For the previous two years the Duke of Sussex’s anger with everyone from the British press to his own family had become all-out war.
As Harry's relationship with courtiers and the Royal Family crumbled, he infamously went public on his feud with brother William. During an ITV interview he gave during his and Meghan's 2019 tour of South Africa (just months before they sensationally quit as working royals), he dropped the bombshell that the brothers' bond was experiencing 'good days' and 'bad days'.
Afterwards, Prince William tried to reach out to his younger brother but was rebuffed after Harry feared the meeting would be leaked.
Wanting to find his freedom, Harry decided to spend Christmas 2019 in Vancouver, Canada, with wife Meghan and baby Archie.
Surely there, miles from home, he could find peace? But now it can be revealed that he suspected his brother of the ultimate betrayal.
He feared the partner of William's top aide was leaking stories about him and Meghan to one particular newspaper.
Pretty soon after Harry had written a private letter to his father Charles, asking to step back from royal duties and offering to give up their Sussex titles, the explosive 'Megxit' story appeared in the papers.
The rift with his family wasn't just deepened - it was blown asunder. In the highly charged stakes of the 'Sandringham Summit', he could not forgive the Palace or his family for what had happened.
