Prince Harry Denies Issuing Statement That Prince William Didn't Bully Him, Meghan Markle Out Of Family

Prince Harry denied his involvement in a joint statement with Prince William denying that the latter bullied him out of the family.

The second part of "Harry & Meghan" was released Thursday. In the last three episodes, the couple talked about their relationship with the royals. Prince Harry made an explosive claim about the allegations that his big brother Prince William bullied them out of the family and that his father may have lied and leaked stories to the press.

In one episode, he recounted the time when he met his father, King Charles, brother Prince William and grandmother Queen Elizabeth after they decided to step back from their royal duties. According to him, the experience was "terrifying."

"It was terrifying to have my brother scream and shout at me, and my father say things that weren't true, and my grandmother quietly sits there and take it all in," he said in the documentary without elaborating what they said to him, New York Post reported.

"Once I got in the car, after the meeting, I was told about a joint statement that had been put out in my name and my brother's name, squashing the story about him bullying us out of the family," he said. "I couldn't believe it. No one had asked me permission to put my name to a statement like that. And I rang [Meghan], and I told her, and she burst into floods of tears. Because within four hours, they were happy to lie to protect my brother, and yet for three years they were never willing to tell the truth to protect us."

In 2020, the Duke of Sussex met with the Prince of Wales, the current king and the late monarch to "talk things through" after he and his wife decided to quit their royal duties. However, before the meeting, there was a story published in The Times claiming that the heir to the throne had a "bullying attitude." The royal siblings released a statement strongly denying the insinuation that Prince William bullied Prince Harry and Markle out of the royal family.

"Despite clear denials, a false story ran in a U.K. newspaper today speculating about the relationship between The Duke of Sussex and The Duke of Cambridge," the Duke of Sussex and Duke of Cambridge's spokesperson said at the time, Town & Country reported. "For brothers who care so deeply about the issues surrounding mental health, the use of inflammatory language in this way is offensive and potentially harmful."

In the final episode, Prince Harry said that he and his wife are moving forward with their lives and are not expecting a genuine apology from his family.

"Harry & Meghan" streams on Netflix.
