Prince William allegedly bullied his younger brother Prince Harry out of the royal family.

Dan Wootton of The Sun covered the relationship between the Duke of Cambridge and Duke of Sussex. According to the editor, the royal siblings have a “tense and deeply damaged” relationship following a series of furious rows.

Prince Harry and Prince William were very close growing up and they remained close even after the latter married Kate Middleton. Prince Harry was frequently spotted with his brother and sister-in-law that some called him the Cambridges’ third wheel.

However, they reportedly had a falling-out and since then their relationship has never recovered. In July 2019, the Cambridges and Sussexes were all photographed at the King Power Royal Charity Polo Day. The two dukes played polo while Middleton and Meghan Markle watched their husbands’ game. Middleton brought along her three kids Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis. Meanwhile, Markle was photographed cradling baby Archie.

Prince William reportedly accused Prince Harry of “changing” and “speaking rudely to staff.” Prior to their joint appearance at the polo match, Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s son allegedly had a row.

“If you are Meghan and Harry and you’ve had two years of constantly being told your place, constantly bullied as they would see it, constantly being told what you can’t do, Meghan has been thinking, ‘This is just nuts. Why would anyone put up with this?’” a source told The Times.

Sources insisted that Prince Harry and Prince William are no longer close. However, they do not agree with the bullying claims against the future king.

Prince William and Prince Harry denied the rumored feud between them. They released a joint statement prior to the royal family’s crisis talks.

In their statement sent to CNN, the royal siblings admitted that the speculations are false. They also admitted that they found the use of “inflammatory language,” referring to bullying, offensive and harmful especially since both royals are mental health advocates.

Prince William and Prince Harry were spotted leaving Sandringham in separate cars after their crisis talks with Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles. The Prince of Wales also took off on his own.
