Harry has gone NUCLEAR!

With The Only Way is Sussex showing no signs of stopping, is it time for William's truth, asks royal biographer Emily Andrews

Enough Harry! Enough of your ‘truth’! One of the great unfairnesses (and there are indeed many) in Prince Harry’s autobiography is that no consideration is given to anyone else’s side of the story.

Indeed, even worse, the Royal Family were reportedly not even given a right of reply to some of his wilder accusations. And it is the relationship with his brother Prince William, or Willy as we now know he calls him, that comes under the most ferocious attack.

The narrative that burns so brightly in Spare is one that is generations old – the much-maligned and put-upon younger sibling and the preferred and venerated elder brother. Bitterness and resentment seem to scorch the page with example after example that first-born William, the heir to Harry’s ‘spare’, received special treatment.

As heir to the throne, William has maintained a dignified silence, because that is what future kings do. Harry surely knew his brother would more or less continue with the Queen’s mantra of ‘never complain, never explain’. But is it finally time for William’s truth? Some royal watchers, including the Duchess of Sussex’s biographer Tom Bower, have called on the Prince of Wales to do a TV interview himself to respond to Harry’s allegations. Tom Bower said, ‘There is no end until the Royal Family puts it down. There is no end until Harry and Meghan are silenced by exposing their nefarious, greedy, money-hunting, fame-hunting ambitions! We are in uncharted territory and the old rules of dignified silence in my view will not end this. It needs to be put down in a very, very brutal manner.’
