Meghan Markle would have thought she would become queen before Kate Middleton, claims British journalist Tom Bower, author specializing in the royal family.
According to journalist specializing in the royal family Tom Bower, the Duchess of Sussex believed that one day she would become queen before Kate Middleton, although Prince Harry was fifth in line to the throne, writes Wonderwall magazine.
“She really believed that she, not Kate, should be the next Queen after the death of King Charles III”declared the author of the volume Betrayal: Power, Deceit and the Fight for the Future of the Royal Familyin the podcast “Kinsey Schofield Unfiltered”.
“She couldn’t see why, if she was prettier, smarter, harder-working and generally superior, she shouldn’t be queen”Bower said. “And she loathed the idea of her and Harry being pushed so low in the pecking order… Which is why, of course, she never intended to stay.”
According to the author, a person from the royal court allegedly told Queen Elizabeth II that “Meghan Markle thinks that once she marries into the royal family, she’ll become God. Which is pretty funny, but she obviously really believed that.”
The couple’s reaction
After these claims in Bower’s new book, as well as other accusations against the former Suits actress, Meghan and Harry reacted publicly.
“Bower’s comments have long crossed the line of criticism and reached a fixation”a representative of the couple said in a statement to NBC News.
“He has publicly stated that ‘the monarchy, in fact, depends on the complete elimination of the Sussexes from our public life'”the source continued. “He has built his career on developing increasingly complex theories about people he does not know and has never met. Those interested in the facts will look elsewhere for the information.”
For her part, royal correspondent Jennie Bond believes that the volume “it has reached an extremely sensitive point” for Meghan and Harry.
“Currently, Harry and Meghan rarely offer any reactions; they prefer to ignore the noise and gossip”she wrote for the Daily Mirror.
“But this time the reaction was swift and extremely harsh”explained the journalist. “For Harry, any attack on his wife is a betrayal and provokes a visceral reaction: he will defend her to the end.”
“The problem is that his rekindled anger and this new focus on all the things that have gone wrong in recent years could reopen old wounds.”Bond added.
