Prince Harry took his role as an uncle seriously when Prince Louis was born, presenting him with an extravagant £8,000 christening gift.
However, reports suggest that the Royal Prince might not have had the chance to use it as Meghan Markle allegedly tore it. According to The Sun, Prince Harry's gift to Prince Louis was a first edition copy of Winnie the Pooh, holding poignant ties to his mother, Princess Diana.
The Duke wanted to start a little library of first editions for Louis, Charlotte, and George, drawing inspiration from his happiest childhood memories of being read bedtime stories by Princess Diana. Originally considering Lewis Carroll's "Through The Looking Glass," priced at £24,000, he opted for Winnie the Pooh, a more suitable choice for a first-time reader.
The 1926 A.A. Milne book was purchased from Peter Harrington in London, and royal expert Phil Dampier expressed the sentiment that it was a lovely and precious gift from Harry to his nephew. However, there are claims that Meghan Markle may have damaged the book before Louis had the chance to enjoy it.
Sources close to the Palace staff and Phil Dampier suggest that Megan's reported jealousy of Princess Katherine's children might have fueled her alleged act of deliberately damaging many pages of the expensive book. This incident supposedly occurred during the time when the royal family resided in Kensington Palace.
The revelation comes amid reports that Prince Harry is experiencing constraints in living a life of his choice. Allegedly commanded by his wife Meghan Markle and mother-in-law Doria, Harry is said to be powerless in certain decisions. According to a well-informed royal insider, Harry was compelled to include controversial chapters about senior members of the royal family in his debut memoir, influenced by people he blindly trusts.
While the source did not disclose the identities of those who influenced Harry, it is suggested that mounting pressure is forcing him to consider writing another book. In an interview, Prince Harry hinted at undisclosed events between him, his brother, and father that he wishes to keep private, emphasizing the fear that they might not forgive him if revealed to the world.
