MEGHAN Markle dumped the Royal Family and her friends – and Prince Harry could be next for the chop, a royal expert has claimed.

The Duchess of Sussex, 43, raised eyebrows earlier this month as she made two solo public appearances without Harry.

Since getting married to Harry in 2018, Meghan has fallen out with a number of people including her family, her in-laws and her best friend Jessica Mulroney.

There are also rumours of tension with tennis star Serena Williams, while Sophie Trudeau has reportedly “distanced herself” from Meg.

It comes as royal experts have previously suggested Meghan and Harry are living “increasingly live “separate lives”.

Now Hugo Vickers has spoken out about the future of the Duke and Duchess.

The royal biographer and broadcaster revealed he is worried how Meghan’s behaviour over the years was a pattern which could see Harry suffer.

The 72-year-old exclusively told The Sun: “People usually act in character, and they usually act on form.

“I hate to say it but her form is that she dumped her father, she dumped her first husband, she dumped her Canadian chef lover.

“She dumped Jessica Mulroney. She then dumped the dumped the entire British Royal family.

“So who is going to be next for the chop? I think inevitably, probably Prince Harry, and there’ll come a time when she’ll think that she doesn’t need him.”

Hugo added that although it hasn’t happened yet, Harry will eventually be painted as the person “in the wrong”.

He said: “I don’t know when she might make that particular call and it’s not for me to speculate, but you know she will probably somehow put him in the wrong, so that she can say that she’s a wronged woman, and he’s just behaved like all the others.

“I mean I don’t think she ever admits that she is wrong about anything, but I feel very sorry for Prince Harry, because I think he’s in a very difficult place at the moment.

“I think he has been for some time. I don’t think that her projects have done Harry any good.”

Hugo says that when the Duke has gone off on his own and got involved with initiatives close to his heart like the Invictus Games, he has been more successful.

The royal biographer added: “The Invictus games wasn’t entirely his initiative, but he certainly was the one who made it famous and popular, and he’s done an incredibly good job with it.

“What’s strange about that is that the message, as far as I can read of Invictus, is, you are not a victim, you are able to get on with life, and are able to make wonderful contributions, and he gets people going again.

“And yet what has he done to himself, or what’s he allowed to happen to himself?

“He’s turned himself into a victim, I mean, he’s always complaining about everything and how everybody’s against him, and you know there’s interviews; Oprah, Winfrey Netflix, the book Spare.

“It’s all a litany of ‘poor little me’ complaints, which is terrible.”

Hugo believes that if Meghan had not come along it “wouldn’t have happened” but also concedes Harry was complicit in it.

He added: “My reading of it is, she detected that he was uncomfortable about certain things, and in a way he she exploited that and fed on it to the point that he definitely went willingly.”

It comes as Tina Brown claimed in a podcast that Harry was being led like a “lamb to the slaughter” who “follows Meghan Markle like a child”.

During the chat, Tina also criticised Meghan’s judgement, and said: “She has all these people, asks them their opinion, and then doesn’t follow it”.

Tina has not held back talking about the Sussexes over the years, famously describing the couple’s “Megxit” and leaving the royal family as a “disaster”.

It comes as a source close to the couple said a “twin-track approach is evolving” in response to their alleged “professional separation”.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry 'are living separate lives'

By Jon Rogers and Summer Raemason

MEGHAN Markle and Prince Harry are ‘going their own ways’ as they increasingly live ‘separate lives’, royal experts told The Sun.

Speaking on our first ever Royal Exclusive Live show, Arthur Edwards and Jennie Bond lifted the lid on the power couple’s recent time apart.

Sun legend Arthur revealed how the pair are ‘doing things separately now’ after failing to be spotted together in three weeks.

Meanwhile Ms Bond, a royal correspondent for the last 35 years, also revealed: “Meghan is not popular. She doesn’t want to come back and they are going their own ways, to some extent”.

The pair spoke on our first Royal Exclusive Live show, which you can watch on our YouTube channel.

The event was hosted on Friday night in front of a live audience of more than 100 special guests.

Mr Edwards said: “I don’t think she [Meghan] can come here much.

“I don’t think people think too much of her.

