A long-time aide to the royal family allegedly warned the Queen that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s marriage would “end in tears”, according to a bombshell new book.
Lady Susan Hussey, who has been a lady-in-waiting to the Queen since the 1960s, reportedly made the grim prediction during a lunch with theater executives months before Meghan and Prince Harry tied the knot in May 2018.
Investigative writer Tom Bower made the claims in his book Revenge: Meghan, Harry And The War Between The Windsors, which was published earlier this week.
The comments were allegedly made a few months before Prince Harry and Meghan got married.

“‘That will all end in tears,’ she is alleged to have warned. ‘Mark my words.'”
The explosive book claimed that Lady Susan, 83, visited Meghan at Nottingham Cottage to offer advice in the lead-up to their wedding.
The Duchess of Sussex then allegedly became “insistent” that she would not let the Royal Family dictate her actions and thoughts.
Furthermore, Tom claimed the Queen was relieved that Meghan didn’t attend Prince Philip’s funeral in April last year.
“Thank goodness Meghan is not coming,” he reports the monarch saying “in a clear voice to her trusted aides.”
The explosive claims by Tom, who is best known for his unauthorised biographies of British celebrities, comes a week after Meghan and Prince Harry visited New York City.

The Duke of Sussex spoke about the South African icon’s life and legacy and touched on a photograph he owns of his mother, the late Princess Diana, with Mandela.
“On my wall, and in my heart every day, is an image of my mother and Mandela meeting in Cape Town in 1997,” he said.
Whilst Meghan didn’t speak on the UN stage, she and Harry did pose for photos with key figures including the President of the United Nations General Assembly and Deputy Secretary General of the UN, Amina Mohammed.
