The revelations will also harm efforts to repair their rift with Harry's brother William and sister-in-law Kate, it is feared.
A royal household source said: 'The door will always be open to them as much-loved members of the family.
'But it's hard to see how they can now salvage the new role they wanted as 'hybrid' royals, running commercial careers alongside royal duties from the US.'
Another source told the Mail: 'The review period has not yet been discussed but it doesn't seem if there is any way of going back now. Some very private family matters have now been aired in public, seemingly with their blessing. That will be hurtful.'
The book, serialised in the Times and Sunday Times, has detailed the increasingly bitter relationship between Harry and William, as well as the rollercoaster romance that saw the couple declare 'I love you' within three months.
It also claims:
- Harry was so entranced by Meghan he convinced himself she was the woman who he would marry after only their second date.
- Meghan used to tip off the paparazzi when working as an actress in Canada, despite her later going on to claim she didn't understand the 'tabloid culture'.
- Meghan's friends claimed she endured prejudice from the royal household, with a senior staff member overheard telling a colleague: 'There's just something about her I just don't trust.'
- Harry believed William was a 'snob' for urging him not to rush into his relationship with Meghan, worrying his brother was being 'blindsided by lust'. The brothers have barely spoken since.
- Meghan was 'disappointed' that Kate did not welcome her into the family and found her frosty.
- One senior royal referred to the ex-actress as 'Harry's showgirl'.
- Harry felt 'unprotected' by his family and disparaged within palace walls for being 'too sensitive and outspoken'.
- Senior courtiers in other households felt that the global popularity of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex 'needed to be reined in',
- A tearful Meghan told friends about their decision to quit royal duties: 'I gave up my entire life for this family.'
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have 'torpedoed' any chance of creating a new position with the help of the Queen and senior royals when their 'trial period' in the US ends
