Prince Harry accuses King Charles of being envious of Kate Middleton’s media coverage

Prince Harry has claimed that King Charles was envious of the Princess of Wales’s media coverage and allegedly accused her and Prince William of “diverting attention away from him and Camilla”.

In his bombshell book, Spare, which hit shelves on Tuesday, the Duke of Sussex described how his father “controlled the strings in the portfolio” of his brother, meaning how much the Prince of Wales worked was essentially dictated by his father. .

When the then-Duchess of Cambridge announced she was expecting Princess Charlotte in 2014, Prince Harry recounts how his brother started being called “work-shy Wills.”

Jumping to William’s defence, Harry wrote: “She did everything Pa wanted her to do, and sometimes that wasn’t much, because Pa and Camilla didn’t want Willy and Kate to get too much publicity.”

Prince Harry claims his father and stepmother ‘openly scolded’ William for him and his wife ‘diverting attention away from them’ [and] its causes’.

By way of example, Prince Harry went on to recount how his father’s press officer was furious that the Duchess of Cambridge’s team had booked an engagement for her on the same day as one of Charles’s members.

As it was too late for the mother of three to call off her engagement at a tennis club, Charles’s press officer indicated that the Duchess should not be holding a racket in any photos.

“Such an attractive and winning photo would surely wipe Pa and Camilla off the front pages,” Harry wrote. And that, in the end, could not be tolerated.

As a result, Prince Harry says his brother confided in him that both he and his wife “felt trapped and unfairly persecuted.”

Although the Duke of Sussex does not specify what the engagements were, Kate Middleton visited GSK’s Human Performance Laboratory in Brentford during the early stages of her second pregnancy.

During her tour of the athletic center, the mother of three, who is known for getting involved in sports during engagements, chose to watch aspiring Olympians train from the sidelines.

However, he was put to the test when he completed four trials of increasing difficulty from neuroscientist Barry O’Neill, which involved touching colored circles on a large screen.

On the same day, King Charles visited Arlington Gardens in Islington, which had undergone a £170 million redevelopment.

In another part of the book, Prince Harry alleges his brother was “seething” with rage after accusing his father and Camilla of “planting” stories about him and his family in the press.

Recounting a phone call in April 2019, Prince William reportedly told his brother: “Give Pa and Camilla an inch and they take a mile.” They did this to me for the last time.

The Duke of Sussex later says he told his brother that his father and stepmother had “done the same thing with [him] and Mega’.

However, the duke does not specify what story William was supposedly talking about.

But Harry blames a ‘zealous’ member of his father’s press office for ‘spreading’ false or unflattering stories as part of a ‘campaign’ to get good press for the now King and Queen Consort, at the expense of others. members of the family.

Harry also blamed the same person, whom he does not name but says is a woman, for leaking that he had gone to Germany on a hunting trip in 2017 that “made me look like a fat 17th century baron craving blood on trophies.” ‘.

In fact, he says, he had been “working with German farmers to cull wild boar to save their crops.”

Harry claims his German story was ‘traded’ for ‘better access’ to his father and to suppress stories about a member of Camilla’s family.

He even claims he had “proof” from reporters inside “real newsrooms” that he and his brother were being sold. However, like many of Harry’s claims, there is much that is confusing and wrong.

For example, Charles’ PR team was headed by a man in both 2017 and 2019.

And Harry’s hunting trip was only leaked because locals reported to Germany’s largest newspaper that Harry and his friends had arrived in the country on a private plane.

They also managed to track down which estate they were staying at because he had attended the wedding of the landowner, nicknamed The Boar Terminator, earlier and classified him as a good friend.
