Prince Harry, known for his doting uncle duties, gifted a lavish £8,000 christening present to his nephew, Prince Louis.

However, it seems unlikely that the young royal has had the opportunity to enjoy it, as reports suggest that Meghan Markle tore it apart.

The Sun revealed that Prince Harry had purchased a first edition copy of Winnie the Pooh for Prince Louis, a book that held significant sentimental value for him and his late mother, Princess Diana.

According to a friend close to Prince Harry, one of his fondest childhood memories was his mother reading him bedtime stories.

Princess Diana had a deep appreciation for classic literature, and Prince Harry had the brilliant idea of starting a little library of first editions for Prince Louis, Princess Charlotte, and Prince George to cherish as they grow older.

While initially considering Lewis Carroll’s “Through the Looking Glass,” which was priced at £24,000, Prince Harry ultimately decided that Winnie the Pooh would be more fitting for a first-time gift.

Although Robinson Crusoe was Prince William’s favorite book, Prince Harry himself adored all things A.

A. Milne.

It is understood that the Duke of Sussex purchased the 1926 first edition of A.

A. Milne’s book, with a first print run of 30,000 copies, from Peter Harrington in London.

Royal expert Phil Dampierre expressed his admiration for Prince Harry’s thoughtful gesture, stating that it was lovely for him to give such a precious book to Prince Louis.

However, Dampierre speculated that Meghan Markle may have damaged the book before Prince Louis had the chance to read it.

A source close to the palace staff, who is familiar with Dampierre’s views, revealed that Prince Louis was born a month before Meghan and Harry’s wedding.

The source claimed that Meghan has always harbored jealousy towards Princess Catherine’s children, even going as far as bullying Princess Charlotte at a wedding and causing Kate to shed tears shortly after Prince Louis’ christening.

The source further alleged that Meghan intentionally damaged numerous pages of the expensive book, which held great sentimental value for Prince Louis.

It is believed that Meghan somehow managed to sneak into the Welles’ room at Kensington Palace, where they were all residing at the time.

Following their wedding in 2018, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle moved into Nottingham Cottage, located within the grounds of Kensington Palace, which also serves as the official London residence for Prince William, Kate, and their children.

These revelations come amid reports that Prince Harry feels powerless in living a life of his own choosing and has allegedly been influenced by Meghan Markle and her mother, Doria.

A well-informed royal insider claimed that the Duke was compelled to include controversial chapters about senior members of the royal family in his debut memoir, “Spare,” by individuals he blindly trusts.

Although the source did not disclose the identities of those influencing Prince Harry, they revealed that the mounting pressure to write another book has left the Duke in deep trouble.

Prince Harry’s memoir, published in January of last year, included personal moments from his royal life, including details of a physical altercation between himself and Prince William at Kensington Palace.

In an interview following the book’s release, Prince Harry admitted to omitting certain anecdotes about his father and brother, fearing that they would never forgive him if he revealed them.
