Friends of Prince Harry allegedly had a shocking reaction to him dating Meghan Markle after she ‘told them off’, a book claims.

According to author Tom Bower, Harry‘s associates dubbed him “[blank]ing nuts” following a weekend gathering at Sandringham.

Furthermore, the book alleges the Duchess of Sussex “challenged” guests over unspecified comments.

Additionally, reports claim jokes around topics such as sexism, feminism and transgender issues may have drawn Meghan’s ire.

However, it seems not all of the banter impressed Meghan.

‘Queen’s relief’

In addition, more allegations made in Mr Bower’s book have come to light over the weekend.

Among them is the claim the Queen was  ‘relieved’ Meghan would not be attending Prince Philip’s funeral,

The April 2021 funeral came just weeks after the Harry and Meghan Oprah interview.

Harry did make it over from the US but his pregnant wife remained in California.

Mr Bower alleges: “Meghan had cited her seven months’ pregnancy as the reason for not travelling.

“In Windsor Castle the Queen was preparing to face the public on one of the saddest days of her life. Philip had been her rock for the previous 70 years.
