In the same way, the two would probably not recognize him at the moment either. “But forgiveness is 100 percent a possibility.” He hoped for reconciliation, Harry emphasized. The ball is now in the playing field of the palace. The relationship between Harry and his big brother William is considered broken. According to media reports, in his book he makes serious allegations against the future king.
William is said to have thrown him to the ground and injured him during the argument. The trigger was allegations against his wife Meghan. William is a “beloved brother” and at the same time his “biggest opponent”, it is also said.
reconciliation difficult
“I saw that red haze on him,” Harry told ITV about an apparently short-tempered William – a portrayal that stands in sharp contrast to the public appearance of the heir to the throne. “Harry paints a picture of an irascible future king who can lose control,” Britain’s Guardian said.
Offer of reconciliation to the British Royals
More and more details are emerging from Prince Harry’s tell-all book, in which he accuses his brother Prince William of attacking him. The Royal has also given numerous interviews in which he makes an offer of reconciliation to Prince William and his father King Charles.
The Times wrote that William would find it difficult to get rid of the allegation of physical violence: “He will always be the prince who attacked his brother.” And the “Daily Telegraph” suspected that it was apparently Harry’s intention to “destroy William “. Royal expert Michael Cole spoke to Sky News of the “most sensational and devastating royal revelations” in almost 30 years.
In the ITV interview, Harry also described how he and William felt as they met grieving people outside Kensington Palace following the death of their mother Diana in 1997. “There were 50,000 bouquets for our mother, and there we were shaking people’s hands and smiling,” the prince said.
“Everyone thought and felt that they knew our mother, and the two people who were closest to her, who loved her the most, couldn’t show any feelings at the moment.” He cried only once – at Diana’s funeral .
“Point where silence becomes treason”
Harry was less forgiving in an interview with US TV broadcaster CBS. Journalists were secretly fed negative information about him and his wife Meghan, and the couple’s requests for replies to press articles were always rejected by the royal family. That’s why he decided to go public himself, Harry said. “There comes a point when silence becomes treason.”
In the interview, the prince also spoke about racism to which his wife had been exposed. Harry said he was naïve about how Meghan’s ethnicity would affect coverage of their relationship.
All interviews accompany the publication of his autobiographical novel “Spare” (Eng: “Reserve”), which should be in bookstores from Tuesday. In Spain it was accidentally already available for a short time on Thursday. Since then, British media have been reporting on spicy details of the memoirs.
“Groomsmen’s lie” at their own wedding
According to a report, Prince William was not actually the best man at his little brother Harry’s wedding to US actress Meghan Markle in 2018. “The royal family announced that Willy would be best man, as they did to me when he and Kate got married,” the book quoted the Mirror as saying.
During the wedding service, William also stood by his brother Harry. But apparently only for appearances: In fact, he chose an “old friend” as best man, according to Harry in the book. The evening before his wedding, he was with friends in a hotel, Harry says. William was also invited, but declined. “Did he sulk because he wasn’t my best man?” speculates Harry, according to the Mirror in his memoir. William, on the other hand, justified his absence with family obligations.
Harry previously accused his brother of being the public show at William’s wedding to Kate in 2011, while his brother’s best friends were the real groomsmen, according to a Mirror report on Friday. He was forced to play along with the “outrageous lie”.
British PM defended royals
Despite the many juicy revelations, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak thinks highly of the Royals. “I think the public, like me, has tremendous respect for the royal family, that they are deeply proud of them,” Sunak told the BBC. “She’s one of those things I’m most proud of when I think of Britain.”
