Royal Family LIVE: Prince Harry's fury over two-word Meghan Markle comment

Prince Harry and Prince William are no longer on speaking terms, with signs of rift starting even before the Sussexes sensationally quit the Royal Family.

By Jasmine Carey, Royal Reporter

Prince Harry was reportedly left furious at his brother  Prince William after a two-word comment he made about Meghan Markle.

The brothers, who were so tight growing up, are no longer on speaking terms, however it is believed the rift began just before Harry's 2018 wedding.

In the Harry and Meghan biography, Finding Freedom, Carolyn Durand and Omid Scobie say that William feared his brother had been "blindsided by lust" in his bid to marry Meghan not long after meeting her.

The co-authors claim the Duke of Sussex was angered and offended by William's unwanted advice to "take as much time as you need to get to know this girl".

According to the pair, William was happy for his brother, but "just wanted to make sure that Harry wasn't blindsided by lust". Harry reportedly took offence and got angry with the two-word phrase "this girl", which he interpreted as "snobbish" from his older brother.

Queen Elizabeth's sweet gesture to a young Kate

Queen Elizabeth made a sweet gesture to Princess Kate on her first visit to Balmoral.

The two women had only met briefly before and the late Queen invited Kate and William to stay at the castle. To make Kate less nervous, the monarch allowed Kate to bring her camera and take photos of the landscape.

This was considered a rare privilege.

Harry's secret message to King Charles

The duke, 40, has spent the last few weeks travelling for engagements and has visited New York City, the UK and Africa.

During these solo engagements, it is believed Harry has been honouring both his mother and his father, with some believing he is trying to send the King a message.

Speaking on behalf of Slingo, former royal butler Grant Harrold, who previously worked for Charles explained: "Diana was a massive advocate for so many charities, and Harry has been inspired by that.

"This trip has seen Harry speak about his mother and her legacy and it's definitely a tribute to her. But he's also spoken passionately about climate change, which is a cause close to his father's heart.

"I have no doubt he was honouring his father too. He loves and respects Charles and has a great deal of admiration for him. I think he's wanted to go out there and give a nod of support to his dad and maybe he'll hope that Charles will see this and get behind him."

Trust could stop Harry rejoining Royal Family

The ex-butler of King Charles has said trust would be the main obstacle stopping Prince Harry from rejoining the Royal Family if he wanted to.

Grant Harrold exclusively told Express: "I’d like to think because of knowing how close they were that it's possible, but I think the trust with the Royal Family is a big issue and I think in the back of their minds they are always going to worry.

“Never say never, time is a healer. I think it depends on what he does over the next couple of years if we can see him come back in.

"I’m sure his father would probably love to welcome him back with open arms, they’ve just got to be sure that what’s happened in the past few years is not going to happen again.”
