Prince Harry is “totally whipped” by his wife, Meghan Markle and even his father, King Charles, knows it, a royal expert has claimed. The Duchess of Sussex has been involved in a fresh set of claims about her time within the Royal Family.
Recently, author Sally Bedell Smith published a new post on her Substack newsletter which contained several bombshell claims made about the late Queen Elizabeth and her close confidante Lady Elizabeth Anson, including how she reportedly thought Meghan was “nothing but trouble” when she came into the Royal Family and that the monarch was “not at all content” before the Sussex wedding in 2018. Now, royal commentator Esther Krauke, commenting on these claims, and alleged that the Duchess would most likely dislike her “reduced status” after realising Harry was a millionaire instead of a billionaire.
She told the Sun: “We know that King Charles said something about him being whipped. We keep hearing things consistently coming out from courtiers and people that are close to the Royal Family. The Queen’s opinion of Meghan involved, and it’s much like how the country’s opinion evolved. I think where things went wrong was clearly the cultural clash. I think in some ways Meghan thought she was marrying a billionaire, but was marrying a millionaire with like sort of a reduced status.”
Prince Harry tricked Queen with hilarious voicemail on her first phone
The Duke of Sussex reportedly played the funny trick on his grandmother.

Prince Harry was quite the royal rascal in his younger days, often seen poking his tongue out at photographers or playfully silencing his cousins during public appearances on the Buckingham Palace balcony. His mischievous nature charmed the public for years as he grew up exploring the vast grounds of Kensington Palace and Highgrove House in Gloucestershire.
Taking after his mother’s playful spirit, Prince Harry loved to pull pranks on his family members, including his beloved late grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. Their special bond is legendary, with numerous tales of Harry’s prankster antics towards the monarch making royal headlines.
From gifting the Queen a shower cap emblazoned with “Ain’t life a b****” to framing the royal corgis with fake poo, Prince Harry’s practical jokes are well-know – but one story stands out as particularly cheeky.

Like many of her era, the late Queen needed a bit of tech support from her grandkids when grappling with her first mobile phone, which was a highly secure ‘anti-hacker encrypted’ device she used to communicate with just two people.

Yet, this didn’t deter Prince Harry from seizing an opportunity for mischief, reportedly setting up a rather cheeky voicemail greeting on Her Majesty’s phone when she least expected it.
In a cheeky anecdote from Bryan Kozlowski’s book Long Live the Queen! 13 Rules for Living from Britain’s Longest Reigning Monarch, it turns out Prince Harry once had a bit of fun with his grandmothers voicemail.

Bryan reveals: “Prankster Prince Harry reportedly used the opportunity to record the following voice mail message on his grandmother’s cell: ‘Hey, wassup? This is Liz! Sorry I’m away from the throne. For a hotline to Philip, press one; for Charles, press two; for the corgis, press three.'”
While this story is undoubtedly hilarious, there is another account about Harry that tops all the others as it explains the time Harry escaped the confines of Kensington Palace and found his way to Kensington High Street before he was found.
The story of Prince Harry’s unbelievable escape from the secure palace was revealed by the family’s former protection officer Ken Wharfe.

Ken, a former member of SO14, said Harry used to come to him dressed in military fatigues and ask for missions. He explained how he lent the young royal a two-way radio and set him a task.
But it would seem Harry took Ken’s mission quite literally – as any young daredevil would. The prince took it upon himself to escape from Kensington Palace to Kensington High Street on his own without telling anyone.
He then used the radio to call Wharfe to inform him “mission accomplished”. Ken said his feet “didn’t touch the ground” as he rushed to find the mischievous young royal after realising where he was.
