The claim was made by British author Tom Bower, who has previously written several unauthorized biographies of famous people, including Prince Charles, Ghislaine Maxwell’s father Robert Maxwell, and Mohamed Al-Fayed.
Bower told The Sun on Monday that Charles’ wife kept her thoughts about the former “Suits” star “tight-lipped.”
“From the outset, Camilla was suspicious about the adventuress from Los Angeles,” he claimed to the outlet. “She found it hard to believe that Meghan would sacrifice her career and independence to serve silently as a team player devoted to the monarchy.”
“But, as in all her conduct, Camilla remained tight-lipped,” Bower continued. “While watching Charles painfully believe that Harry was intent on publicly humiliating him, Camilla undoubtedly provided the comfort and good advice to reassure her husband that he had done the best he could.”
Bower also claimed that Prince Harry’s stepmother had a nickname for his wife that he didn’t know about.
“… Camilla is the sort who would refer to Meghan as ‘that minx’ – the self-seeking troublemaker whose antics will always end in tears,” Bower claimed.
Bower is reportedly working on a book about Markle.
Queen Elizabeth II expressed a “sincere wish” earlier this month that Camilla, 74, be known as “Queen Consort” when her eldest son, Prince Charles, succeeds her to the throne as expected.
Many in Britain took years to forgive Charles, the man whose admitted infidelity caused so much pain to his ex-wife Princess Diana before she died in a car crash in Paris in 1997. However, public opinion shifted after Charles, 73, married Camilla Parker Bowles in 2005, and she became Duchess of Cornwall.
Despite her role in the separation of Charles’ first marriage, Camilla’s down-to-earth style and sense of humor won over many.
Bower told the outlet that Markle and Harry, 37, have stayed quiet about the monarch’s announcement.
“It is believed that [Meghan] has never liked Camilla, and I am sure the feelings are reciprocated,” he alleged.
A representative for Buckingham Palace did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News.
When Markle married Harry in May 2018 at Windsor Castle, she became the Duchess of Sussex. Archie Harrison Mountbatten-Windsor, the couple’s son, was born in 2019.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down from royal duties in 2020, citing the British media’s intrusions and racist attitudes toward the duchess. The family now lives in Montecito, California, on the coast.
Following their resignation from royal duties, they gave an explosive TV interview to Oprah Winfrey in March, in which they described painful comments about how dark Archie’s skin might have been before his birth. The duchess discussed the intense isolation she felt within the royal family, which led her to consider suicide.
Buckingham Palace said the couple’s allegations of racism were “concerning” and would be addressed privately.
On June 4, the couple welcomed their second child, a daughter named Lilibet “Lili” Diana Mountbatten-Windsor. The name pays tribute to the queen, 95, whose family nickname is Lilibet, as well as Harry’s late mother.
