MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry are deplorable and were nasty about the royals just to cash in, an expert has blasted.
Speaking at our first ever Royal Exclusive Live show, veteran royal correspondent Jennie Bond said Harry was “a very silly boy”.

She slammed Harry’s decision to attack his dad Prince Charles and brother Prince William in his memoir Spare.
Jennie said: “It was deplorable and stupid – I think he was a very silly boy to write Spare.”
The royal expert was joined at the live event by longtime Sun royal snapper Arthur Edwards.
Arthur said: “He wanted to to leave the royal family and he wanted to live in America with Meghan – that’s his choice.
“But then to go and start being really nasty about the royal family just to make money…
“When Edward VIII abdicated and became the Duke of Windsor he went abroad too.
“But he never, ever said anything about the royal family – he might have met Hitler but he didn’t say a bit about the royal family.”
The Sussexes have been contacted for comment.
The pair spoke on our first Royal Exclusive Live show, which you can watch in the player above and on our YouTube channel.
The event was hosted on Friday in front of a live audience of more than 100 special guests.
This comes after it was revealed Harry spent the night of his milestone 40th birthday without Meghan as rumours continue to swirl.
The duke went on a hiking trip with pals to celebrate his big day – and failed to mention his wife, 43, in his birthday thanks message.
Although sources close to the couple insist it was Meghan who organised the lads’ trip, experts warned it could be a key sign things are not so rosy.
Their separate plans, followed by Harry’s solo trips across the past few weeks, has sparked speculation surrounding their relationship.
It was also reported Meghan ditched a charity event at the last minute in Santa Barbara, California, with her husband because she was “sick”.
And, sources claim, for periods earlier this year, she was rarely staying at their luxury Montecito pad.
Meanwhile, Harry was said to be “moping around” on his own at a local cafe.
Previous claims last year that Meghan and Harry spent extended spells apart were denied by those close to the couple.
It was said that, like any other couple, they have disagreements but remained strong.
TRIPPING UP
It comes as Harry beamed from ear to ear in photos taken on his latest trip to his beloved Africa.
But missing from the snaps of the duke with children and long-time friends at his charity Sentebale in Lesotho was his wife.
The Duchess of Sussex previously accompanied him to the continent, including in May this year.
In fact the couple have travelled together on two major overseas engagements this year.
But this prompted a source close to Harry and Meghan to address the speculation.
The Sussexes’ confidante insisted: “It is normal for couples to not do everything together.”
The duke attended at a string of events in New York unaccompanied by his wife.
He appeared on his own at an event for the Halo Trust – a landmine charity which was close to Di’s heart.
MORE TAKEAWAYS FROM THE SHOW
MEGHAN Markle was also branded a 'diva' on the show, while Prince Harry was dubbed 'deplorable' for his book Spare.
Jennie Bond blasted: “He was a very silly boy to write Spare, it was deplorable and stupid. He’s done the blood letting, now we want to move on.”
Meanwhile the pair said Meghan couldn’t hack royal life in the same way Princess Kate can – and revealed she was ‘difficult’ with the media.
Sun legend Arthur also regaled memories of his royal tours with Charles and Diana – and implied Harry and Meghan may be putting on a show like they did before their marriage crumbled.
During the hour-long event, the royal experts also discussed the future of a slimmed-down monarchy, shared tales of behind-the-scenes encounters with key royals and opened up about Kate and Charles’ cancer battles.

Harry was also pictured without Meg during a high-level dinner organised by the World Health Organization (WHO) in the Big Apple on Sunday.
Their separate appearances also included his surprise TV stint and tour of a haunted maze on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
And the dad-of-two was snapped outside and spent an hour inside a tattoo shop in Manhattan.
On Monday he jetted to the UK capital on his lonesome and did not see his father the King, or have any contact with his brother, Prince William.
Instead his time was taken up by honouring seriously ill youngsters at the WellChild Awards in London’s Royal Lancaster Hotel.
