New Book Says Prince Andrew Called Meghan an 'Opportunist' as Sussexes Push Back
The dispute over a late‑March biography underscores persistent rifts within the royal family.
Overview
- Tom Bower’s biography, published in late March 2026, reports that Prince Andrew privately labeled Meghan Markle an “opportunist” in the context of King Charles III’s May 2023 coronation at Westminster Abbey.
- A spokesperson for Harry and Meghan told OK! that the book’s claims are obsessive and speculative, and they rejected the account.
- Prince Andrew has not made any public comment on the statements attributed to him in the book.
- The book also alleges Andrew resisted a directive from the King to move from Royal Lodge to Frogmore during that period.
- Royal reporter Russell Myers previously said William and Harry never had a close relationship with Andrew, noting William was “not a big fan” of his.
