Prince Harry revealed a private conversation he shared with his brother, the Prince of Wales, in which he warned Prince William about a “plot” against the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle. The tense exchange came as Harry and Meghan were on the brink of leaving the Royal Family to move to the US.
Harry warned his brother that a previous member of the royal staff was “sabotaging” Meghan by leaking stories to the press.
The Duke admitted that he expected William to “lecture” him, but was surprised when he took Harry’s concerns seriously.
In his memoir ‘Spare’, Harry said he was surprised because “for the first time in a long time my brother heard me out, and I was so grateful”.
He added: “Someone suggested that before I left I should step outside with Willy. Cool our heads. All right. We went up and down the yew hedges.
“The day was freezing. I was wearing only a light jacket, and Willy was in a jumper, so both of us were shivering.
“I was braced for a lecture. It didn’t come. Willy was subdued.
“He wanted to listen. For the first time in a long time my brother heard me out, and I was so grateful. I told him about one past staff member sabotaging Meg. Plotting against her.
“I told him about one current staff member, whose close friend was taking payments for leaking private stuff to the press about Meg and me.
“My sources on this were above reproach, including several journalists and barristers. Plus, I’d made a visit to New Scotland Yard.
“Willy frowned. He and Kate had their own suspicions. He’d look into it. We agreed to keep talking.”
