William told Harry he had ‘been brainwashed by therapy’ during a row

The prince William believed that the therapist he was seeing was “brainwashing” his brother Harry, the young Royal claimed in his explosive memoir.

The Duke of Sussex says his brother was so worried about what was exposed in his confidential sessions that he even asked to attend one.

Harry also accuses William of believing he was “not right, which meant he wasn’t smart” as he made plans to leave royal duties for a new life abroad.

The duke also says that he tried to mend their relationship with a joint therapy session, telling William that “it would be good for you.” Good for us’.

But William did not accept the offer.

The allegations are expected to dismay the Prince of Wales, who has publicly supported mental health causes.

The latest claims from Harry’s bombshell autobiography Spare are revealed ahead of an ITV interview with Harry tonight. On the programme, he talks about the ‘guilt’ of smiling as he greets the grieving crowds who had gathered to mourn his mother at Kensington Palace after her death in August 1997, days before her 13th birthday. years.

He reveals that he cried for his mother only once, when she was buried in Althorp after her funeral in Westminster Abbey.

Spare, due to be published on Tuesday, went on sale by mistake in Spain last week, prompting a series of initial revelations. The Mail on Sunday has now obtained an exclusive copy of the English version of the book and we can reveal that:

• Harry makes the explosive claim that William “pounced on him” after Prince Philip’s funeral in a dramatic showdown when the duke complained that he had been “stripped” when he stepped away from royal duties;

• Harry becomes the first member of the royal family to openly criticize Prince Andrew over allegations of sexual abuse, which he has always denied, saying his uncle was “embarrassing scandal”;

• William allegedly tried to force Harry to shave off his beard for his wedding to Meghan Markle, and that he and Kate started a fight when they switched cutlery to follow the tradition that couples don’t usually sit together;

• Harry dismissively gave insect nicknames to the main royal helpers: bee, fly and wasp;

• Meghan accepted gifts while at the palace, in breach of protocol, but Harry says she shared them with staff;

• Harry uses vulgar language and says, ‘I couldn’t stop thinking like the bloody Royal’;

• Oprah Winfrey, Coldplay’s Chris Martin and James Corden were among the stars thanked at the awards.

We can also reveal that military veterans called mental health services after Harry admitted killing 25 Taliban fighters, and that an incendiary tirade by hate preacher Anjem Choudary vilifying the Prince as a “Muslim killer” has raised concerns from security. for the Royal Family and the Armed Forces of the United Kingdom.

Meanwhile, the Royal Family continues to maintain a dignified public silence on the controversial book.

Sources say they are relieved the Queen was spared the hurtful revelations, while Prince Philip would have been “appalled” by Harry’s lurid stories of drugs and sex.

People close to the palace are horrified by Harry’s continued assault on his family despite his repeated claims that he wants to reconcile with them.

A friend of the royal family said William was “privately furious” over the book’s revelations, especially the disclosure of private medical information about the princes in childhood.

They added: ‘There is anger within the family for sharing such things. William is upset but also embarrassed by the deeply personal issues that Harry has included in this book.’

Another well-placed insider said: ‘Harry always had a deep animosity towards the media. He was deeply paranoid about the press and Meghan made it worse.

He accuses his family of reporting negatively against him, but there is no evidence of that. Ironically, there can be no more powerful negative report against a family member than what he is doing now. People will remember the stories of drugs and sex. These are the ones that will remain etched in the mind.

The source also cast doubt on Harry’s claim that William and Kate had helped him choose a Nazi costume uniform in 2005 that sparked a furor.

The source said: “He certainly did not mention that aspect of the story to anyone in the palace at the time.”

In Harry’s book, his father is portrayed as a kind but deeply flawed character, but Harry’s claims that the King did not hug his children when they were little are denied by family friends.

It is William who receives the most damaging criticism.

Harry paints a picture of his older brother as a manipulative influence who tried to control almost every aspect of his wedding to Meghan, from trying to force Harry to shave off his beard to changing the seating layout without Harry’s consent.

Harry’s comments about the Duke of York come up when discussing his own security arrangements.

When Meghan asks him one night if they’ll ever be unprotected, Harry tells her: ‘Never. Not in this climate of hate. And not after what happened to my mother.

‘Also, not in the wake of my Uncle Andrew. He was embroiled in an embarrassing scandal, accused of sexually assaulting a young woman, and no one had suggested that he lost his confidence.

“Whatever grievances people had against us, sexual offenses were not on the list.”

There is more to come. Tonight, after Harry’s interview with Tom Bradby airs on ITV at 9pm, CBS will be showing an interview with respected American broadcaster Anderson Cooper.

Later in the week, two more interviews will air in the US to promote the book: with Good Morning America host Michael Strahan on Monday and late-night TV host Stephen Colbert on Tuesday.

Meanwhile, former school friends shared a young Prince Harry’s private memories of his party days, some of which do not appear in his memories.

One quipped, “I could write a book on my own, but I wouldn’t stoop so low.”
