Prince Harry, Meghan Markle were not liked by royal staff?

Royal staff reportedly had a secret nickname for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, according to a new book that delves into Queen Elizabeth II's last days.

Prince Philip's friend and royal author Gyles Brandeth claims that palace employees all refer to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in the same way.

An excerpt from Brandeth's upcoming book "Elizabeth: An Intimate Portrait" describes how staff snubbed the couple by using a nickname.

The new book sheds light on the late monarch, from the dangerous way she gave birth to three of her children, to her final conversations and one of her favourite BBC dramas.

Queen Elizabeth II 'was battling cancer' in the last few months of her life, a new biography has claimed.

The official cause of Queen Elizabeth II was listed as "old age", but Gyles Brandreth claimed: “I had heard that the Queen had a form of myeloma — bone marrow cancer — which would explain her tiredness and weight loss and those ‘mobility issues’ we were often told about during the last year or so of her life.” 

“If Harry and Meghan are mentioned to members of the Royal Family, they simply smile briefly and say ‘we wish them all the best’ and nothing else.”
