In the book, Harry claims that after the birth of Archie, he had a long tea with the late Queen and he says she was appalled by the abuse that his new family were receiving. He claims she vowed to send Sir Edward to speak to them - and he sat down to hear a detailed presentation from the couple at Frogmore Cottage. Harry writes in the book: "The Bee was oval-faced and fuzzy and tended to glide around with great equanimity and poise as if he was a boon to all living things. He was so poised that people didn't fear him. Big mistake. Sometimes their last mistake." The book says the aide took meticulous notes and claimed the deluge of hate and lies was unprecedented in British history and promised to discuss the matter with the appropriate people and deliver solutions. But Harry alleges they never heard from him again. Elsewhere in the book, Harry also says Sir Edward tried to prevent him from seeing his late grandmother shortly before he and Meghan quit as working royals and blamed){kind=link}
