A royal commentator suggests that Prince William felt more hurt than King Charles after Prince Harry criticised the royal family in his memoir, Spare. Both Charles and William were displeased with Harry’s remarks about their wives.
Royal commentator Hugo Vickers believes William suffered more than his father due to the criticisms in Harry’s book. Vickers noted that King Charles has not responded to any of Harry or Meghan’s comments, demonstrating restraint. However, Vickers posits that William is likely less forgiving, particularly because Harry targeted Catherine, which is distressing.
There remains a possibility that William and Harry might have to appear together publicly in the future, though William is currently more focused on concerns about his wife and father. Another royal commentator, Richard Fitzwilliams, claims Harry’s comments have led the royal family to view the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as untrustworthy.
And they say #PrinceHarry betrayed #ThatFamily by telling his own story in Spare. He didn’t even mention this Boris affair in the book. Imagine the dirt the Duke of Sussex kept from spare to not do undue damage to Willam and Kate, Camilla & Pa. Ungrateful they are!#GoodKingHarry pic.twitter.com/vlP4fWzAOm

Fitzwilliams mentions that Spare painted an unflattering picture of the royals, deepening the rift with Harry’s brother, possibly beyond repair. King Charles reportedly reacted to Harry’s attacks on Queen Camilla by evicting the Sussexes from Frogmore, their UK residence, solidifying their perceived untrustworthiness.
In his memoir, Harry compared Camilla to a “wicked stepmother” and criticised her in other ways. Recent reports suggest Camilla strongly opposes Charles welcoming Harry back into the royal fold.
