Royal expert Jennie Bond on Prince Harry’s explosive new book
ROYAL expert Jennie Bond says there is now little hope of a reconciliation between Prince Harry and brother William.
She spoke out as details emerged from Harry’s new memoir, Spare.
They include allegations that William attacked Harry in a row over Meghan. Harry is also reportedly claiming his brother and sister-in-law Catherine encouraged him to wear the notorious Nazi uniform he showed up for a fancy dress party.
Speaking to GB News Breakfast, Ms Bond said: “The saddest thing is the line saying that at Prince Philip’s funeral, Charles stood there at his father’s funeral and looked at his sons and looked up. It says in the book he looked at their flushed faces and said: ‘Please boys don’t make my final years of misery’.
“And I think that’s terribly telling and sad. It’s almost a Shakespearean tragedy to the elderly King saying to his sons, please just just cool it, will you? But they won’t. I don’t think this is going to make it any better.
Speaking to Isabel Webster and Martin Daubney, she continued: “I think we should remember this is one side of the story and so recollections may vary. The allegation that William and Kate told him to wear the Nazi uniform which cast a huge shadow over the Royal Family is a pretty bad one to hand to your brother.
“But it is, ‘he said, she said’. Willl that bring William out to respond? It might possibly. I don’t know if Harry’s telling the truth, it is definitely his truth. But again, I think we all see one side of the story and then this spat, this fisticuffs that they had in the kitchen, we really do need to know William’s side of it.
She added: “Did Harry say something to provoke William to put his hands on Harry? They’re both very protective of their wives. William had accused Megan of being abrasive, difficult and rude. Did Harry then say something about Katherine? I don’t know. It’s all incredibly unsavoury, it is very immature and it clearly isn’t going to help towards the reconciliation, which Harry has suggested he wants. That’s the only positive thing that has come out so far. Harry for the first time has said he does want his family back, not the institution, but his family. It’s a funny way of going about it.”
