Mr Bower explained that Charles “berated” Harry and questioned why Meghan would not visit Thomas and seek reconciliation.
In the book he also claimed Meghan refused to phone Mr Markle as she suspected his phone “was “not in his possession” and contacting him was not secure.
Mr Bower wrote: “Meghan’s excuses irritated Charles and perhaps also the Queen.
“The monarch must have found it hard to believe that Meghan could not resolve her differences with Thomas Markle.”

r Bower added: “The inconsistencies of Meghan’s excuses not only irritated Charles but perhaps also the Queen.”
After the call, Meghan claimed she could not make a visit to her father without causing “a frenzy of media attention and intrusion that could bring more embarrassment to the Royal Family.”
Meghan later added: “I was especially sensitive to this as I had very recently married into the family and was eager to please them.”
Mr Bower’s book explores the build up to Harry and Meghan’s decision to leave the Royal Family and is due to be published on July 21.
