Prince Harry Breaks Silence on Queen Camilla's 'Brainwashed' Remark
Prince Harry Responds to Allegations
Prince Harry has responded to claims in a new book suggesting he was "brainwashed" by Meghan Markle, as reported by author Tom Bower. The allegations are featured in Bower's book, Betrayal: Power, Deceit and the Fight for the Future of the Royal Family.
Allegations in the Book
The book claims that Queen Camilla once believed Prince Harry was "brainwashed" against his family by Meghan Markle. It also suggests that after meeting Meghan, Harry distanced himself from both family and friends.
The Sussexes have criticized Bower's commentary, describing it as crossing the line from criticism to obsession. They argue that his theories are unfounded and add little truth.
Invictus Games Criticism
Bower's book also references criticisms of Prince Harry's 2025 Invictus Games, alleging undue focus on Harry and Meghan’s appearances over the competition itself. It brings up concerns about athletes with mental health conditions competing alongside those with physical impairments.
An Invictus Games spokesperson dismissed this narrative, emphasizing the event's aim of supporting wounded military personnel worldwide.
The Sussexes Post-Royal Life
Following their decision to step back from royal duties in 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle relocated to North America, eventually settling in Montecito, California.
The couple continues to focus on various initiatives, including the Invictus Games, which were established by Prince Harry in partnership with Britain's Ministry of Defence in 2014. The next games are scheduled for Birmingham in 2027.
