A major royal biographer believes the future of the monarchy depends on the “wiping out of the Sussexes” after Prince Harry paid a brief visit to the royal following his cancer diagnosis.
Tom Bower launched a blistering attack on the Duke of Sussex, branding him a “traitor” as he discussed his meeting with Charles on this week's The Reaction, the Mail's new YouTube talk show.
It was hoped the disturbing news of the king's illness could bring Harry closer to his father and brother, the Prince of Wales, after years of launching vicious attacks against the monarchy.
But Mr Bower told Mail columnists Sarah Vine and Andrew Pierce that the opposite was true.
The author of “Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors” gave his opinion on this week's episode: “I think that the monarchy is actually relying on actually erasing the Sussexes from our lives because their continued existence is bad for us is.” .

“I’m really angry that he was even allowed to land in London and then given a special escort to Clarence House.”
“I find it interesting that he had to stay in a hotel given the number of bedrooms there are at Buckingham Palace and all the other palaces in London.”
Harry was photographed at Heathrow Airport this afternoon (Wednesday) preparing to depart the UK after just 24 hours.
Bower's strong comments come after Harry, 39, spent a short time with his 75-year-old father – despite not seeing him for 17 months – after the royal informed him of his cancer over the phone.
They met at Clarence House before the king went to Buckingham Palace to board a helicopter that took him to Sandringham in Norfolk with his wife, Queen Camilla.
Buckingham Palace confirmed on Monday that the royal had begun immediate treatment for an unspecified form of cancer after “a worrying problem” was recently identified during treatment for a benign enlarged prostate.
Due to his condition, the King has decided to postpone his public appearances while he receives treatment, but will continue to work hard behind the scenes.
The hosts also discussed whether there is hope for forgiveness and healing between the royal family and the Sussexes.
Sources told the Mail yesterday that while William, 41, respects his father's decision to leave the door “a crack” for Harry, a reconciliation is “not an option for him personally at this time” while he is with his wife , the Princess of Wales, stay. at the hospital bed after her abdominal surgery.

Mr. Bower argued: “You can't put up with a man who has made his living for the last three years by being such a traitor and causing them so much misfortune.” I mean, he really did it quite deliberately . I mean he's not a boy, he's almost 40.'
Ms Vine and Mr Pierce praised the royal for telling the public about his condition, but they debate whether he should have said what type of cancer he had after it was confirmed it was not prostate cancer.
Mr Pierce said: “The king was transparent up to a point, but then he became more opaque about the cancer, saying: 'He is being treated for cancer.'” The speculation is scary, Sarah. He might as well go all out.'
But Ms Vine argued: “I really disagree with you. 'I think sometimes people need to keep a part of themselves to themselves, especially when you're like him – lying on a stretcher for everyone to see.'
