The revelations continue to pour out, one of the hottest picks so far being that Harry has claimed that his father, King Charles, was jealous of him and Meghan Markle grabbing the limelight according to the latest leak of his explosive memoir.
The latest leak of the Duke of Sussex’s tell-all autobiography features claims that Charles was jealous of Harry and Megan as well as William and Kate.

The further revelations comes amid criticism that prince Harry has gone too far in exposing intimate details about his fall out with his family given their deep family tensions which shows no signs of evaporating anytime soon.
Harry explains in the book to hit the shelves on January 10, that his father had “experienced that before and he had no interest in letting it happen to him again”, an apparent reference to Harry’s mother, the late Diana, Princess of Wales.
The duke also continues to say how he believes his father actually feared Meghan and how she had the potential to “dominate the monarchy”. The alleged fear was that she could become another Diana for the public and press – which would in turn steal the limelight away from Charles and Camilla.

Harry goes on to say his father was also jealous of the amount of public attention William and Kate received.
In one translated excerpt in the newspaper, where the Duke again refers to his brother by his pet name, Harry says: “Willy did everything he (Charles) wanted, and sometimes he didn’t want him to do much, because my dad and Camilla didn’t like Willy and Kate getting too much publicity.”
Harry also reveals that William was “tormented” over their father’s affair with Camilla and felt “tremendous guilt” for not speaking up sooner, despite having “long harboured suspicions about the ‘Other Woman’”
Other bombshells revealed this weak from the book by The Duke of Sussex include allegations that his brother Prince William physically attacked him and urged him to fight back, and that he and his brother Prince William had begged his father not to marry Camilla, for fear they would have the ‘wicked woman’ as their step mother.
The memoir reveals deep seated hurt and anger on the part of prince Harry, who has held nothing back in his all out attack on his family, whom he has accused of facilitating a hostile press against him and his wife, Meghan Markle.
The resentment runs deep and will take a miracle to heal. His book also revealed that prince William found his wife Meghan Markle abrasive and rude, and the King said that he did not “have money to spare” to financially support the Duke and his wife Meghan.
The Duke of Sussex said the reason was because he feared the “novel and resplendent” American actress would steal his limelight.
Critics have questioned Prince Harry’s integrity in claiming to want his brother and father back after detonating major bombs in his tell all book, expected to be a big sell globally.
Psychologists told The Eye Of Media.Com in 2020 that some of the media onslaught against prince Harry and Meghan will be furiously avenged by the duke and duchess of sussex, but some analysts think the latest revelations from Prince Harry may be going below the belt.
Prince Harry’s strong belief that his brother parroted false narratives to the British press against him and his wife which his father refused to intervene in appears to have blown his head hot to the extent of selling his family out.
The royal family have adopted the silence approach in relation to the details of the book.
Charles Raised Livelihood Of Meghan
One of the many media outlets to obtain a copy of the Spanish version, The Daily Telegraph reported that Harry claimed that Charles had raised the subject of the actress’s livelihood before the couple’s engagement.
The then Prince of Wales reportedly asked if she planned to continue working after their marriage.
The Duke told the new King that he did believe so, Harry claimed that his father replied: “Well, my dear son, you already know that we don’t have money to spare.”
As working royals, Harry and Meghan were financially supported by Charles following their wedding but this arrangement ended when the couple moved to the US.
The then-Prince of Wales also allegedly admitted to difficulties in supporting Prince William and his wife the then-Duchess of Cambridge, according to the leaked excerpts.
The Duke reportedly questioned his father’s financial complaints but it remains unclear whether this took place during the conversation or in retrospect.
In the memoir, Harry reportedly claims that the now King actually feared his wife since she had the potential to “dominate the monarchy” and become another Diana for the public and the press.
In one translated excerpt of the book where the duke again refers to his brother by his pet name, Harry says: “Willy did everything he (Charles) wanted, and sometimes he didn’t want him to do much, because my dad and Camilla didn’t like Willy and Kate getting too much publicity.”
Best Man’s Speech
According to the Mirror – one of many outlets to obtain a copy of the Spanish version and translate it – Harry writes: “Willy doesn’t want me giving a best man’s speech.”
The duke also claims his brother was “wasted” on rum hours before his wedding to Catherine Middleton, and that he was drunk when he went out to greet people on the Mall in London before the ceremony.
Harry said he could smell “the aftermath of last night’s rum” on his “tipsy” brother’s breath, and that he offered mints to William as he lowered the windows of their car, telling him, “You smell of alcohol”.
Writing about his own wedding seven years later, Harry reportedly claims William ordered him to shave his beard as he could not stand the thought of his younger brother having a perk he was denied, as he was made to shave his beard for his wedding.
“At one point he actually ordered me, as the heir speaking to the spare, to shave,” he writes.
Rude
Prince Harry also reveals that Meghan upset Kate by saying she must have “baby brain” in the run-up to the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s 2018 wedding, and William pointed a finger at Meghan and called her “rude”.
He also reveals that Kate reluctantly lent Meghan her lip gloss, was “taken aback” by the request to borrow it and “grimaced” when Meghan squeezed some onto her finger and applied it to her lips.
Ahead of the autobiography’s release, Prince Harry is taking part in a tell-all interview to tease the book.
Harry: The Interview will feature the duke of sussex share details of the Duke and Duchess’s strained relationship with King Charles and Prince William as well as why they decided to leave.
It is not clear how King Charles will react to the latest revelations, there are suspicions he may ban his son from the king’s coronation this year in response to the revelations- an act that may only exacerbate the sore rift between them.
