A royal drama has played out, in a dizzying flash, with Prince Harry allegedly left reeling after his uncle, Prince Andrew, made a jaw-dropping comment about the marriage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
The claims feature in a new book, entitled The Rise and Fall of the House of York, by royal expert Andrew Lownie, which has seen the Prince, in a conversation with Harry, declare that his marriage to Meghan would not last more than a month and that she was an opportunist.
These outrageous allegations have caused a firestorm of controversy and have been further fueled by a viral video of Meghan, which reemerged as the royal family feud erupted.
The play took place when a TikTok video of the wedding of Harry and Meghan in 2018 at St. George’s Chapel went viral with millions of views.
The reaction of the members of the royal family to the ceremony was mixed as the royal fan account posted the video, with some of them not looking too excited about the event.
There was speculation about tension among fans online, but what took the limelight was the alleged comments made by Andrew.
According to sources, he cautioned Harry that Meghan, who was a well-known actress at that time, was too old to be with him, and he should think again.
Harry has been known to be a very protective husband, and these comments were purportedly a shocking blow to him, and a heated argument ensued between the two.
To the confusion, a playful video of Meghan and Harry dancing to the Baby Mama song before the birth of their daughter Lilibet also became viral recently.
The funny video, which was posted on Instagram to mark Lilibet turning four years old, demonstrated the closeness between the couple. Nevertheless, it stirred up the discussion of their role in the royal family, as some people admired their love and others supported the doubts of Andrew.
It went viral as fans took to social media to defend Meghan, with one commenter saying, “She is a rock star!” as other users continued to agitate, with one noting the nervous faces of the royal family during the wedding.
Harry was quick to respond to this; it is not true, as depicted in the book by Lownie, that Harry had a physical fight with Andrew over these remarks.
A spokesperson of the Duke of Sussex informed HELLO! magazine that there was never a physical fight between Prince Harry and Prince Andrew, and also that Andrew has never made those remarks about Meghan to Harry.
Regardless of the denial, the story has been on the lips of royal watchers, with many wondering what the actual relationship between Harry and Andrew is.
With the Sussexes commemorating seven years of marriage and raising their two children, Archie and Lilibet, in California, this scandal underlines the current rift with the royal family.
Some believe Meghan has been treated unfairly, whereas others believe what Andrew is quoted as saying is a symptom of underlying tension. This royal soap opera refuses to die down with its viral videos and bombastic allegations, and the fans, as well as its critics, will have to keep glued to its every turn and twist.
