7 Bombshell Revelations Prince Harry Made in His New Book

6. William felt “trapped and persecuted” by Charles and Camilla

According to Prince Harry, William was dealing with criticism from the press, which called him “lazy” many times in 2015. Harry found those accusations “grossly unfair” and “obscene” because William and Kate were growing their family at the time, but also because his brother was following his father’s directions.

“Pa and Camilla didn’t like William and Kate drawing attention away from them or their social causes,” Harry wrote in his memoir. “They had openly admonished Willy about it multiple times.”

He gave the example of his sister-in-law being told not to pose with a tennis racket during a certain event because her engagement was taking place at the same time Charles was expected to appear elsewhere. According to Prince Harry, the Royal Family thought a photo of Kate with a racket “would certainly wipe Pa and Camilla off the headlines.”

These restrictions exasperated William and Kate, according to Harry. “My brother told me that both he and Kate felt persecuted and trapped, by the press and by Pa and Camilla.”
