The authors of the book "Finding Freedom," Omid Scobie and Caroline Durand, claimed that Meghan and Harry informed Charles of their decision to confirm their relationship to the media just 20 minutes before announcing it to the world.
At the time, Charles was due to meet the King of Bahrain, and he reportedly feared that Harry and Meghan's announcement would overshadow his "delicate" tour of Bahrain.
The authors further claimed that the team at Clarence House, which had spent months putting together Prince Charles' tour, was "crushed" by the announcement.
In the same book, the authors also claimed that Prince Harry was "poised for an outright war with the media" following the announcement and even cut off some friends for 'gossiping' about Meghan.
