Since Prince Harry stepped down from royal duties in 2020, his fractured relationship with Prince William has been widely reported. Although several publications had claimed that the brothers were drifting apart long before the Duke of Sussex left the UK, in his book Spare Harry gave his account of the breakdown of their relationship for the first time.
In his memoir, Harry alleged that William physically attacked him and called the heir to the throne his 'beloved brother' and 'archnemisis'. While William has not spoken about their fall-out publicly, insiders have claimed that he was 'burning inside' over Harry's revelations and that peace talks were unlikely as he felt 'utterly betrayed'.
