Prince William and Prince Harry allegedly had a falling out due to Meghan Markle. The Duke of Cambridge warned his younger brother to slow down with his romance with the former Suits star.
However, the Duke of Sussex didn’t take his older brother’s advice well and their relationship has allegedly not recovered since. Prince William’s pal claimed that he was suspicious of the duchess.
Prince William allegedly thought Meghan has agenda
Royal biographer Robert Lacey appeared on ITV’s documentary Harry and William: What Went Wrong? According to him, “Someone close to William told me William felt from an early stage that Meghan had an agenda.”
In the updated edition of his book Battle of Brothers, Lacey shared new details about the royal siblings’ relationship. The author claimed that Prince William fumed at Markle’s “merciless” treatment of the staff. He even allegedly called his sister-in-law “the bloody woman.”
Duke of Cambridge threw out his brother
Prince William and Prince Harry were so close growing up. In fact, the Duke of Sussex was always with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge earning them the royal trio nickname.
However, Prince Harry and Prince William decided to have separate households shortly after the former married Meghan Markle.
According to Lacey, it was the Duke of Cambridge’s idea to have a separate household following the bullying allegation against Markle.
Kate Middleton’s husband allegedly went ballistic and was horrified when he learned about the bullying allegations.
He immediately called his brother to learn about his reaction. However, the younger royal allegedly got “furious” that his older brother was more inclined to believe in the palace staffers than him and his wife.
According to the historian, it led to an alleged “showdown” that became “fierce and bitter.” Eventually, the future king initiated to have separate households with the Sussexes.
“William wished to be separated from Meghan on a day-to-day basis — and that meant being separated from his brother as well,” Lacey wrote. “‘William,’ says a friend, ‘threw Harry out.’”
Harry and William’s reunion
Prince William and Prince Harry reunited last week for the unveiling of Princess Diana’s statue. They honor their late mother on what would have been her 60th birthday.
Several sources said that they had a friendly reunion. They showed no signs of tensions despite rumors that they were feuding.
However, royal expert Katie Nicholl believed that it would take more than Prince Philip’s funeral and Princess Diana’s statue unveiling for the siblings to reconcile.
According to the author of Harry: Life, Loss, and Love, Prince William is still very bitter and very hurt.
