Prince William still ‘resents’ Prince Harry for his royal exit and ‘Spare’

Prince William, who was once inseparable with his brother, Prince Harry, is now estranged from him, following the explosive memoir, Spare.

Harry, along with his wife, Meghan Markle, stepped down from his senior royal duties in 2020. Their royal exist was famously dubbed as ‘Megxit’, a play on Brexit – Britain’s exit from European Union in 2018.

According to Christopher Andersen, author of The King, William still resents his brother for leaving the royals and for painting him in a bad light in his explosive memoir, Spare.

“William is still simmering with resentment over ‘Megxit,’ not to mention Harry’s unflattering portrait of him in Spare,” Andersen told Fox News Digital. “In the book, Harry portrays his older brother as his ‘archnemesis’ – Harry’s words – a scolding, overbearing, brooding and, at times, even violent man.”

The expert continued, “Harry is still obviously upset that William was given a free ride because he is the heir – that William got away scot-free with doing many of the same things Harry was excoriated for.”

On how the Prince of Wales, 41, is handling the situation on the public front, Andersen described, “William is doing a marvellous job of compartmentalisation. He seems to have put Harry and Meghan in a box and shoved that box into a remote corner of his mind – all so that he can do the job he must do as Prince of Wales.”

In his memoir, Harry described his elder brother as “difficult,” “rude” and “abrasive” and also detailed a physical altercation he has in 2019 after a heated argument.

Harry claimed that William grabbed him by the collar, ripping his necklace and knocking him down. He did mention that William apologised for it later.
