Nile Gardiner has spoken out about alleged “divisions in camp Harry and Meghan” as the pair face a dip in popularity following the release of Spare. The former aide to Margaret Thatcher appeared on GB News, where he slammed Prince Harry‘s “vicious” attack on the Royal Family.
He added that the publicity surrounding the book and its contents had “spectacularly backfired” on the couple as they had “underestimated” the public’s response.
He said: “My view is that Harry’s hatchet job attack on the Royal Family has been a really vicious piece of work, actually, and it has spectacularly backfired on both Harry and Meghan.
“I think the British public have turned Harry really into a pariah as a result of this very nasty book.
“Also in the United States as well the popularity of Harry and Meghan has fallen significantly and I do think that Harry and Meghan definitely underestimated the level of backlash there was going to be against Spare.
Host Dan Wootton then questioned whether the Duchess could now be starting to “distance herself” from her husband’s antics in an attempt to maintain her own image.
Mr Gardiner added: “I do think we are beginning to see divisions in camp Harry and Meghan, because this book has been absolutely disastrous I think for their standing and their image.
