According to a new book, royal workers allegedly gave Prince Harry a pejorative moniker that compared him to a clueless character from the BBC comedy series Blackadder.
Yes, Ma'am: The Secret Life of Royal Servants by Tom Quinn, due out later this month, makes the bombshell accusation based on an anonymous conversation with an insider who worked for the Duke of Sussex.
"I remember once in his private apartments I'd muddled something - some of his papers on his desk or something," they claimed in an excerpt published by the Daily Mail.
"He was immediately angry and it was out of proportion to the problem, or at least I thought it was," according to the Daily Mirror.
The insider stated that other employees had "experienced similar incidents" and joked about Harry's attitude.
"We thought it was a bit rich complaining about me being muddled given Harry was probably the most muddled of all the royals of his generation," a source told me.
"The joke used to be that Harry was quite similar to the Prince Regent from Blackadder. People used to joke that without a servant, Harry would take two weeks to put on his trousers.
According to a new book, Meghan thought that Nottingham Cottage, her and Prince Harry's first residence, was too tiny and showed the Royal Family's disregard for her husband. However, royal officials maintain that the family does not emphasize material items because they have always had them.
Quinn stated, "A very nice residence in the grounds of a famous palace hardly appeared to Harry the equal of being compelled to live in a shed at the end of the yard. But for Meghan, things were more complicated. She noticed Kate and William living just a few yards away at Kensington Palace, with teams of live-in staff.
"She also undoubtedly felt constrained by protocol." Meghan, quite rightly, despised the fact that when she was in Nottingham Cottage, she had to agree well in advance what time she might leave for an appointment or an event, and she had to ensure she didn't leave at the same time as, or clash in any way with, a more senior royal leaving the palace," a former Kensington Palace staffer said.
Before Archie was born, Harry and Meghan relocated from Nottingham Cottage to Frogmore Cottage, a wedding present from the late Queen.
However, Meghan allegedly voiced discontent with their new residence, urging that the Queen consider it "inappropriate."
