Meghan Markle's desire after royal 'humiliation' that Harry 'doesn't understand' (2025)

A royal biographer has claimed that the Duchess of Sussex has one desire after being 'constantly humiliated'. It comes as the writer alleges that the couple are at a 'crisis point'

Meghan Markle has one huge ambition after being 'constantly humiliated', according to one author who is fascinated by the Sussexes.

Royal and celebrity biographer Tom Bower has teased more sensational disclosures about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in another tell-all, following his explosive book about the royal couple in 2022. Bower suggests that Harry and Meghan are embroiled in ongoing conflicts that 'drive them towards vengeance'. He also states that Harry yearns for a reconciliation with the Royal Family and his father, King Charles, but Meghan has other priorities.

Bower believes that the duo's union is at a tipping point following their dramatic exit from royal duties to start anew in California. According to the author, this has led the Duchess to seek a different professional path to her royal husband, something he supposedly 'doesn't understand'. The writer claims: "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 continued: "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."

Bower's initial book, Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors, was published in 2022. His plans for a sequel come as Harry grapples with a severe fallout at his Sentebale charity, which he established in 2006 in honour of his mother, Princess Diana.

He recently made a legal bid to ensure his family's right to taxpayer funded security protection while in the UK. Bower, who has also penned unauthorised biographies on Tony Blair, Mohammed Al-Fayed and the Beckhams, alleged that Harry and Meghan have been deeply affected.

He commented: "They have both been wounded, and 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. A lot of people were sceptical of the first book and couldn't quite believe it. Now more are converted to what I discovered then, and they'll be fascinated by what I've discovered now. So much has changed over the last three years and so many new things have come out about them."

Bower's first book was published a year after the bombshell TV interview of Harry and Meghan with Oprah Winfrey. The book includes claims such as the Queen feeling relieved when Meghan did not attend Prince Philip's funeral in April 2021, and that the Duchess had an "abrasive" attitude and high demands towards her royal staff.
