The Queen ‘is more angry with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle than with Prince Andrew’s Epstein interview

THE Queen is feeling “very let down and angry with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle” after their shock decision to step down as senior members of the Royal Family, a former aide has claimed.

Appearing on Good Morning Britain today, Her Majesty’s ex-press spokesman Dickie Arbiter argued The Queen will be feeling “more angry” than after Prince Andrew’s “car crash” Newsnight interview discussing his involvement in the Epstein scandal.

Discussing how the couple’s announcement came as a shock to the Royal Family, the expert said: “The Queen didn’t know, William didn’t know.

“[Prince Harry and Meghan Markle] had a brief chat with the Prince of Wales some time ago and he cautioned them to get everything in place before you make an announcement.

Dickie claims Prince Charles advised the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to “work out the logistics” of how they were going to split their time between the UK and North America before formally making an announcement – but they allegedly “didn’t listen to him”.

After the couple made the announcement last night, Buckingham Palace responded with a statement in which they said “discussions with the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are at early stage” but admitted it was a “complicated issue”.

Describing how Her Majesty will have responded to the news, Dickie said: “The Queen will be feeling very let down and very angry, probably more angry than she felt after Andrew’s carcrash interview.”

Although fellow panellists Trisha Goddard and Sally Jones expressed outrage over his claim, the expert asserted that Harry and Meghan have dropped a “bombshell” while Prince Andrew’s involvement in the Epstein scandal has been “going on for ages”.

Since Prince Andrew’s disastrous Newsnight interview in November, the royal was sacked from royal duties by his “disappointed” mother.

The expert also criticised the couple for releasing a new photo of their son Archie on New Years Eve which “overshadowed” Prince William’s new environmental initiative.

Insisting they’ve been “asking for trouble” by breaking away from the Royal Family, Dickie said: “There was a time when there was coordination, when households talked to each other.

“That one wouldn’t overshadow the other one – that’s how good organisations work.”

In more Royal Family news, The Sun’s royal photographer thinks Harry is “doing what he’s told” by Meghan who wanted to get out of the limelight.

And Meghan and Harry have been accused of “having their cake and eating it” by not letting go of their royal privileges after their shock exit.

Plus Meghan and Harry could become the BIGGEST Instagram influencers on the planet after quitting the Royals.
