A bombshell new tell-all biography has just revealed that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle felt snubbed by Queen Elizabeth during her Christmas speech.

In an excerpt from the new book “Finding Freedom” that was obtained by the The Times of London, it’s claimed that Harry and Meghan felt like they were “noticeably absent” from the family photos surrounding the Queen during her address that she gave at Buckingham Palace. The couple reportedly saw this as proof they were being pushed out of the royal family.

In the book, authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand alleged that Harry and Meghan were already feeling that they had “long been sidelined by the institution” of the monarchy. They reportedly saw the lack of photos of them during the speech as proof that they were “not a fundamental part of its future.”

“For Harry and Meghan, it had been yet another sign that they needed to consider their own path,” Scobie and Durand wrote.

Just weeks after the Queen’s speech, Harry and Meghan shocked the world by stepping down as senior members of the British royal family. They have since moved to Meghan’s hometown of Los Angeles, California, seemingly distancing themselves from the royal family as much as possible.

This comes after it was reported that the royal family is in panic mode over this new tell-all book. Palace sources told Daily Mail that the book will reveal everything about the “pressure cooker” of anger and resentment that Harry and Meghan have built up over time.

“Regardless of the truth, it will make headlines worldwide and give a fulsome airing to the Sussexes’ long list of grievances, yet again,” one source said.

Another insider warned that everyone should expect the book to tell of a “revisionist version of events surrounding their engagement, marriage and their short time as a senior royal couple.”

“It’s going to be the gospel according to Meghan and Harry, so to speak,” this source said. “Everything that has happened in terms of Megxit will be seen through the prism of their take on events. What it’s unlikely to reveal, however, is how it subsequently emerged that Harry and Meghan had been quietly plotting their ‘exit’ from the Royal Family for at least nine months before they finally announced their decision to quit in January this year.”
