Prince Harry is totally whipped by Meghan, even the King knows it – she'll hate his reduced status now, expert says
PRINCE Harry is totally "whipped" by his wife Meghan Markle and even King Charles know it, a royal expert has claimed. Writer and broadcaster Esther Krauke also added that the Duchess of Sussex , 43, will also hate her reduced status among the Royal Family. 5 Prince Harry, is 'whipped' by his wife, Meghan Markle, seen here from earlier this year, a royal expert claims Credit: Getty 5 Esther Krauke says King Charles has commented on his son's relationship with Meghan Credit: Getty 5 The country's opinion of the Duchess of Sussex has evolved, our royal expert says Credit: Not known, clear with picture desk Ms Krauke, made the comments while appearing on the She said: 'We know that King Charles said something about him being whipped. 'We keep hearing things consistently coming out from courtiers and people that are close to the Royal Family.' It is stressed that the implication here was that Harry was under the thumb of his wife, rather than any suggestion of physical abuse. Read More on Prince Harry Ms Krauke added that both the late Queen's and the country's opinion of Meghan Markle had evolved over time. She said: 'The Queen's opinion of Meghan involved, and it's much like how the country's opinion evolved. 'And much like the public, I think the Queen thought Meghan was a breath of fresh air. 'Very intelligent, very well-spoken, obviously from her acting background. Most read in Royals 'And she worked, she welcomed her. I think, like much of the country with open arms, I think where things went wrong was clearly the cultural clash.' She added: 'And I think in some ways Meghan thought she was marrying a billionaire, but was marrying a millionaire with like sort of a reduced status. 'So that might have been not appealing eventually. New Meghan allegations are dynamite, they prove she sees Prince Harry as a stepping stone 'But also I just I don't think she fully understood or was even interested in what the role was supposed to become. 'She hadn't earned enough brownie points to actually be able to choose the tools she wanted to go on in the way that she wanted to do or curate her image in the same way, you know, most people would just be like, oh, you have to kind of have skin in the game. 'You have to have, I'm sorry. 'Open schools in Wales on a rainy day for a number of years before you ingratiate yourself and garner that goodwill. 'But I don't think she had that approach or attitude. And you could say it's very American, you know, very can-do spirit.' Mr Dampier previously gave his opinions on the views expressed by royal biographer Bedell Smith that Queen Elizabeth II had shared her alleged doubts over the new Duchess, and feared Harry was "weak". Mr Dampier said the author was extremely close to Lady Elizabeth Anson, who was a confidante and a cousin of the Queen. "And Liza Shockley, as Sally Smith likes to call her, she was speaking to the Queen on a regular basis right up until her death, spoke to her every day, even in lockdown," he continued. Mr Dampier claimed, therefore, this meant information had come "right from the horse's mouth". He also alleged "we can trust this information", which is "very, very telling". In harsh comments, the expert shared his thoughts: "And to be honest, it confirms what we'd already suspected that you know, that at first the Queen was very keen on Meghan." Mr Dampier further alleged the Queen's reported "doubts" about Meghan "ruined her close relationship with Harry". Bedell Smith also claimed Meghan was rude to the late Queen for 10 minutes over wedding details. "She remarked that Harry was perhaps a little bit too much in love, was possibly besotted and a bit weak and being manipulated by Meghan," he continued. Sharing his own opinions, Mr Dampier added: "I think, unfortunately, that confirms what I've been saying or thought for the last few years that, sadly, Meghan never really had any intention of staying in the royal family. "She saw as a stepping stone getting married to to Harry to to to new fame and fortune. "And I think that's what initially Prince William was concerned about. And that's why they fell out. And now we are where we are. But to have this confirmed by somebody so close to the Queen is, is is really dynamite." This comes as for the first time, This week Sally published 'explosive' revelations made to her by one of Her Majesty's closest confidantes, her first cousin once removed, Lady Elizabeth Anson, in several conversations in 2018 and 2019. Lady Elizabeth claimed there were serious concerns in the upper echelons of the Just days before the wedding, she had told Sally: 'We hope but don't quite think [Meghan] is in love. 'We think she engineered it all.' She added: 'It's worrying that so many people are questioning whether Meghan is right for Harry. 'The problem, bless his heart, is that Harry is neither bright nor strong, and she is both." The observations by Lady Elizabeth, who died from lung cancer in November 2020 aged 79, show the warning signs were there from the start — and proved well-founded. She said But as their wedding approached, they both caused a stir with their poor behaviour — and blatant disrespect for the Queen. Harry was reportedly 'rude to her for ten minutes' in one meeting and upset her by asking the In January 2020, Harry and Meghan announced they had chosen to 'transition this year in starting to carve out a progressive new role within this institution'. At first, it seemed they wanted to keep one foot in the royal fold, while pursuing financial opportunities on the outside. But after months of negotiations, the Queen and the then Prince Charles laid down the law — they were either fully in or fully out. There was no in-between. The couple opted for the latter and moved to the US later that year, infamously launching a crusade of Palace-bashing and com- plaints against the royals in the aftermath. 5 The Duke and Duchess were seen out in New York City earlier this year Credit: Getty 5 Esther Krauke says the late Queen initially welcomed Meghan into the Royal Family Credit: Getty
