A Queen's aide allegedly said Prince Harry and Meghan Markle 's relationship would 'end in tears', according to a new book by Tom Bowers
The author spoke to 80 people who know the couple personally and their beginning a new life in the USA. The book, called Revenge: Harry and the War between the Windsors, was released earlier this year.
A number of claims were made in the book, reports the Mirror. They include how Meghan didn't get on with Harry's friends once they were an item.
The late Queen 's Lady-in-Waiting, Lady Susan Hussey, made one of the most interesting remarks, as she discussed the couple's relationship prior to their wedding in 2018.
Lady Susan is said to have made the comment at a lunch with a group of theatre executives, months before the pair tied the knot. She was reportedly one of the Queen's dearest friends, and a close confidant.
Lady Susan said: "While discussing the possibility that Meghan might become linked with the National Theatre after the wedding, Hussey became unexpectedly serious about the couple’s future. 'That will all end in tears,' she is alleged to have warned. 'Mark my words.'"
She was made one of Prince William's godmothers after he was born in 1982, an honour given to her by King Charles and the late Princess Diana, who were then the Prince and Princess of Wales, and also fond of Lady Susan, respecting her relationship with they Queen.
Having originally joined the Royal Household in 1960 as someone to help answer letters, Lady Susan was a long serving lady-in-waiting to Her Majesty, becoming one of her closest friends.
Lady Susan's parents were the 12th Earl and Countess of Waldegrave. Already Dame Commander of the Royal Victorian Order, she was promoted to Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order in 2013,
She was specifically asked by the Queen to sit next to her in her car as she arrived at Prince Philip's funeral in April this year. She was last photographed attending the Queen's state funeral at Westminster Abbey on September 19.
While Queen Elizabeth II had a number of close friends in the lady-in-waiting role, Royal experts say that the new Queen consort, Camilla, will not follow in her mother-in-law's footsteps.
Both Camilla and Kate, The Princess of Wales, were asked if they would like to appoint ladies of their own when they married into the Royal Family, but declined.
