Will this book have Prince Harry and Meghan Markle worried? | A new book by the man who broke the story that a bullying investigation into Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex’s, behaviour was to be launched at Buckingham Palace may contradict the picture painted by Prince Harry of the ‘men in grey suits’.
Royal correspondent Valentine Low has spoken to a number of the people who work behind the scenes for the Royal Family for his title Courtiers.
While palace aides are largely unknown to the public, the Daily Mail’s Richard Eden points out that they weren’t trusted by Princess Diana and are ‘figures that have been really pilloried by Harry and Meghan’.
‘They’ve always seen them as this negative, evil force in the background. Everything is always blamed on them,’ he tells our royal talk show Palace Confidential. ‘Perhaps [this book] will give a different side of things.’
The Mail on Sunday’s assistant editor Kate Mansey believes that the book by The Times journalist, which is due to be published in the autumn amid a flurry of royal tomes, will cause nerves in palace corridors.
‘I think there is a slight apprehension - [they] like being the faceless people behind the scenes pulling the levers,’ she tells Palace Confidential.
‘The idea that they’re going to be named and featured in some of these stories and anecdotes that are going to come to light in the book might give them pause for thought.’
The panel also examine the Duchess of York’s surprise purchase of a £7million property in Mayfair.
The move has upset a socialite who accepted a cut-price deal from the Duke and Duchess of York for a Swiss ski chalet after they claimed to be unable to afford her terms.
Kate Mansey points out that Fergie’s former debtors, whom she paid 10p in the pound, will also likely be unhappy.
‘They’ll be thinking “hang on a minute, I wasn’t paid the full amount that you owed me and all of a sudden you have millions in the bank to afford this investment property”.’
But the Mail on Sunday’s editor-at-large Charlotte Griffiths believes there might be more to the deal than meets the eye.
‘The deeds aren’t out for another six months,’ she tells the programme.
‘And I just wouldn’t be surprised if Sarah Ferguson’s name wasn’t the only name on the deeds, I shall say no more.’
