Prince Harry ‘gets blamed for everything’ says royal insider
Prince Harry reacted furiously to getting "the blame for everything" in the Royal Family, according to royal biographer Robert Lacey. Mr Lacey's new book Battle of Brothers details Prince Harry and William's different royal paths and the ongoing rift between the two today. He told royal podcast Royally Obsessed that the Duke of Sussex "resented" his role in the Royal Family from an early age.
He explained: "Prince William derived a lot of strength from the idea that he would be king, and have great responsibility.
"That kept him going, while Harry went the other way from around the age of four.
"Once Harry was misbehaving in the back of a car and his nanny told him to shape up.
"Harry responded by saying he didn't need to shape up because he would not be king."

In his latest royal biography, Mr Lacey spoke about how Prince William and Harry's relationship can be seen as "the role of the heir and the spare" in the Royal Family.
He continued: "By their teens, Harry is coming to resent this typecasting.
"The fact that Prince William is the king of the castle, while Harry is seen as a dirty rascal, that he gets the blame for everything."

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were rumoured to be angry about the pressure Harry and Meghan's exit puts on them as senior working royals.
Robert Lacey also revealed that the Duke of Cambridge was left enraged over "Harry and Meghan’s 'prima donna' manoeuvres to conceal the birth of their son, Archie".
William was upset after the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were forced to wait eight days until they could meet Archie, who was born in May 2019.
This riled up Prince William, given that "the Queen, Prince Philip, Charles and Camilla all turned up within hours to coo over the baby".
