The Queen has been spotted for the first time since the explosive book about Prince Harry and Meghan hit the shelves.
The monarch was seen leaving Windsor Castle this afternoon as she headed to her Balmoral estate in Scotland.
She was seen wearing sunglasses as she peered out of the rear passenger window in a Range Rover escorted by police.
Her appearance came amid the release of Tom Bower's latest book 'Revenge: Meghan, Harry And The War Between The Windsors', which was written without the co-operation of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
The biographer detailed several outrageous claims and delved into why Meghan and Harry decided to move to America.
The book, released today by Blink Publishing, includes allegations that the Duchess threw a cup of tea in the air during a Royal tour, while the Queen was said to be pleased she couldn't attend Prince Philip's funeral.
Looking back at the Sussexes visit to Sydney, Australia, where they received an amazing reception, Bower writes: "Meghan was allegedly abrasive towards her four female staff and even towards the local British diplomats.
"According to one report, Meghan allegedly threw a cup of tea into the air. Her anger may have been partly fuelled by Harry.
"Every night he trawled social media, searching for snide comments on the internet. Every morning he and Meghan turned on their phones to surf the internet.
Lawyers on behalf of Meghan have repeatedly denied that she bullied palace staff or aide.
Bower also claims that the Sussexes were "addicted" to reading negative press coverage - and spent hours on their phones scouring social media.
The couple were said to be worried that close friends might be leaking stories about them and were keen to find out who could be behind it.
He alleges that in particular, Meghan suspected Victoria Beckham - and Prince Harry called David Beckham to repeat the accusation.
The Beckhams were said to be "outraged" and the accusation damaged their relationship.
And referring to a photo of Meghan beaming outside Buckingham Palace in her early years, Bower claims she re-watched a tape of Diana’s 1981 wedding afterwards and read a copy of Andrew Morton’s book Diana: Her True Story.
Meghan's childhood friend Ninaki Priddy said she was 'always fascinated by the royal family’ and by Diana’s incredible humanitarian work for sufferers of HIV and landmines.
The new book also claims Harry failed to alert the rest of the royals when he changed his mobile number.
He claims this confirmed William's fear that Meghan was becoming a "divisive agent".
Bower writes: "To please her, Harry had split from his old friends. He had even changed his telephone number without telling his family."
He further claims the Queen said 'thank goodness' after learning Meghan couldn't attend Prince Philip's funeral.
The couple had sat down with Oprah Winfrey for an interview just a month earlier, where they spoke about Meghan's alleged treatment in the Royal Family.
Buckingham Palace has declined to comment on the claims made in the book.
But, sources close to the Queen questioned whether she would have anything other than Philip on her mind on the day of the funeral, casting doubt on such a claim.
