Meghan Markle told Prince William to “get his finger out of my face” during an argument over Kate Middleton, according to a new biography of the Princess of Wales.
The incident came after the Duchess of Sussex claimed Kate’s “baby brain” had caused her to forget a detail of her wedding plans.
During post-honeymoon discussions to clear the air, Kate berated the Duchess, telling her they were “not close enough for you to talk about my hormones”, before William described Meghan as “rude”.
“Meghan stood up to him and said, ‘Get your finger out of my face,’” royal author Rob Jobson wrote.
“Things had definitely cooled down between them, even deteriorated,” he added.
The announcement comes as Buckingham Palace announced the publication of a new set of royal values, including a commitment to “stay curious” and “help shape a better world”.
The Palace said in its annual report: “The new reign has given the royal house the opportunity to define a new expression of its mission, underpinned by a renewed set of values.”
Prince Harry is expected to receive his inheritance later this year
Prince Harry is set to receive a significant portion of his inheritance from the Queen Mother later this year, when he turns 40 on September 15.
Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, who died in 2002 aged 101, is said to have left a significant chunk of her £70million fortune to Harry as she knew he was unlikely to become king and wanted to ensure his financial security.
Royal author Christopher Andersen told Fox News: “Why 40? For a woman who almost lived to 102, you might imagine that 40 seems like the perfect age to earn a little extra money — when you’re young enough to appreciate it but also old enough, and hopefully wise enough, not to squander it.”
According to the Mirror, Harry will receive around £6.61 million.

Meghan Markle told Prince William to ‘get his finger out of my face’
Meghan Markle told Prince William to “get his finger out of my face” during an argument over his treatment of the Princess of Wales.
The row erupted after Harry and Meghan returned from their honeymoon, when the princess confronted the new Duchess of Sussex for saying she had “baby brain”, royal author Rob Jobson claims in his new biography.
He wrote: “Catherine, according to Harry’s memoirs Spareconfronted Meghan about the “baby brain” comment and said, “You mentioned my hormones. We’re not close enough for you to mention my hormones.”
“Meghan was surprised, according to Harry, and said it was because of the way she spoke to her friends.
“William stepped in and apparently pointed the finger at Meghan and called her ‘rude’.
“Meghan stood up to him and said, ‘Get your finger out of my face.’”
The “baby brain” comment was reportedly made by Meghan after Kate forgot a detail about her wedding while she was pregnant with Prince Louis.

King Charles made Prince William sign waiver after row
King Charles has made Prince William sign a waiver accepting the consequences of transporting his family by helicopter, a royal source has claimed.
The monarch and the late Queen Elizabeth have expressed concern over William’s insistence on continuing to take his family on trips together, despite being direct heirs to the throne.
Royal author Rob Jobson wrote in his upcoming biography of the Princess of Wales: “After being diagnosed with cancer, King Charles – perhaps reminded of his own mortality – echoed his late mother’s concerns.
“And when William refused to stop flying with his family, Charles insisted he sign an official document, acknowledging the risks involved and taking full responsibility for his actions.
“It would of course be little consolation for an unspeakable tragedy, let alone the prospect of King Harry and Queen Meghan…”

King Charles used Prince Andrew to send ‘pointed’ message to William
This took place on Christmas Day 2022 and again in 2023 when the Duke of York joined the Royal Family for their traditional walk to Sandringham Church.
Prince Andrew and his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson were also welcomed by the family at Easter.
Royal author Rob Jobson speculated: “Perhaps the king is subliminally trying to show William that forgiving his brother and giving him a second chance is a strength, not a weakness.”
Andrew stepped down as a senior royal in 2019 following his association with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein.

New royal values emphasize ‘value for money’
The move comes during a year that has tested the king’s vision of a slimmed-down monarchy amid ongoing family health problems.
The Royal House has divided its new values into five key objectives: “Act with care”, “Have an impact”, “Succeed together”, “Stay curious” and “Lead by example”.
The Royal Household’s annual report states: “The new reign has provided the Royal Family with an opportunity to define a new expression of its purpose, based on a renewed set of values.”

Harry claims Meghan gets ‘too much attention’
Prince Harry has said his wife Meghan Markle is getting “too much attention” in the UK and that is why he will not bring her back to the country.
After stepping down as senior royals in 2020, Meghan and Harry lost their right to taxpayer-funded security.
He said of the tabloids: “It only takes one lone actor, one person who reads this stuff to act on it. Whether it’s a knife or acid, whatever it is, these are things that really concern me.”
“This is one of the reasons why I will not bring my wife back to this country.”
Meghan last appeared in public in the UK at the funeral of the late Queen Elizabeth in September 2022.

Prince William and Queen Camilla ‘share anxiety and fear’
Queen Camilla’s sister has opened up about the Queen Consort’s relationship with Prince William and said this year has brought them closer than ever.
Annabel Elliot, 75, née Shand like her sister, explained that Camilla, 77, never tried to be a mother to the heir to the throne.
She said: “I would say there is a certain respect between Camilla and William. He sees that his father is happy with a wife who is devoted to him. He shares with Camilla the anxiety and fear of caring for and loving a partner with cancer. It is a major shared equation.”
“This respect was made public at the proclamation ceremony (Accession Council) the day after Elizabeth II’s death. William stood behind Queen Camilla and held out his hand to help her not miss a step.
“Camilla has been a part of William’s life for much longer than he has been with his mother. Camilla has never tried to be a mother to William or Harry, but Charles has made it clear to everyone who matters that his relationship with Camilla is non-negotiable.”

Carole Middleton helped Kate through her grief
“Carole Middleton acted quickly, taking her heartbroken daughter on holiday to Dublin – a welcome respite from the media spotlight,” Jobson wrote.
“William, of course, just got drunk at Mahiki and started yelling that he was ‘free.’
“When Catherine returned, she decided she wasn’t going to sit around moping; what’s good for the goose is good for the goose.”
