What Happened Between Prince William And Prince Harry?
Initially, the Royal brothers were thought to be very close. They bonded after the death of their mother, Princess Diana and have stayed close to each other. However, with Prince Harry’s book publication, things point in a different direction.
Prince Harry writes mostly bad things about his big brother. And according to royal expert and author of ‘The King‘, Christopher Andersen, it just gets worse. Anderson said, “William is still simmering with resentment over ‘Megxit,’ not to mention Harry’s unflattering portrait of him in ‘Spare’. In the book, Harry portrays his older brother as his “archnemesis” – Harry’s words – a scolding, overbearing, brooding and, at times, even violent man.”
Anderson also adds, “Harry is still obviously upset that William was given a free ride because he is the heir – that William got away scot-free with doing many of the same things Harry was excoriated for.”

Prince Harry’s Confessions About His Brother In ‘Spare’
Prince Harry’s book has left the whole of the Royal family shaken. But it seems his brother, Prince William, gets a big hit. Harry revealed how in his childhood he was tormented by his status as royal “spare“. Prince Harry had a difficult childhood but it seems that the brother’s relationship worsened after he met Meghan Markle.
Harry also describes an argument in 2019. Prince William apparently called Markle “difficult,” “rude” and “abrasive“. He even grabbed Harry by the collar and knocked him down breaking his necklace. However, William did apologize for his outburst later on.
Christopher Andersen did praise William saying, “William is doing a marvelous job of compartmentalization. He seems to have put Harry and Meghan in a box and shoved that box into a remote corner of his mind – all so that he can do the job he must do as Prince of Wales.”
