According to a top British royal journalist, Roya Nikkhah, who works for the Sunday Times and writes for Sky News and the BBC, Prince William has severed ties with his brother Prince Harry.
The rift follows the airing of the latest three-part installment of the Netflix series, “Harry and Meghan.”
It has been reported that Prince William has cut off all contact with his younger brother Prince Harry over the accusations that Prince Harry made against the royal family in the Netflix documentary.
Nikkhah posted a tweet accompanied by an article about the fallout of the royal family due to the docuseries “Harry and Meghan,” which was released in full last Thursday by Netflix.
Nikkah referenced two witnesses who claim to be close friends of Prince William, who told the royal reporter that William was displeased with the revelations made by Harry and Meghan in their Netflix series. In the documentary, Prince Harry said that Prince William and his father, King Charles, had screamed at him when the couple met with their close family to discuss their plans to terminate their royal duties and move out of the UK in 2020.
Harry accused William of working against Harry and Meghan with the British tabloids and conspiring to plant stories about Meghan and Harry that were damaging to them or untrue, presumably in order to hide other scandalous stories about other members of the royal family from media publishers.
One of Prince William’s friends told Nikkhah that the relationship between the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex had already been in trouble for a while. Following the documentary, which sealed the deal, Prince William decided to cut off ties with his brother.
Spokespeople for the royal family refused to comment on the Netflix series, and Kensington Palace, where Prince William’s press office is based, did not respond to the accusations made by Prince Harry.
In the documentary, Harry accused William of allowing his press office to trade stories about him and Meghan, and that William worked with the British press so they would not print unflattering stories about William or the rest of the royals.
Harry said he refused to participate in the trading gossip business. He said that he and his brother had once promised each other to have each other’s backs.
Harry admitted that even though he understood that William had to support the royal institution because he is heir to the throne, he was saddened by the rift it had caused between them.
The Netflix documentary reveals why Harry and Meghan left the United Kingdom, and the British media harassment was the biggest reason for leaving. The couple said they realized the Palace was unwilling to protect Meghan from the media, and for their safety, they had to leave.
When they moved out of the UK, first to Canada and later to the California, the royal family took away the security staff that were protecting Harry and his family. They were “fed to the wolves.”
