PRINCE Harry was “infuriated” after a “bombshell” from King Charles over the cost of paying for Meghan, a new royal book has claimed.
Robert Jobson’s new book Our King: Charles III — The Man And The Monarch Revealed, chronicles explosive new details on the fractured relationships between the Sussexes and the Royal Family.

The Duke of Sussex was hurt when he told his father he was planning to marry the actress and did not receive the response he may have hoped for, according to the Mail on Sunday.
The incident took place during a meeting between the royal princes, and Charles, in the run-up to Harry and Meghan’s wedding.
Harry had been intending to reveal to his father his intention to wed Meghan – but his older brother had already broke the news.
Then, after Harry told Charles himself, William spoke first again, reportedly saying “Are you sure, Harold?”.
But what followed was a “bombshell”, where Charles told his youngest that he “couldn’t afford to pay for Meghan in the future” alongside Camilla, William and Catherine, and their young family.
This reportedly “infuriated” Harry.
The book also claims the Princess of Wales described the Windsor walkabout with Harry and Meghan after the Queen’s death as “one of the hardest things she’d ever had to do”.
Kate, Prince William, Harry and Meghan walked side by side as they made their way toward the crying crowds, in what seemed to be a show of unity.
But Jobson says a source close to the Royal Family revealed it was in fact an “illusion”.
And it is said that even the Queen, who had always had great affection for him, eventually tired of his outbursts.
Her Majesty reportedly found the volatile exchanges between Harry and William wearisome.
Queen was frankly mystified by Harry and Meg’s behaviour, describing it as “quite mad”.
She came to believe, however, that her grandson was “so consumed” by his love for his wife that it was “clouding his judgment”.
According to the Mail, the Queen had the room swept for bugs before Sandrigham Summit out of fears that the private conversation would be leaked.
Despite that, the Queen sincerely hoped that her grandson would find peace and happiness living the life he had chosen.
It comes after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly set to announce their plans for the King’s coronation within days.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are said to be on the brink of a decision ahead of next month’s ceremony at Westminster Abbey.
The couple have remained tight-lipped over their plans despite the deadline for RSVPs having passed on Monday.
If they chose to attend they would not take part in the procession after the service or join other working members of the Royal Family on the balcony.
Buckingham Palace have been contacted for comment.
