Prince Harry has been dubbed a “lamb to the slaughter” who has “blindly followed” the actions of his wife Meghan Markle since their marriage.

Legendary editor Tina Brown said the royal has been “getting it all wrong” since he tied the knot with the Duchess of Sussex.

In the years since their 2018 marriage, Prince Harry’s relations with his father, King Charles, and brother, Prince William, have hit rock bottom  after the royal’s explosive revelations about  life within the royal family.

Brown, the former editor-in-chief of Vanity Fair, accused Meghan of having poor judgment in a scathing takedown on The Ankler podcast with Janice Win.

“The trouble with Meghan is that she has the worst judgment of anyone in the entire world,” she said.

“She’s flawless about getting it all wrong. All of her ideas are total crap, unfortunately.”

Brown said Prince Harry was heavily influenced  by his wife and almost child-like in his adoration of her.

“[Harry is] the lamb to the slaughter in this situation. And he just sort of blindly followed her like a child, really.”

Brown has previously dubbed the royal a “very impetuous man”.

She said: “He was so fragile, so combustible, he was so unhappy, frankly, in the constraints of the royal family.”

It came after royal  expert Jennie Bond claimed that Meghan could be opting to keep her personal memoir “in her back pocket” should she need it later “for revenge”.

Meghan hinted at a journal from her royal days in a 2022 interview, fuelling rumours of anther tell-all.

“It’s more than two years since she gave that interview, and she has steered clear of controversy about the royal family since,” Bond told OK!

“Obviously, the journal she mentioned will remain a potential weapon in her back pocket if she ever feels the need to seek some sort of revenge.”

However, Bond noted that Meghan had “behaved with discretion and dignity” ever since her explosive Oprah Winfrey interview and the couple’s Netflix documentary series.

“I think she is looking forwards, not backwards and is moving on with her life,” she said.

“So I don’t think we should be raising false alarms about any potential memoir.”

Rumours of Meghan’s tell-all book have been swirling ever since Prince Harry’s bombshell memoir Spare hit shelves in January 2023.
