Palace aide said Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s marriage would ‘end in tears’

An explosive new book has aired the wild comment a palace aide made about Meghan and Harry ahead of their wedding in 2018.

‘End in tears’: Royal aide's prediction of Harry and Meghan's marriage

An aide to the royal family allegedly predicted that Prince Harry’s marriage to Meghan Markle will “all end in tears,” an explosive new book says.

Lady Susan Hussey, who has been a lady-in-waiting to Queen Elizabeth II since the 1960s, allegedly made the comments during a lunch with theatre executives months before the couple’s wedding in May 2018, according to a report.

The comments from the longtime aide were revealed in investigative reporter Tom Bower’s Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors, released earlier this month.

“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,” Bower writes. “‘That will all end in tears,’ she is alleged to have said. ‘Mark my words.’”

Lady Susan, 83, had been part of the team of palace courtiers asked to help Meghan adjust to life inside the royal family, according to Bower.

The book also claims Meghan had beef with Victoria Beckham after growing suspicious that the former Spice Girl was leaking stories about her to the press.

Harry even went on to confront David about it, Bower alleged in his book.

In Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors, Bower writes: “Harry and Meghan were shackled.

“Every night they scoured the internet to read the newspaper reports and the trolls’ postings on social media.

“Irrationally, they grouped the two together and fed each other’s frenzy about the media.

“Convinced that as champions of goodness they were being persecuted by mendacity and racism, they felt victimised by the mildest criticism.

“Harry’s instability fed Meghan’s fears that friends were leaking stories to the media.

“In particular, she suspected Victoria Beckham of indiscretion.

“Harry called David Beckham to repeat the accusation. Outraged, Beckham’s truthful denials damaged their relationship.”
