Prince William was not looking forward to the great expose from his estranged brother and his wife.
The Prince of Wales was reportedly not excited to hear the content of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle‘s interview with Oprah Winfrey, based on the couple’s history of being very open with the family’s best-kept secret.
Prince William and Prince Harry’s relationship broke down after the latter and his wife left their role in the Royal family in 2020 on the basis of media bullying and racism within the royal family.
In Kate Middleton’s latest biography, “Kate! The Courage, Grace and Power of the Woman Who Will Be Queen,” author Christopher Andersen had things to say about her husband being “literally sick with worry” in the build-up to Harry and Meghan’s explosive sit-down with Oprah Winfrey. According to Andersen, Middleton admitted that she could hear her husband throwing up in the bathroom for a full week before the interview aired.
The father of three was even “too distracted to think of food” because he was unsure of what his brother and sister-in-law could tell the press. Meghan and Harry did eventually say a lot in the interview, including Middleton’s heated argument with Meghan over a dress for Princess Charlotte for the wedding.
Harry equally confirmed that he was not on good terms with his brother, as there was a lot of hurt between the two of them. As shared by Page Six, Harry and Meghan also revealed that some unnamed members of the royal family raised concerns with Harry over the skin color of their unborn child and its consequences for the monarchy.
The Prince Of Wales Wants Harry & Meghan To Stop Milking Their Royal Family Privileges
In May, The Blast reported that sources from the palace shared that while rumors of reconciliation between the estranged members of the royal family are on a high, important requests are being made by Prince William.
According to the source, the Prince of Wales has now asked that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex find a way to stop monetizing their royal status, especially since they have not been putting in the work for years now.
The recent trip to Australia by Harry and Meghan also set some alarms off because the optics really felt like they were trying to financially benefit from the several commercial engagements that surfaced during the trip.
Harry and Megan participated in ticketed events and appeared on “MasterChef Australia” alongside paid appearances at a women’s retreat with ticket prices running into thousands.
Prince William Wants Accountability From His Estranged Younger Brother
The father-of-three has reportedly iced out his brother for years now, which has been the stumbling block on the path to reconciliation between them. According to royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams, the Prince of Wales sees his baby brother as the least trustworthy person around.
William himself allegedly has zero tolerance for perceived betrayals, and his memory often serves him right when it comes to recollecting and keeping streaks. In the words of British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard:
“Prince William is known to take a harder line than some. He’s setting his agenda for the future of the monarchy. There’s a difference between being ruthless and holding people accountable. He’s fearless and has a strong moral character.”
William reportedly knows that loyalty cuts both ways because betrayal has a very long shelf life, and all he wants is for Harry to hold himself accountable for future purposes.
William Claimed The Duke And Duchess Of Sussex Labeled His Wife
The Blast shared that shortly after Meghan and Harry left their royal duties behind and started a new life in the United States, he leveled hefty allegations against the Prince and Princess of Wales.
The Prince and Princess of Wales allegedly never expected Prince Harry to end up with someone like Meghan, despite being huge fans of her show “Suits.” Harry continued that the famous status of Meghan, including her successful career, threatened his family, as there was a lot of stereotyping that was happening, and he was also guilty of it at the beginning of their relationship.
Harry continued that Markle’s background as an American actress, a divorcée, and a biracial woman may have influenced how some members of his family view her. He concluded that the stereotype definitely served as a barrier to them introducing or welcoming her into the family as one of them.
Prince William And Kate Middleton Want Their Own Australian Tour
Following the impressive visit of Harry and Meghan to Australia, William and Kate are also quietly planning their official royal trip, branded as the revenge tour. The royal couple is reportedly very aware that they need to give Australia a well-deserved royal visit, and it is their job to make it happen.
The planned tour will reportedly mark William and Kate’s first official visit to the country in over a decade, and their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, will be along for the ride.
In 2025, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese extended an invitation to the future king when he paid a visit to the United Kingdom. He had assured the Royal Family that they would always be welcome in Australia, should they decide to plan a future tour.
Will Prince William and Prince Harry ever make up?
