Prince Harry reveals the moment he became ‘enemies’ with his brother as William plotted revenge
Prince William is estranged from his brother Prince Harry, with the Duke of Sussex opening up about the exact moment their once-close relationship broke down
Prince Harry has admitted he’s become an “enemy” to his brother Prince William as he opened up about their strained relationship. The once-close pair have become estranged over the years, with their relationship breakdown seeming to have started when Harry left the Royal Family. However, the Duke of Sussex has revealed it actually started much earlier.
Prince Harry ‘may take revenge’ on King Charles and Prince William with brutal move
In his bombshell memoir Spare, Harry recalled taking a trip to Africa with William and Mark ‘Marko’ Dyer back in 1999. He pointed to this trip as the moment he and William started feuding. Harry wrote: “There were no other boys around, no other common enemies, Willy and I would turn on each other.” He also said they would most often argue when sitting in the back seat of a car as their father King Charles drove them somewhere.

He said: “Once, in Scotland, on the way to the River Spey, we started scuffling, and soon were in a full scrap, rolling back and forth, trading blows. Pa swerved to the side of the road, shouted at Willy to get out.” Harry said William was “furious” at being the only one forced out of the car. He said his brother “felt I got away with everything”. Once William was out of the car, he was forced to walk to the backup car with all the bodyguards and get in.

Elsewhere in Spare, the Duke of Sussex also opened up about an explosive row he had with his brother. During the argument, the Prince of Wales allegedly called Harry’s wife Meghan Markle “difficult”, “rude” and “abrasive”. Harry claims his brother then “grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor”.
Harry also made a number of accusations about other members of the Royal Family, including King Charles, Queen Camilla and Princess Kate. While Harry has taken steps to reunite with his father, he has been estranged from his brother for years.
