Kate Garraway

Author Kehinde Andrews, who appeared on the Sussexes' Netflix series, called Harry and Meghan 'celebrities' and compared the feud within the family to soap ...

Harry also accused William of being the aggressor during ‘Megxit’, claiming their relationship had become so strained and damaged that his sibling would only ‘scowl’ at him. Charles is obviously the King and the Prince of Wales does not trump the King. But it is his discussion of relationships with family members that is most damaging. The prince also claimed he was innocent of accusations of racism when he was caught on video using the word ‘P***’ to describe an Asian fellow Sandhurst cadet, saying he wasn’t aware that it was a slur and thought it was like calling an American a ‘Yankee’. ITV royal editor Chris Ship said on Good Morning Britain: ‘Talking in the book, as we now know he did, about William in Balmoral had the bigger bedroom and the double bed and he had the wardrobe with the mirrors and I had the shady corner if you like.’ Garraway then added: ‘It sounds so petty though’, to which Chris agreed: ‘It sounds petty’. Expert Richard Fitzwilliams called the claims made in Harry’s book ‘awful’ and ‘fantastical’. ‘Credit to Harry and Meghan, at least they’ve brought out some of the issues of the Royal Family – empire, racism, the press – but now it has descended into a farce, and I think that’s where it should go. We had the Oprah Winfrey interview, an hour of it. He said: ‘There are, after all, no, as it were irrecoverable lines that we’re aware of on racially inappropriate language or behaviour. As soon as my brother had left I moved into the big bedroom.’ Elsewhere, the late Queen’s former press secretary Dickie Arbiter called the book ‘spiteful’ and ‘a load of balderdash’. why is it on the front pages?’.
