What a load of old tosh - Robert Lacey is another fantasist!
"The British royal system can be very cruel, and it's particularly cruel to the spare," Lacey said, adding: "Harry came to realize in his teens that he was typecast as the court jester, the number two."
Lacey claims Harry has had a problem with his second class "spare" status since he was a teen, but it was only when he met "megawatt" Meghan that he realised he was a "rock star royal" in his own right.
MEGHAN 'WASN'T MADE TO FEEL IMPORTANT ENOUGH'
Meghan Markle was a ‘massive problem’ for the royal family and wasn't made to feel important enough, Prince Harry’s biographer has claimed.
Robert Lacey, who wrote the sensational new book Battle of Brothers, appeared on Good Morning Britain chatting about the Sussex’s with co-host Piers Morgan.
The 76-year-old said: “Meghan was a massive problem for the Royal Family.
“It's easy to be wise after the event. Here's a self-made woman.
“A self-made millionairess, the only one in the Royal Family who's made her own money, created her own celebrity and not inherited it.”
Robert also claimed that the former actress wasn’t made to feel ‘important’, implying this partly fuelled their move to the US.
He said: “She wasn't made to feel important enough and they are now where they want to be.”
From Lacey's source notes for Band of Brothers:
Chapter 18 – Kate’s Not!
Katie Nicholl is a tireless and reliable source on the relationship between William and Kate.
Chapter 21 – White Knight
With the arrival of Meghan Markle, I must express my gratitude to the research of Emily Andrews and her insightful profiles in the Sun. See also Morgan Evans and Eileen Reslen, ‘A Definitive History of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Royal Relationship’, Town & Country, 8 May 2019.
Chapter 25 – Christmas Message
I am grateful for the work and insights of my longstanding friend Carolyn Durand and her research with Omid Scobie in their book Finding Freedom, New York: Dey Street Books, 2020.
(Any biography that is relying on the mouthpieces like Katie Nicholls, Omid, Caroline and PR outlets like Town & Country.......)
ETA Worth noting this from Chapter 25:
The three huge law cases against the British media establishment launched by Harry and Meghan while they were in Africa were the supreme examples of this – pure insubordination, not just to Young and his staff, who would have to process the implications as they affected the crown, but ultimately to the Queen. It was absolutely unknown for one, let alone three, such major conflicts with the outside world to be initiated by any member of the family without the Queen’s blessing – which Harry and Meghan had neither asked for nor received.
So, somehow, somewhere, in some royal setting or other in the autumn of 2019, there must have been the most godawful explosion over what Harry had done – and let his wife do – without the courtesy of consulting the boss. Was the whole issue delegated to Prince Charles to try to talk some sense into his rebellious son? William could hardly help, no longer enjoying the trust to argue things out with his younger brother. So perhaps it was just handed over to Sir Edward Young …
These are some of the possible developments –
but sorry, folks, once again we are confronted by that challenge of credible evidence. It is not easy to establish the key ingredients in the Windsor winter of discontent that followed the Sussex tour of Africa and would culminate in the spring of 2020 with Meghan and Harry kicking the dust of Britain – along with their entire royal status – from their shoes.
The couple themselves have let slip a few details via Finding Freedom, a semi-authorised book by Scottish-Iranian Omid Scobie, royal editor for Harper’s Bazaar, and US TV journalist Carolyn Durand, published in August 2020. But the rest of the family – whom we must now define as ‘the other side’ – have stayed resolutely ‘mum’. The Queen, Prince Charles and brother William have all strictly observed the precautionary practice that we have already noted between the two brothers – ‘the less said, the safer’. Yet silence can only hide so much of the truth.
