Harry being stripped of his Duke of Sussex title ‘has been discussed at the highest level’ new bombshell book reveals – as it emerges officials joked he ‘was Meghan’s hostage’ and the family were ‘shocked by his demands and behaviour’ before Queen’s death
• Royal aides joked that Meghan kept Harry ‘hostage’ and blame her for the fallout
• Others allege Harry is the ‘driving force’ in the row that could cost him his title
Discussions about stripping Harry of his Duke of Sussex title were held at the highest level and senior aides joked that he was a ‘hostage’ of his wife Meghan, a new bombshell book has revealed.
The new book by veteran Royal writer Robert Jobson, due to be published on Thursday, shows how palace insiders would make jibes about Harry being a ‘victim of Stockholm syndrome’ as they blamed Meghan for the ‘fallout’ with the Royal Family.
Others, including some senior officials who feel Harry has ‘turned his back on everything he has known’, think the is the ‘driving force in everything that happened’ and want to see him demoted to Mr Mountbatten-Windsor of Montecito, California.
King Charles is understood to ‘not to be in favour’ of axing Harry’s royal title and has ‘enduring love for his son’, despite having made the decision that Meghan should not accompany Harry to Balmoral when the family gathered after the Queen died.
Senior sources, noting how Harry had insisted that Meghan join him in Scotland, claim that his demands ‘did not go down well with the family’ and ‘they were all shocked by his behaviour’.
