Is Prince Harry in hot water again? A new book claims he sent 'horrible' emails to royal staff
- Replies 22
In his next book titled Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown, the royal correspondent for the Times, Valentine Low, plans to reveal all of his insider knowledge and observations.
As the man who first reported on bullying claims levelled against the Duchess of Sussex during her time as a working royal, Low has provided a sneak peek of his 'gripping account' in a series of snippets ahead of the book's publication next month.
Among the snippets published is the allegation that Prince Harry was 'just as disrespectful' to Palace personnel as Meghan Markle, with the Duke of Sussex allegedly sending unpleasant emails to senior aides before he and the Duchess left the royal family.
Low claims that Edward Young and Clive Alderton, the private secretaries of the Queen and Prince Charles, were among those who were on the receiving end of these 'horrible' emails from Prince Harry.
The shocking charges are part of a long list of claims made against Meghan and Harry while they were working royals.

'Harry was just as dismissive of the two senior courtiers as Meghan,' wrote Low in a passage from the controversial upcoming book. He then went on to quote a royal insider, who claimed: 'He used to send them horrible emails. So rude.'
According to the book, Harry and Meghan's behaviour also shocked Sam Cohen, a royal private secretary, Sarah Latham, a public relations executive, and Marnie Gaffney, an assistant press secretary.
Another source who spoke to Low said that one of the issues was that everyone in the palace was 'too gentle and civil', which probably led to the problem becoming worse than it already was.
'When someone decides not to be civil, they have no idea what to do. They were run over by her, and then run over by Harry,' they added.
The shocking book also reveals that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex allegedly traumatised their staff to the point that they formed a support group for their former employees called the 'Sussex Survivors Club.'
Even worse, they also called Meghan, who has adamantly refuted prior accusations of bullying, a 'narcissistic sociopath', and claimed they 'were played' by her and Harry.

Low also claims in the book that Harry emailed his father to let him know that he and Meghan were 'unhappy' with royal life and that he attempted to tell the Queen in person.
While in Canada, Harry reportedly sent an email to his father stating that he and Meghan were 'unhappy'. He also acknowledged that they wished to move to North America and live there because their current situation wasn't working for them.
Moreover, the Duke had wanted to pay a private visit to his grandmother before leaving Canada, and according to Low, he intended to let the late Queen know about his plans beforehand.
Unfortunately for him, Harry reportedly received word that the Queen had become 'confused' about her schedule and was no longer available; however, the Duke had his doubts and suspected that the courtiers had gotten in the way. As a result, the private meeting never happened.

In January of 2020, the pair made their surprising announcement: they were renouncing their royal titles and lifestyle.
The ‘Megxit’ plans, according to Low, were made towards the end of the year before, but many employees were kept in the dark about them until the very last minute. ‘Shortly before the end of the year, Meghan confided in a member of her staff that the couple were not coming back,’ he wrote.
‘The rest of the team did not find out until they held a meeting at Buckingham Palace at the beginning of January 2020. They found it hard to accept they were being dumped just like that. Some of them were in tears.’
Representatives for the Sussexes have been reached out to for comment on the book's claims, but they have not responded as of yet.
What do you think about this story, folks? Do you believe that the former royals were really as 'dismissive' as the book claims? Or is this another smear campaign against them? Let us know in the comments!
