Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are said to be faced with a "crisis" as the couple seek different things following their bombshell decision to quit the Royal Family, a royal author claimed. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex stepped down as senior working royals in 2020 and have since been embroiled in a rift with the Firm that has become increasingly deeper.

Now, royal author Tom Bower, who promised new revelations about the couple in a new book that he is writing, claimed that the Sussex couple "seek revenge" as they are faced with constant battles in their lives. He told the Mirror: "I’ve got a lot of new material already and I think the whole world wants new insights. This is such a famous couple who are fighting [for themselves] all the time. They are relentless and they are restless, and that’s what makes it so interesting."

Mr Bower went on to claim that Harry and Meghan have a "crisis" as the duke wants to reconcile with his estranged family, whereas Meghan wants to be a "billionaire celebrity".

He explained: "They have a crisis, Meghan wants to be a billionaire celebrity and Harry doesn’t understand that world, other than [understanding that] Meghan wants to be famous.

"He’s spent his whole life never having a penny in his pocket. He’s never regularly travelled on the Tube, never had to worry about having a car or a job.

"So he doesn’t understand where she’s coming from, which is that she worked phenomenally hard, struggled hard, and was constantly humiliated, and wants the security of finance and status.

He added: "She hasn’t got the status she craves, she hasn’t got the pulling power. He’s stuck in California clinging on to his royal status, as is she.

"Harry’s thinking is of reconciliation. That’s just totally unrealistic. There is zero chance of reconciliation because there is irreconcilable anger on the part of William and Kate."

The author said that both Harry and Meghan have been "wounded" by the royals' attitude towards them after their bombshell exit.

He said: "What’s fascinating about them is they don’t stop fighting back. And the fight back is just as important as their survival.

"This battle for survival and the fight for revenge is increasing by the week."
