Bombshell revelation WILLIAM THREW HARRY OUT

A respected royal writer reveals the true depth of the brothers’ fallout

Their rift has caused shockwaves since it was announced two years ago that Prince William and Prince Harry were splitting their royal households.

But now comes the bombshell news that the decision to go their separate ways was not made by Harry, as previously thought, but by William, who was furious over claims his sister-in-law, Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, was ill-treating palace staff.

An explosive book by royal historian Robert Lacey claims the brothers argued over the allegations against Meghan, who William felt was “undermining some precious principles of the monarchy”.

A furious Harry came to his wife’s defence and William, feeling “hurt and betrayed” by the brother he’d always been so protective of, decided the Cambridge and Sussex households should go their own ways, says Robert in his book Battle of Brothers. According to one friend, “William threw Harry out.”

The book, which uses royal staff and a close friend of William’s as sources, paints a picture of a falling out between the once close brothers that is far more toxic than previously thought.

The gulf between the pair, who are due to meet up later this week for the unveiling of a statue of their late mother, Princess Diana, on what would have been her 60th birthday, appears to be unbridgeable.
