Meghan Markle's biographer has spoke out after The Duchess said Prince Harry had spoken to her about losing his father.
In a new interview with New York magazine The Cut, Meghan said: “Harry said to me, ‘I lost my dad in this process.’
“It doesn’t have to be the same for them as it was for me, but that’s his decision.”
The comments were widely taken to refer to Harry's relationship with Prince Charles. However according to her friend and biographer Omid Scobie, this is not the case.
The royal biographer said: "There seems to be confusion in some headlines about this quote in The Cut interview.
"I understand that Prince Harry is actually referring to Meghan's loss of her own father, and Meghan is saying she doesn't want Harry to lose his.”
Meghan's comment came when a reporter asked about Meghan’s strained relationship with her father Thomas Markle, including the letter she had sent him shortly after the couple tied the knot.
The Royal hasn’t spoken to her father since tying the knot with Harry in 2018.
The ramifications of the quote will likely be far reaching for the royals, as the comments threaten to further deepen the rift between Prince Charles and Prince Harry following their departure as senior Royals and move to the US in 2020.
Following the interview, though, a source close to Prince Charles, 73, has said he would be "saddened" if he lost his relationship with Harry.
Speaking to the Daily Mail, the source said: “The Prince of Wales loves both his sons.”
