Royal Feud's Crucial Moment Revealed in New Biography as William Feels Betrayed
A new biography has unveiled the exact moment that became a pivotal turning point in the bitter feud between Prince William and Prince Harry, laying bare the details of their estrangement for the first time. The book, titled William and Catherine: The Intimate Inside Story by Russell Myers, the Mirror's royal editor, provides exclusive insights into how fleeting comments during an interview irrevocably altered the brothers' relationship.
The South Africa Interview That Changed Everything
Months before the Duke and Duchess of Sussex decided to step back from royal duties and move to America, they invited ITV journalist Tom Bradby to accompany them on a trip to South Africa for a documentary. During this interview, Prince Harry revealed that he and his brother were "on different paths," noting they had "good days" and "bad days." These seemingly casual remarks, as detailed in the biography, marked a significant shift, exposing the deepening rift between the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex.
William's Sense of Betrayal Over the Interview
The biography further reveals that Prince William felt profoundly "betrayed" by the interview. William had considered Tom Bradby a friend, with both brothers sharing a close relationship with the journalist. According to a source quoted in the book, "William felt betrayed and severely let down. He considered Tom a friend, they had always got on and Harry was close to him too, but [William] never thought [Bradby] would take a side like he did." This perceived alignment with Harry's perspective intensified the feud, contributing to the ongoing estrangement that has persisted for years.
Broader Royal Family Dynamics and Related Stories
In other royal news, Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are reportedly "broken" by the scandals surrounding their parents, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, as they embark on "different paths" to distance themselves publicly. Additionally, a separate royal book highlights the late Queen Elizabeth's efforts to prepare Princess Kate for her role in the Royal Family, offering guidance on handling "headstrong husbands." Meanwhile, Meghan Markle's solo appearance at a Hollywood gala has sparked discussions about her professional independence, with experts suggesting it reflects strategic brand marketing amid the royal turmoil.
The biography sheds light on the complex dynamics within the Royal Family, emphasizing how public disclosures and media interactions can have lasting impacts on personal relationships. As the feud between William and Harry continues to unfold, this revelation adds a new layer of understanding to their prolonged conflict.
