she reminded him of Wallis Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor, the divorced American socialite whose plans to marry King Edward VIII caused a constitutional crisis that almost led to his abdication.

Harry met the American actress in 2016, with the pair getting engaged a year later in 2017. Their televised royal wedding took place on May 19, 2018. Just like the DoW, Meghan had been married before.
In the book, Ingrid writes that it was Meghan’s nationality as an American, and her status as a divorcee, that lead him to liken her to Edward’s wife. Edward VIII was the uncle of the late Queen who abdicated in 1936. Next in line to the throne was the Queen’s father, George VI, making the young Elizabeth next in line.
