Prince Harry\u2019s all-tell memoir\u00a0Spare\u00a0<\/em>further damaged the bond between the brothers.<\/p>\n

Harry and William have always been extremely close. But sadly, things changed drastically when the younger brother made a decision to\u00a0step down from his royal duties<\/a>. Leaving Britain behind wasn\u2019t the only thing Harry did that bothered the members of the Firm. He went on to give interviews and provide details about the royal family, which enraged many.<\/p>\n

Things turned even more heated when Harry released his memoir,\u00a0Spare.\u00a0<\/em>In it, he wrote about his relationship with his father. He described the moment he learned of his mom\u2019s tragic passing. Further, he wrote how he felt about Camilla, and of the heated argument he had with his brother.<\/p>\n

Harry detailed a meeting with William during which he had called his wife, Meghan, \u201cabrasive,\u201d \u201crude,\u201d and \u201cdifficult,\u201d something Harry referred to as to \u201cparroting the press narrative.\u201d<\/p>\n

Allegedly, things escalated.<\/h2>\n

Harry described how William \u201cgrabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and\u2026 knocked me to the floor.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHe set down the water, called me another name, then came at me. It all happened so fast. So very fast. He grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor. I landed on the dog\u2019s bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me. I lay there for a moment, dazed, then got to my feet and told him to get out,\u201d Harry wrote.<\/p>\n

Their relationship is at the lowest point. According to a mutual friend, when the time comes, William could exclude Harry from his coronation, as per\u00a0The Times<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

However, royal author Christopher Andersen believes that the Duke would be there.<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite all the bad blood between the brothers, I\u2019m convinced that, when the time does come, William will not be foolish enough to exclude his only sibling, now fifth in line to the throne, from his coronation,\u201d Andersen told\u00a0Fox<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThings probably have never been worse between the brothers than they are now. William and Charles have pretty much made the joint decision to effectively cut Harry out of their lives, at least for the time being. There is no sign of a reconciliation on the horizon. And everyone involved seems to have pretty much come to terms with that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat being said, we have to remember that William is carrying a very heavy psychological burden at the moment,\u201d Andersen continued. \u201cHe is deeply upset that his wife and his father\u00a0are battling cancer\u00a0at the same time. He must keep a brave face not only for his three young children but also for the sake of the monarchy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Realizing that some of his actions were the reason for their strained relationship, Harry regretted writing about William and his wife in\u00a0Spare.<\/em><\/h2>\n

\u201cAlthough Harry is glad he finally got his say on everything that went on with\u00a0Spare<\/em>, there is part of him that has some regrets over it all and the way it was handled,\u201d a source told\u00a0The Mirror.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cHe was still very angry about how he was treated by his family and wanted them to know and felt his book was the only way they\u2019d listen. But looking back, he\u2019s not sure it was handled in the right way and he has faced a lot of criticism for it and hurt his family a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n

The source continued, \u201cHarry still wants to have a relationship with them and is hoping that in 2025, he can make that happen. A lot has gone on since Spare was released and he didn\u2019t update the paperback version. So, he is hopeful he can repair the relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Harry\u2019s 40th birthday, William and Kate sent a greeting through their social media account. Many saw this as a step toward repairing their relationship.<\/p>\n
