Prince Harry and Prince William’s relationship has gone south ever since the younger Windsor royal decided to leave his royal duties and seek commercial ventures outside of the crown. This has made many people wonder, what the real reason for the rift between the brothers is.
There have been several speculations as to the cause of Harry and William’s row, many believe that it was due to Harry’s relationship with Meghan, which can only be described as a whirlwind.
Others have claimed that Harry and Meghan’s sudden decision to announce their exit from the royal family was the cause of William’s dismay to the couple.
Now, a bombshell book to be published on Oct. 13 has released details of the aftermath of the brother’s fight.
Harry and Meghan who were already rumored to be leaving the royal family late last year announced it officially in the beginning of 2020.
But the announcement from the Sussex camp was only revealed to the royal members 10 minutes before they announced it on their official Instagram.
This announcement catapulted the two brothers to have more reason to go against each other.
Due to this sudden announcement from the Sussex’s the Queen had to call on a meeting between her, Prince Charles, Prince William, and Prince Harry, including their royal advisors.
Dubbed as the Sandringham Summit, the senior royal members were all present.
But what happened behind the closed doors of Sandringham Palace has been revealed by this new book.
In ‘Battle of Brothers’ author Robert Lacey reveals that William refused to ‘break bread’ with Prince Harry.
Claims made Mr. Lacey in ‘Battle of Brothers’ was that the Queen called on the meeting but also wanted the royal members to have lunch first.
William was said to have declined the Queen’s offer, choosing not to have lunch with Prince Harry present.
William only attended the Sandringham Summit, and even by that time had only limited words to say to his little brother.
The Summit was an agreement between the royal institution and Prince Harry and Meghan’s commercial ventures.
Although the royal family announced that they were fully on board with the Sussex’s decision in their exit, it is no question that they were forced to say this after the bombshell announcement made by Harry and Meghan.
There has no word of the brother’s reconciliation, but it was reported during Prince Harry’s birthday that William reached out to him.
