Prince Harry’s Lavish Gift to Prince Louis Reportedly Destroyed by Meghan Markle

Prince Harry showed his dedication to his role as an uncle when he generously gifted Prince Louis with an £8,000 christening present.

However, it appears that the young royal may not have had the opportunity to enjoy it, as Meghan Markle allegedly damaged the gift.

The Sun revealed that Prince Harry purchased a first edition copy of Winnie the Pooh for Prince Louis, a book that held sentimental value as it was connected to his late mother, Princess Diana.

According to a friend, Harry cherished the memories of his mother reading bedtime stories to him during his childhood.

Inspired by her love for classic literature, Harry decided to start a collection of first edition books for Louis, Charlotte, and George to appreciate as they grew older.

Initially considering Lewis Carroll's “Through the Looking Glass,” priced at £24,000, Prince Harry opted for Winnie the Pooh as a more fitting choice for a first-time gift.

While William favored “Robinson Crusoe,” Harry's preference leaned towards A.

A. Milne's works.

The Duke of Sussex reportedly acquired the 1926 A.

A. Milne book, one of 30,000 copies from the first print run, from Peter Harrington in London.

Royal expert Phil Dampierre commended Harry's thoughtful gesture in gifting the precious book to Louis, expressing disappointment over the alleged damage caused by Meghan Markle before Louis could enjoy it.

Sources close to the palace staff disclosed that Meghan's actions were driven by jealousy towards Princess Catherine's children, with instances of her reportedly mistreating Charlotte and causing distress to Kate.

The source described Meghan's deliberate act of damaging the valuable book as cruel, considering the sentimental value attached to the gift from Harry.

The incident took place while the family resided in Kensington Palace, before Prince Harry and Meghan Markle moved to Nottingham Cottage following their wedding in 2018, situated within the grounds of Kensington Palace, also home to Prince William, Kate, and their children.

Recent reports suggest that Prince Harry may be facing challenges in asserting his independence, allegedly influenced by Meghan Markle and her mother, Doria.

A royal insider disclosed that pressure from trusted individuals led Harry to include controversial chapters about senior royal family members in his memoir, “Spare.”

The source hinted at Harry's struggle to resist further demands for another book, following the release of his previous work in January last year, which revealed personal details, including a physical altercation with Prince William at Kensington Palace.

In subsequent interviews, Harry admitted to withholding certain anecdotes involving his father and brother, fearing irreparable damage to their relationships if disclosed.

Amid financial uncertainties post his departure from royal duties in 2020, Harry expressed reluctance in sharing certain experiences publicly, particularly those involving his family members.

The ongoing dilemma has prompted speculation about potential decisions Harry may make to address the crisis, as he navigates the complexities of his personal and public life.