“I think she’s struggling in popularity in the UK and I think they seem to be doing things separately now. She’s got her programme and he’s got his.

Mr Edwards added: “He comes into Britain now with no fuss.

“He’s come for the Invictus Games, in and out with no fuss, he came for his uncle’s funeral, no fuss.”

Royal commentator Jennie Bond said: “The point is he doesn’t want to come back [into the Royal Family in the UK], I think.

“He regarded it as a trap. He still thinks his father and his brother are trapped and he’s finding his own way.

“All credit to him.

“I think Meghan has her own independent style and way of life.

“Yes, it’s not in tune with the people in the UK.

“She’s not popular and I don’t think she wants to come back and therefore they are going their own ways, to an extent.

“But I hope and believe that Harry is very happy in his life.”

Prince Harry is said to have had a “three-week break”, which included a solo trip to Lesotho in Africa in honour of his charity, Sentebale.

Harry also attended a string of events in New York unaccompanied by his wife, and also did a surprise TV stint and tour of a haunted maze on the Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.

It follows the revelations that Harry celebrated the night of his milestone 40th birthday without Meghan in September.

The duke went on a hiking trip with pals to celebrate his big day, leaving his wife and their kids at home.

Sources close to the couple insist it was Meghan who organised the lads’ trip.

However, a Sussex confidante addressed rumours, insisting: “It is normal for couples to not do everything together.”

'Moaning' Meghan Markle has 'lost nearly all her allies'

By Summer Raemason

“MOANING” Meghan Markle has “upset everybody and lost almost all her allies including me,” a royal expert has said.

Broadcaster and royal biographer Hugo Vickers, 72, has taken a swipe at the Duchess of Sussex, 43, adding that it “can’t be a coincidence” that the royal has managed to lose so many supporters.

In particular, Mr Vickers singled out the former Vanity Fair editor Tina Brown as someone Meghan had upset.

Ms Brown took part in an episode of The Ankler podcast where she took aim at the Duchess, saying Meghan had “the worst judgement of anyone in the entire world” and that Megxit had been “a disaster”.

Mr Vickers told The Sun Online: “Megan does seem to have a capacity for losing friends and allies all around the place and Tina Brown, of course, is a very intelligent observer of the scene, and she’s been doing it for a very long time.

“For what it’s worth, Meghan lost me as an ally, too, because when she first joined the Royal Family, the line I was taking was she’s the first member to have addressed the United Nations.

“There was so much that she could do, but she gradually managed to upset everybody, including Tina Brown, and that can’t be a coincidence.”

He also explained how he had “lost confidence” in the former Suits actress with the birth of her son Archie.

Mr Vickers said: “The way I lost confidence when there was all that ridiculous nonsense about when Archie was born, and she wouldn’t tell us.

“She was the first woman I’ve ever heard of who’s given birth and subsequently gone into labour later on.

“That doesn’t normally seem to happen, that seems to be rather strange, and then she wouldn’t tell us who the godparents were, and all these small things, you know, are really tiresome.”

Mr Vickers also revealed that while Meghan’s profile was given an enormous boost by marrying Prince Harry he thought she “wasn’t particularly committed” to being part of the Royal Family.

He said: “It does seem to me that she wasn’t particularly committed to being a member of the Royal Family.

“By marrying Prince Harry, her profile went up globally, enormously, and so people wanted to hear more about her, and to some extent more from her.

“There was some quite worrying things quite early on when the four of them were on the platform together and she was saying, ‘we’ve got to hit the road running’.

“In other words let’s get on with me using my new role to promote what I’m interested in.”

He added: “I think she probably misunderstood quite a lot of things to be quite honest about what it meant to be a member of the Royal Family, which is a life of complete service and devotion.

“They work extremely hard, but they’re working for us, not for themselves.”

Mr Vickers believes that Meghan quickly realised her status was that of being Harry’s wife and she wanted to capitalise on that but it wasn’t going that well.

Mr Vickers added: “I never thought she would stay forever to be honest.

“But I didn’t think that she would go with Prince Harry while the Queen was alive, because actually that caused the Queen an enormous amount of distress and anxiety at the end of her life.

“I don’t think she has good judgement.

“I think she had a plan, and now it may take a little while longer for us to know whether her eventual plan works out for her.”
