Queen Elizabeth's Aide Allegedly Predicted Harry, Meghan's Marriage Will 'End In Tears,' Book Claims

A longtime aide of Queen Elizabeth allegedly didn't see a happy ending for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's marriage, a new biography on the British royal family has claimed.

In his newly released book "Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the war between the Windsors," British journalist Tom Bower claimed that Lady Susan Hussey allegedly predicted that Prince Harry's marriage to Markle will "all end in tears," according to an excerpt from the biography published by The Telegraph.

According to the book — which was released Thursday and was reportedly written without the cooperation of Markle — Hussey, who has been a lady-in-waiting to Queen Elizabeth II since the 1960s, allegedly made the comments during a lunch with theater executives months before Prince Harry and Markle tied the knot in May 2018.

"While discussing the possibility that Meghan might become linked with the National Theatre after the wedding, Hussey became unexpectedly serious about the couple’s future," Bower claimed in the book. "'That will all end in tears,' she is alleged to have said. 'Mark my words.'"

Hussey, 83, was part of the team of palace courtiers asked to help Markle adjust to life inside the royal family, according to Bower.

She was said to have visited Markle at Nottingham Cottage, the home the former actress shared with Prince Harry on the grounds of Kensington Palace, to offer help and advice, the book claimed.

Bower did not provide a source for the comments. International Business Times could not independently verify the claims.

Bower is a former reporter for the BBC and an award-winning producer of over 200 television documentaries. The British writer is known for his unauthorized biographies of the royals and notable figures in the business and media world, including Prince Charles Robert Maxwell, Mohamed Al-Fayed, Conrad Black and Richard Branson.

Markle's estranged half-sister Samantha Markle previously made similar comments about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's marriage after the royal couple's bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in March last year.

"I see [the marriage] ending in divorce unless they get extensive counseling and can agree to work on being honest, to work on apologies to everyone that they've damaged in the course of this bull-in-a-china-shop two-year-spiel," Samantha said in a videotaped interview shared by TMZ. "I mean nothing. Nothing about any of this has been on it, and the damage to the royals has been massive, especially now."

However, celebrity psychic Sally Morgan, a close pal of Princess Diana when she was alive, said she believed the Sussexes' marriage was meant to last.

"I see for [Meghan], she's got great love in her marriage with him," Morgan said during an appearance on "The Morning Show" last year, weeks after Prince Harry and Markle's third wedding anniversary. "I know lots of predictions say it won't last, but I think their marriage will last."

Since tying the knot in 2018, Markle and Prince Harry have welcomed two children: son Archie, 3, and daughter Lilibet, 1. The couple celebrated their fourth wedding anniversary in May in Montecito, California.

Earlier this week, Prince Harry and Markle stepped out for a dinner date in New York City. Photos from the Monday outing showed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex smiling as they left the Italian restaurant Locanda Verde together hand-in-hand.

They were in the city for the United Nations General Assembly to mark Nelson Mandela Day, where the duke gave a special address in honor of the late South African leader.
