'Baloney' and 'Faux-Royal': Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Slammed as 'Fake and Staged' (Photo: REUTERS)A former royal household insider is casting fresh light on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's departure from the monarchy, claiming the Duchess of Sussex entered royal life with expectations that quickly soured and fueled deeper tensions inside the family. Harrold argues that Markle's disillusionment accelerated Prince Harry's own estrangement from his father and brother. The former palace aide is publishing a book, The Royal Butler, later this month, in which he recounts life in the royal household and shares anecdotes about key turning points. The book also reveals Prince Philip's blunt reaction after Harry and Markle's 2018 wedding. The former aide also addressed the possibility of reconciliation between Harry and King Charles, who reportedly may meet this week.
