Speaking about the Sussexes’ at her book launch Ms Seward commented: “God Almighty, Meghan has really moved at the speed of lightning.
“It was a whirlwind courtship, it was pretty quick.
“Harry is totally mesmerised by her; he would follow her to the ends of the earth, that’s my feeling. He’s obsessed.
“He’s being dragged around like a royal performing seal.
“And Meghan has got to hang on to Harry because he’s her entrée – what is she otherwise, but a starlet?”

“Harry lives up to the redhead image of a hothead totally, he always has – he’s very sensitive.”
