Prince harry
Katie Nicholl, author of books about the British royal family, claims that Prince William was intimidated by the possibility of exposure in the American press. This is reported by the publication Marie Claire.
A source close to Prince William told Nicholl that he stopped trusting Prince Harry. “Lack of trust on both sides makes progress difficult,” he said. “William is concerned that whatever he says to his brother might end up on American TV.” The reason for such concerns was the leaked information about his first conversation with Harry after the interview with Oprah Winfrey. TV presenter Gayle King, who knows Harry's wife Meghan Markle, immediately spoke about him on television.
Nicholl's source claims that the royal family is currently focusing on the health of Prince Philip, 99, who underwent heart surgery and was only recently discharged from the hospital. According to him, while they are trying to hide the latest news from the sick queen's wife. Against this backdrop, Harry and Meghan's efforts to fuel the scandal seem counterproductive. “This is a very strange approach to bridging the split in the family,” he said.
In early March, CBS broadcast the first joint interview that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle gave after moving to the United States. Harry said that during Meghan's first pregnancy, some members of the royal family expressed concerns about the skin color of their unborn child. Megan admitted that she was contemplating suicide due to harassment in the British press. It also became known that they lost the financial support of the royal family in the first half of 2020, and Prince Charles refused to talk to his son for several months.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have ceased their duties as members of the British royal family on April 1, 2020. To be eligible to relocate to the United States, work and do business, they had to give up their Royal Highness, government funding and the Sussex Royal brand. After signing an agreement with the Netflix video service, Harry and Meghan have achieved financial independence from the royal family.
