Former Prince Andrew is the one throwing shade at Meghan Markle. In his new book titled Betrayal, Tom Bower details how Andrew apparently saw Prince Harry’s wife as an “opportunist.”
His book revisits key flashpoints between the royals, including Harry, Andrew and the Duchess of Sussex. It also explores the reported divisions between the Sussexes and the wider royal household. Andrew Mountbatten Windsor as he’s now known, is in some hot water for his previous ties to late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

There appear to be plenty of cracks within the royal family. Andrew’s alleged blunt assessment of Meghan may signify exactly that. A source tells OK! that Andrew’s take on her “underscores how deeply fractured relationships had become behind closed doors.”
Meghan may not be the only person that Andrew has it out for. In his book, Tom writes about tensions between Meghan’s husband and the former Prince. He alleges a moment of abrasiveness from Harry towards his uncle, including an awkward car ride to Westminster Abbey in 2023. This was ahead of the coronation of Andrew’s brother, King Charles. This February, some sources claimed that Harry was fed up with the comparisons people had between him and Andrew.
A spokesperson for Harry and Meghan has dismissed the claims made in this memoir. They say that Tom’s commentary has long “crossed the line from criticism into fixation.” According to them, Tom has made a career of creating elaborate theories about people he has never met.
At the same time, many royal insiders have noted that Andrew hasn’t been in good standing with his nephews, Harry or Prince William. Royal reporter Russell Myers says that neither Harry nor William ever had a “close relationship” with Andrew. Betrayal came out in stores on March 26.