One of those attending said: “He looked like the old Harry we knew and loved.
“He always came alive at events like this, but lately he has seemed quite glum.
“He was on good form, full of energy and seemed quite happy to be on his own.”
WILTING ORCHARD
Meanwhile, Meghan’s personal projects have also swirled in drama, from her promise of a cooking show about friendship to her brand American Orchard Riviera.
The lifestyle company suffered a fresh blow earlier this month.
Since announcing the project, the former Suits actress is yet to roll out anything other than jams and dog biscuits – products that have only been gifted to her A-lister pals so far.
Meghan has also faced multiple hurdles in her launch, including ‘struggling’ to secure a CEO, her team filling in the official forms incorrectly, and failing to send enough cash.
These issues came in addition to a bitter dispute over exclusive rights to the name American Riviera Orchard.
However, as a couple, the Duke and Duchess have put on a united front amid the roll out of their latest charity initiative – The Parents Network.
It aims to support families who have lost their children to online harm.
Tobias Kormind, managing director of 77 Diamonds, told The Sun: “Meghan’s minimalist jewellery choices complement her sleek red dress.
“More than ever, she uses the simplicity of her jewellery to accentuate and elevate her natural beauty.
“Her gold bangle stands out in the photos as the definition of her quiet elegance at the event.
“The most significant jewel in Meghan’s outfit, though, is her gorgeous engagement ring with a central stone acquired by Harry from Botswana and flanked by two smaller diamonds from Princess Diana’s collection.”
Prince Harry’s tattoo shop visit without Meghan is major hint couple could have separate plans for future, warns expert
By Summer Raemason
PRINCE Harry’s tattoo shop visit and upcoming solo trip without Meghan is a major hint the couple could have separate future plans, claimed an expert.
The Duke of Sussex, 40, was spotted at a tattoo parlour in the Lower East Side of Manhattan and stayed for over an hour yesterday.
It was also revealed Harry will be jetting to Lesotho and South Africa early next month without Meghan Markle.
This comes after the duke attended at a string of events in New York unaccompanied by his wife, who stayed behind in Montecito, California.
Their separate appearances, including Harry’s surprise TV stint and tour of a haunted maze on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, has sparked rampant speculation regarding their future together.
Royal expert Hugo Vickers hailed the upcoming Lesotho and South Africa trips.
He told The Sun: “I rather commend what he’s doing with this, because this is more outgoing.
“It’s like when he does things with the Invictus Games and things like that.
“But there seems to be a pattern forming, even in these last few days, that he is going out on his own and doing things.”
The expert suggested there could be multiple reasons for the divide.
“One could be that, you know. He does indeed wish to establish himself more as the old Harry,” he said.
“It could be quite simply that Meghan Markle has responsibilities with her young children, and therefore feels she has to stay at home with them.
But he added: “There is a separation of, you know, of their different engagements, and that he’s going to be going more solo, in which case watch this space.”
Meghan and Harry have put on a largely inseparable front since quitting the UK and moving to the States in 2020.
But Mr Vickers warned the duke may have grown tired of Meg’s presence – and the negativity it attracts.
“It always seems to me that when she’s around she’s dictating the narrative, and that he kind of is very compliant and just goes along,” he said.
“A lot of the things that he says publicly I have always suspected are dictated by her. So I do wonder a little bit whether he isn’t trying to establish himself more in his own right.”
However, the expert hinted Meghan could still be behind everything.
He said: “It could be that she commends this idea because it gives him more of a a profile and sort of ups his game, and therefore, when they go out together in public, they’re more valuable.”
On the future of Harry and Meghan’s relationship, Mr Vickers added “personally think it’s quite likely to not end too well for [Harry]”.
Regarding rumours swirling their marriage, the expert suggested they may stay together – to preserve their image.
“It is possible that they need to keep stay together to keep their brand,” he said.
