Prince Harry has lifted the lid on the royal tiffs that culminated with him and his wife stepping back from their roles as senior members of the royal family in his new memoir Spare.
The 38 year old has detailed a catalogue of family fights, from disagreements over bridesmaid dresses to physical altercations and even arguments over King Charles’ decision to marry longtime love Camilla, now Queen Consort.
Harry previously opened up about a family "summit," that took place at Sandringham in January 2020, just after he and Meghan Markle announced their plans to step back from their royal duties.
But now he’s lifted the lid on a “second summit,” that he, Meghan, Kate Middleton and Prince William held at his home, Nottingham Cottage, in December 2018.
The group, who were once branded the “Fab Four,” met on Harry and Meghan’s “turf” to hash out the growing tension shortly after the couple returned from their Australia tour.
Harry writes that there was “no small talk,” and that Kate, 41, “got things rolling straightaway by acknowledging that the stories about Meg making her cry were totally false.”
The Duke even claims that his sister-in-law agreed that she was the one who made Meghan, also 41, cry and offered an apology.
However, this didn’t satisfy the Sussexes, who questioned what could be done to correct the story publicly – although Harry says that he knew nothing would happen due to the Palace's desire to protect William's reputation.
Harry has repeatedly alleged that negative stories about him and Meghan were planted in order to make other members of his family look better and has even claimed that his stepmother Camilla “sacrificed” him for the sake of her own PR.
Harry says that the four then went “around and around” discussing potential suspects who might have leaked the bridesmaid story, before William, 40, finally conceded that he had relayed the argument to his father and Camilla over dinner.
Harry describes his reaction in the memoir: “I put my hand over my face. Meg froze. A heavy silence fell. So now we knew. I told Willy that you of all people should’ve known. He nodded. He knew. More silence. It was time for them to go.”
The Duke of Sussex then explains that the Prince and Princess of Wales left without the couples resolving their issues.
After publishing his memoir, Harry has embarked on a publicity tour in which he continues to attack his relatives and most recently accused his family of "undermining," him on a US talk show.
