The falling out between Prince Harry and Prince William began much earlier.
But Meghan Markle's appearance made the situation worse.
London – For good reason, Meghan Markle (42) held back when Prince Harry (39) published his memoirs called “Spare” on January 10, 2023.
The British press in particular has rarely had a good time with the ex-actress since the Duke and Duke of Sussex resigned from their royal duties in 2020 and headed to the States for a new start.
The situation between Prince Harry and Prince William (41) was already ambivalent, as Prince Harry explained in his work.
Prince Harry declares his brother Prince William his arch-enemy in his memoir Spare
In “Spare,” he even declared his brother his archenemy and was promptly asked about his “strong words” in the book in a clip four days before in his interview on “Good Morning America.”
The interview was eagerly awaited as Harry had recently jetted from California to London to visit King Charles (75) after his cancer.
Harry's answer once again highlighted the rift in his relationship with Prince William, even though he declared to the world that he loved his family.

"There's always been this competition between us, strangely enough," the Duke of Sussex replied.
"I think it's the usual game between heirs and substitute heirs."
Harry accused his father King Charles in his notes of allegedly branding him a "substitute" on the day he was born.
"Wonderful!
“Now you have given me an heir and a replacement husband – my work is done,” Charles is said to have said to his then wife, Princess Diana (36, † 1997), in 1984.
Meghan Markle's appearance made it clear how divided Prince Harry and Prince William already were
With Meghan's emergence and Harry's marriage to her in 2018, things worsened between the brothers.
The bride and groom would have liked to get married in Westminster Abbey, but William immediately rejected the idea because he and Kate Middleton (42) had said yes there.
According to his brother, the current Prince of Wales also saw alternative wedding ideas as unsuitable for various reasons.
That was the moment when, according to Harry, he felt the desire to “just run away.”

Instead of the “barefoot in Botswana” wedding that Harry dreamed of, it was a wedding in St. George's Chapel at Windsor Castle.
The allegations are deep and currently seem irreconcilable.
King Charles III's cancer
at least brought the regent closer together with his younger son.
But the gap between the brothers is still huge.
