Prince Harry's friends would tell him that he was "f**king nuts" for dating Meghan Markle, according to a new book “Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War between the Windsors."
The Sun obtained several excerpts from the book that particularly described "endless banter, jokes — and a lot of drinking" that were the parties between Prince Harry and his pals from England’s prestigious Eton College. The big company would gather at the royal family’s Sandringham country estate in 2016, assembling a gang of 16 friends of Harry's, as well as their wives and girlfriends.
However, Meghan Markle did not really enjoy the gatherings. According to the book, she berated her future husbands' friends over their “jokes about sexism, feminism and transgender people."
“Without hesitation, Meghan challenged every guest whose conversation contravened her values,” the book reads, according to The Sun. “According to Harry’s friends, again and again she reprimanded them about the slightest inappropriate nuance. Nobody was exempt.”
Prince Harry apparently “had not anticipated Meghan’s reaction," and his girlfriend was quickly blasted by his friends as a “dampener on the party.” They informed him that he must have been "f**king nuts" for dating her.
“She lacked any sense of humor,” the authors continued. “Driving home after Sunday lunch, the texts pinged between the cars: ‘OMG, what about HER?’"
This lack of his friends' blessing did not stop Prince Harry from marrying Meghan in 2017. Two years later, the couple welcomed their first child, Archie. In 2020, the couple announced that they would be parting ways with Buckingham Palace, stepping down from their royal duties and moving to North America to live an independent life. A year later, their daughter Lilibeth was born.
