Prince Harry “badly damaged” his bond with late Queen Elizabeth II due to “high handedness” prior to, and at his wedding to Meghan Markle– according to an expert.
Making the revelation in her book ‘Mother and I’, royal biographer Ingrid Seward shared that the late Queen was upset by her grandson’s “high handedness”.
The writer also reveals Elizabeth was “uncomfortable” with Charles stepping in for Meghan’s father and walking her down the aisle at St George’s Chapel, Windsor.
Quoting the late Queen’s close confidante Lady Elizabeth Anson, Ms Seward goes on to suggest that Harry’s behaviour was due to him being indulged by his parents.
Prince William and Prince Harry‘s late mother, Princess Diana was reportedly concerned that people would think her youngest son was “thick” that she called on her alternative healer Simone Simmons to cure him of headaches caused by dyslexia.
Ms Seward wrote: “Diana once told me William is very sensitive and Harry is very lively,” adding that Harry may have “inherited some of his father’s more unattractive characteristics”.
The Duke of Sussex, who married Meghan in 2018, is previously thought to have shared a close bond with his late grandmother.
Following her death in 2022, Harry has opened about what he misses most about her, sharing that they had “special relationship”.
Speaking previously to PEOPLE, Harry said: “My grandmother and I were very close, and we very much did have a special relationship,” he says. “I miss her dearly, as well as her cheeky sense of humor and quick wit.”
“I’m also really happy for her. She lived a full life and is now reunited with her husband.”
He also added that he would “forever cherish” the time she spent with his own children – five-year-old Archie and three-year-old Lilibet.
Harry added: “I will forever cherish every memory I had with her, especially the times she spent with my children.”
In his bombshell memoir Spare, which was released in paperback last week, Harry reflected on his children’s meeting with their beloved great-grandmother just months before her death. He wrote that Archie was “making deep, chivalrous bows” while Lili – who was named after the late monarch – was “cuddling the monarch’s shins.”
