Royal author Tom Bauer claims Meghan Markle had big dreams of becoming Queen ahead of Kate Middleton. Even with Prince Harry sitting fifth in line to the throne, Bauer says Meghan believes she deserved the top spot after King Charles III. Bauer told a podcast that Meghan saw herself as better-looking, smarter, and more hardworking than Kate. He adds a courtier warned Queen Elizabeth II that Meghan thought marrying into the family made her basically divine, which explained why she never plans to stick around long-term. The Sussex camp hid back hard through reps, saying Bauer's takes have gone from criticism to outright obsession. Royal watcher Ginny Bond points out its rare for Harry and Meghan to clap back a gossip like this. Bond says the book struck a deep nerve, sparking a quick and fierce defense from Harry, who always stands by his wife no matter what. This kind of spotlight risks tearing open scars from their rocky royal days.
