Rare Film Show Threatens George’s Succession Line, Claims New Book

Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, reportedly feared becoming irrelevant after Prince George turned 18 and was decided to make an impact beforehand, according to a new book.

In an upcoming book by Times royal correspondent Valentine Lowe titled “Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown,” insiders revealed that Harry was frustrated by his advisors holding him back from getting involved in the same areas as his brother, the Prince of Wales.

Lowe, in an excerpt published in the Times, stated that Harry had a deep-seated fear that his time as a working royal was running out.

He compared himself to his uncle, Prince Andrew, and believed he had a limited platform until George's 18th birthday.

The book quotes an insider who said, “He had this thing that he had a shelf life.

He was fixated on this.”

Efforts by Harry's staff to reassure him that he could still have a significant impact in his later years if he laid the right foundations did little to ease his concerns.

According to the book, Harry's desire to establish his legacy in the same areas as Prince William could lead to tensions, with some advisors discouraging his ambitions as it did not align with their collective goals.

Lowe also reveals that Harry harbored a deep mistrust of courtiers at Buckingham Palace and his father's residence.

The Duke's longstanding grievances with the British tabloid press reportedly strained relationships with his own staff if he felt they were not on his side.

A supplier quoted in the book described Harry's constant test of loyalty, questioning whether his staff would protect him or become part of the media he battled against.

The new book, set to be published on October 6th, also delves into interactions between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and palace staff during their time as working royals.

In March 2021, Buckingham Palace initiated an investigation into allegations that Meghan mistreated two personal assistants.

Meghan's lawyers denied the accusations when they were first made, and it has been reported that the outcome of the investigation will remain confidential to protect the anonymity of those involved.

Meghan's lawyer, Jenny Afia, emphasized in a BBC podcast that bullying involves repeatedly and deliberately using power to harm someone physically or emotionally.

She vehemently denied that the Duchess of Sussex engaged in such behavior, stating that it contradicted her personal experience of Meghan.

However, she acknowledged that Meghan would not discount anyone else's personal experiences.

In other news, Prince Harry reportedly felt that Prince William and Kate Middleton did not warmly welcome Meghan Markle into the royal family.

Royal expert Katie Nicholl revealed that Harry expected more support from his elder brother when he introduced Meghan into their lives.

Nicholl mentioned that William was the first to meet Meghan and was thrilled that Harry had found someone he deeply cared for.

However, there wasn't an immediate and enthusiastic reception from the entire royal fold.

Meghan and Harry eventually stepped back from their roles as working royals in 2020 and currently reside in California with their children.
