MEGHAN and Harry “betrayed the Megxit deal and have caused everlasting damage to the Royals,” Tom Bower has blasted.
Royal biographer Bower said the Sussexes have used their royal titles to get publicity despite saying they just wanted privacy.

Speaking on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show, he said Harry and Meghan have been “treacherous and disloyal”.
Bower said: “They betrayed and ignored the agreement that they settled on.
“Allegedly they were going to California for privacy and to leave the royal family. They’ve done the exact opposite.”
Bower also said the Sussexes aim to “profit from their notoriety” – and the royals should have seen it coming.
He said: “I think Meghan and Harry have had a hugely negative impact on the royal family – the damage has been everlasting.
“The tragedy is that they tried terribly hard to help Meghan. After all, Charles escorted her into the wedding in St. George’s Chapel.
“The Queen assigned over half a dozen people to look after Meghan and help her get into the ways of the royal family.
“But they could never win. We now know in hindsight that Meghan never really intended to stay.
“The guest list for her wedding showed her real ambition was to be a star in California.
“Harry’s friends were excluded from the guest list for the dinner in the evening.”
Bower added: “So we know the agenda was something which the royal family could never really get to grips with.
“That’s why their reaction when the assault came through the Oprah Winfrey and Netflix interviews was lame and self-defeating.
“They should have been far more aggressive in their response to assert their own credibility.
“After that came the publication of Harry’s autobiography Spare, which peddled even more lies and trouble.
“It was a worldwide bestseller, because the world was fascinated that two royals could be so treacherous and disloyal.
“They’d never had that in their lifetimes before. There’s waning interest in them now.
“People are beginning to see the truths which I exposed two or three years ago in my book Revenge.
“The truth is that they are narcissistic and intent on self-glorification to profit from their notoriety.”
Bower said: “At the time, no one wanted to believe it could be that bad.”
The royal biographer also branded Prince Andrew’s last public outing a “catastrophic mistake”.
In February this year, the Duke of York was among a number of royals who attended St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle for the Thanksgiving service held in honour of Greece’s late King Constantine.
Andrew was seen beaming as he led the way in a rare public appearance as mourners arrived for the service.
Queen Camilla arrived separately meaning that the Duke of York stepped forward to usher in more minor royals including Princess Anne, her daughter Zara and husband Mike Tindall.
His ex-wife Sarah Ferguson was by his side as they marched into St George’s Chapel.
Bower said: “Andrew should be invisible. I blame the King for not being more authoritarian.
“Charles should have ordered Prince Andrew to stay out of public view.”
“That memorial service front row was catastrophic mistake – Andrew pushed himself to the front.”
