An excerpt from a bombshell new book about Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, published in the London Times, claims that the Duchess of Sussex wasn’t happy with a Vanity Fair journalist after her entire October 2017 cover story‘s focus shifted from her acting and philanthropy to her relationship with Harry.

According to the book Revenge: Meghan, Harry, and the War Between the Windsors by British biographer Tom Bower, which is set to be published Thursday, Markle told Vanity Fair reporter Sam Kashner that their friendship was over after reading the 2017 anecdote.

In her speech, the actress claimed that as a child she wrote to Procter & Gamble’s chairman then to then-first lady Hillary Clinton to complain about an advertising campaign’s anti-feminist wording.

At the time, Markle recalled having successfully urged Ivory, a dishwashing-liquid company owned by Procter & Gamble, to replace “Women” with “People” in the slogan “Women all over America are fighting greasy pots and pans.” However, according to the book, Kashner said Vanity Fair‘s fact-checkers questioned the accuracy of Markle’s supposed campaign and couldn’t find evidence regarding her reply from Clinton or verify her claims with Procter & Gamble.
