This summit was just for show?” Sir Edward Young worked as the Queen’s private secretary The Duke writes that the royal courtiers reassured him there were drafted statements for all five potential outcomes. “I chose option three in the meeting; half in, half out.” He said this meant he and his wife Meghan would “have our own jobs but also work in support of the Queen”, adding: “It became clear very quickly that that goal was not up for discussion or debate.” Elsewhere in Spare, Harry claims that Prince William physically attacked him, reveals the moment he learnt of his mother’s death and admits to illegal drug use.
