Despite a momentary truce at the late Prince Philip’s funeral between Prince Harry and his family last month, the bad blood continues to simmer.
WATCH: Karl Stefanovic takes aim at Meghan Markle after children’s book news
Harry and his wife Meghan Markle are attempting to forge their own life independent from the Queen in the USA with former actress Meghan this week announcing her latest venture – a children’s book.
The Bench, which is Meghan’s first attempt at being an author of a book for kids, features a story of a father-son relationship reportedly inspired by her husband Harry’s relationship with their two-year-old son Archie.
But could the controversial couple also be using the book to send a message to the royal family and cause further tension?
According to royal expert Phil Dampier, the fact that the fictional father in the book was given a military uniform could be deliberate swipe from Meghan and Harry towards the palace.
“Meghan is probably showing how much the Army meant to Harry and how upset he is to lose his military titles,” Dampier told The Sun.
“For Harry, who put his life on the line and then founded the highly successful Invictus Games for injured servicemen and women, losing the titles was the bitterest part of ‘Megxit.’”
In the wake of Megxit, when Harry and Meghan stepped away from their royal duties in the UK, the Queen ultimately opted to strip her grandson of all his military titles.
More than a year after the couple’s official exit, Meghan, who is pregnant with the couple’s second child, announced she was releasing the children’s book.
“The Bench started as a poem I wrote for my husband on Father’s Day, the month after Archie was born,” the Duchess of Sussex said in a statement.
“That poem became this story.”
