When Prince Harry released his bombshell memoir Spare in 2023, the world was shocked by claims regarding Princess Kate and Meghan Markleâs reported feud.
While the Princess of Wales and the Duchess of Sussex had been spotted smiling together at public events like Christmas Day and the Wimbledon Championships in 2018, Harryâs book painted a very different picture behind closed doors. The royal women were last pictured together at Queen Elizabeth IIâs funeral in 2022 and have not been photographed together since.Â
However, with Harry and Meghan returning to the UK in August 2026 alongside their two children, could a reconciliation be on the cards? Letâs look back at what Harry revealed in his tell-all memoirâŠ
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex with the Prince and Princess of Wales
In his book, the Duke of Sussex explained how his wife Meghan Markle upset the Princess of Wales by suggesting that she had âbaby brainâ in the run-up to the 2018 royal wedding.
Harry claimed that the conversation took place during a phone call about wedding rehearsals. When Kate told Meghan that she had forgotten something amid the planning, Meghan reportedly told Kate that she had âbaby brainâ.
Princess Kate, who suffered from hyperemesis gravidarum, a condition caused by hormone imbalance, had recently given birth to Louis.
The Duke of Sussex alleged that the comment sparked a mini-feud between the two royal ladies, resulting in Meghan crying.
Prince Harry further claimed that his brother Prince William reprimanded Meghan over her triggering comments. He explained how William pointed a finger at the former Suits actress and said that her ârudeâ remark fell short of royal protocol.
In his book, Harry claims that his sister-in-law was left distraught by Meghanâs remark, arguing that the two women werenât close enough to discuss Kateâs hormones.
William and Harry are not believed to be on speaking terms
Elsewhere, the father-of-two shared a glimpse into his altercation with Prince William. Harry claimed that William turned up âpiping hotâ to a pre-arranged meeting between the brothers to discuss âthe whole rolling catastropheâ of their relationship.
Harry moreover claimed that William had called his wife Meghan Markle âdifficultâ, ârudeâ and âabrasiveâ â comments which the younger brother said parroted âthe press narrativeâ about his wife.
The leaked extracts also included an allegation that the Prince of Wales physically assaulted Harry in 2019. Harry alleged that he was left with a visible injury to his back after William grabbed him by the collar and ripped his necklace before knocking him to the floor.
