HARRY and Meghan intensified their war on Britan and the Royal family last night – with a supporter wheeled out to claim they had suffered ‘hatred’ and racism.
US businessman Christopher Bouzy, 47, was a little-known tech guru before turning his sights on the royal family last year.

Bouzy appeared in the Netflix doc’s trailer and said: ‘It’s about hatred. It’s about race’
But yesterday he was given a starring role in the streaming giant’s second “official teaser” video.
And in a dramatic intervention, Bouzy told viewers: “It’s about hatred. It’s about race.”
His claims were screened moments after the couple’s lawyer, Jenny Afia, insisted there was “a war against Meghan to suit other people’s agendas”.
The latest salvo against the Royals is likely to fuel demands for Megahan and Harry to be stripped of their Royal titles.
Wearing a grey suit, and red tie, Bouzy played a key role in the 63-second clip.
Within minutes, he gleefully tweeted: “I guess I can officially announce I am in the Harry and Meghan docuseries.
“I want to thank everyone who has supported Bot Sentinel’s research and allowed us to expose the targeted hate campaign against Harry and Meghan.”
Last year Bot Sentinel, founded by Bouzy, claimed to have analysed a stream of Twitter posts about Meghan.
The firm’s research said 70 per cent of negative content came from 83 accounts.
But Bouzy has also courted controversy after targeting the Prince and Princess of Wales for their looks.
Last year he tweeted: “Forgive me in advance for being petty.
“I just saw a recent photo of William and Kate, and those two are aging in Banana years.
“I don’t understand why since they have a team of people who wait on them hand and foot 24/7.”
Bouzy responded yesterday, tweeting: “I finally made the tabloids.
“And yes, I did say William and Kate are aging in banana years.
“But that has nothing to do with groups of Caucasian women participating in a 4+ year coordinated hate campaign against Meghan Markle, nor does it affect our research.”
Harry and Meghan have previously hit out at media intrusion and being asked to pose for photos.
But in the latest, highly intimate clip, the Duchess of Sussex is filmed heavily pregnant with daughter Lily in the heart of their £9m Montecito, US, home.
Dickie Arbiter, the Queen’s former press secretary, told The Sun: “Harry and Meghan left this country because they wanted privacy and didn’t want press intrusion.
“Since they’ve left they have done nothing but put out all sorts of statements and made themselves available which speaks volumes.”
“They are making so many allegations without any substance.
“They’re talking about stories that have been planted, but what are these stories? How could they even begin to say these have been planted by the hierarchy.
“I don’t believe there’s any substance to these allegations.
“Any leaks bounce back on them and give ammunition.
ALLEGATIONS WITHOUT SUBSTANCE
“The Brits are not stupid. This is just slick promotion. It’s over in a flash.
“Buckingham Palace will just think ‘here we go again’ because this is something that they experienced last year with Oprah Winfrey.
“They will not be angst about it. More often than not Harry has been the vocal mouthpiece.”
The King and Queen will both be out this week at pre-arranged engagements and vowed not to be distracted from the job, it is understood.
Insiders say the Royals are finding the Netflix row “wearying” coming so soon after the death of Queen Elizabeth II and the King taking on a new role.
Both King Charles and Queen Consort will be seen this week at royal engagements which were planned before Netflix revealed two trailers and announced release date for the docuseries.
Senior royals will get on with business and not be blown of course of be distracted from work, it is understood.
Buckingham Palace last night declined to comment.
Mr Arbiter said it was a “fine line” between the couple protecting themselves and attempting “manipulation” of the media.
He said: “He says he wants to protect his family and show what people went on behind closed doors. But no one wants to see behind closed doors. Private is private.
“He is obviously a very angry young man and obviously suffering the mental stress of the loss of his mother. He is playing on that.
“Harry says he doesn’t want Meghan to suffer the fate of his mother. But up until a point his mother courted the press.
“In 1994, she wore the revenge dress which I call the ‘Sod You Dress’ the very night the Prince of Wales aired his Jonathan Dimbledy interview.
“Diana was very good at manipulating the press and once she invited them it was very difficult to get rid of them.
“They know the press will pick up these stories.
“It’s a very fine line to draw between manipulation between trying to protect your assets and I don’t believe they are protecting their assets.
“We need to wait and see if these misleading photos are actually being used in the docuseries or just used to promote it.
“If they are, then there is come-back.”
Act needed to ‘demote’ Sussexes
THE King would have to instigate an Act of Parliament to strip Harry and Meghan of royal titles.
The last time any were removed completely was from German relatives in World War One — more than 100 years ago.
Although Diana and Sarah Ferguson lost their HRH status after divorcing Charles and Andrew, they were restyled Diana, Princess of Wales, and Sarah, Duchess of York without an Act in the 1990s.
Harry and Meghan were gifted the titles of Duke and Duchess of Sussex by the Queen.
