Prince Harry is convinced the royal family is hell-bent on getting revenge following the release of his bombshell book
JAIME HARKIN
Secrets & Lies

A source says William and Kate "have always wanted to resolve things with Harry and Meghan internally!"

Love it or hate it, Prince Harry's memoir, Spare, is an undeniable hit. The tell-all - which recounts Harry's experiences growing up in the royal family sold a record-breaking 3.2 million copies in its first week alone and has become the fastest-selling non-fiction book of all time. "The success of Spare surpassed all of Harry's hopes and expectations," says a source. "He was confident it would do well, but the scale of it is just mind-blowing."

Across the pond, the sentiment is different. Royal family members are less than thrilled about the memoir and Harry's press tour, during which he discussed his bitter rivalry with his brother, Prince William, and accused the palace of leaking negative stories about him and wife Meghan Markle, 41, to the British press. Now, Harry, 38, is worried some of his family members will retaliate. "It wouldn't surprise Harry if the royals spilled some of his deepest secrets to the media. There's so much distrust now," says the source, adding that it's pushing Harry to his breaking point. "He is done with all of the mind games."

Meghan has been keeping a low profile while Harry promotes his book. "She's working on other projects," a source says.
