Queen dies: Sylvia Jeffries DEFENDS Harry and Meghan and says she ‘feels sick’ hearing ‘hate’

Today, Extra presenter Sylvia Jeffreys defended the Duke and Duchess of Sussex amid backlash over the release of Prince Harry’s new memoir.

Harry drew the ire of royal critics this week after reports claimed his forthcoming autobiography will reportedly still be published as scheduled in November, despite Queen Elizabeth’s death.

Responding to criticism on Wednesday, Jeffreys said the “negativity” being expressed against the Sussexes has made her physically ill.

“I’m starting to get sick of the negativity around Harry and Meghan this time,” the TV host said during an interview with feminist commentator and author Jane Caro.

“History repeats itself in so many ways with Harry, whose grief as a child was owned by others,” lamented Jeffreys, referring to the media frenzy surrounding the death of his mother Princess Diana in August 1997.

“Once again it’s owned and criticized for grieving in a way that others aren’t happy about,” she added.

When she appeared on the show, feminist commentator and author Jane Caro (far left) agreed with Jeffreys, saying, “I’m actually really over the hate Harry and Meghan stuff. I think it’s dirty’

Caro agreed, interjecting: “I’m basically done with this hatred for Harry and Meghan. I think it’s gross.’

“Here is a bereaved young man who has such a tragedy in his life. When he lost his mother, I’ll never forget that little boy who marched behind that coffin with that message that said “mama.” I have the feeling, can we all withdraw?’ she added.

Caro said Harry likely has “no control” over when the memoir is released due to his contract with publisher Penguin Random House, and has therefore been falsely accused of being insensitive.

The segment ended with a stern warning from Jeffreys about the so-called “story” surrounding Sussex’s feud with The Firm.

‘It will be very interesting to see how history looks back on this, and the story surrounding it.’

It comes as speculation continues to swirl about Harry’s memoir.

On Wednesday, royal commentator Tom Bower, whose biography of Meghan Markle was released earlier this year, claimed that the Duke of Sussex is “insistent” on honoring the original release date of his memoir.

“Tonight I hear that Harry is insisting that his book be published in November,” he told GB News.

“Apparently the publishers aren’t too sure, but he says if they don’t publish, that’s a breach of contract. That’s what I’ve been told. It’s extraordinary. But on the other hand, it fits, because Harry and Meghan’s finances are completely dependent on the book and Netflix.’

“And I also think they are convinced that they are right and that they want their own right back,” Bower added.

However, a source close to the Duke has since denied Bower’s claims. Penguin has previously announced that Harry will donate the proceeds from the book to charity.

Penguin Random House has described the book as “a heartfelt memoir of one of the most fascinating and influential world figures of our time.”

The publisher’s website reads: ‘For the very first time, Prince Harry will share the definitive account of the experiences, adventures, losses and life lessons that shaped him.

“From childhood to this day about his life in the public eye, including his dedication to service, the military duty that took him twice to the front lines of Afghanistan, and the joy he found in being a a husband and father, Prince Harry will provide an honest and captivating personal portrait, showing readers that behind everything they think they know is an inspiring, courageous and uplifting human story.”

Harry said he hopes his story will “help show that wherever we come from, we have more in common than we think.”
