A bombshell report has surfaced, revealing heartbreaking claims about Prince Harry’s actions towards Queen Elizabeth II in her final years—claims that insiders say left the late monarch deeply wounded.
Publicly, Queen Elizabeth remained famously reserved, her expressions unreadable, her thoughts guarded. But behind palace walls, those close to her are now speaking out, painting a far more emotional portrait—especially regarding her grandson Harry and his wife Meghan Markle.
According to a new report by The Daily Beast’s Tom Sykes, in her declining years—when the Queen “could hardly see, stand or move”—she felt “utterly devastated” by Harry. The root of that anguish, insiders say, was the Sussexes’ explosive 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, aired while Prince Philip, her husband of 73 years, was dying.

Though the Queen responded publicly with the now-iconic phrase “recollections may vary,” royal aides now claim her private reaction was one of betrayal.
“Ultimately, the Queen felt betrayed by Harry,” one former courtier told Sykes. “When he and Meghan attacked the institution she spent her whole life serving, that betrayal was complete. It was absolutely shocking to those of us who knew him.”
The same source added that what hurt most were the Sussexes’ insinuations of racism. “To accuse an unidentified person within the family of racism… was unforgivable in her eyes.”
(Prince Harry would later clarify that they had not accused his family of racism, but of “unconscious bias.”)
“There was a horrific series of betrayals at the end of her life,” the courtier said. “Things were never the same after that.”
