PRINCE Harry’s all-out war on the Royal Family went nuclear yesterday after he branded brother William a bully and called his dad King Charles a liar.
The whingeing duke claimed he and wife Meghan deserved an apology from the royals who he accused of being threatened by her popularity.
Despite calls for privacy, Harry even allowed Netflix to screen the moment he received a text from William following his chat with Oprah Winfrey

Astonishingly, Harry, 38, refused to back a Palace statement saying William had not bullied him.
And he accused Wills of screaming and shouting during “terrifying” Megxit talks at Sandringham.
William, 40, has never spoken of their rift and refused to hit back.
Yet privacy-loving Harry, paid an estimated $100million by Netflix to speak, publicly knifed the future King with a series of attacks.
He even allowed Netflix to screen the moment he received a text from William following the controversial Oprah Winfrey chat.
And Harry failed to stick up for Wills when Meghan blasted “your brother” during a row over her High Court privacy case.
Despite claims from Harry it was heartbreaking that William’s aides were briefing against them, Palace insiders point out the Sussexes issued statements that torpedoed Kate and Wills’ tour of Pakistan and Charles’s visit to Oman.
A source told HOAR: “No one from other households was leaking or briefing against them. If it happened, it would come from their own staff who were fed up with the way they were treated.”
In the final three episodes of series Harry & Meghan, the prince:
- ACCUSES the palace of lying to protect William over bully claims;
- SAYS the brothers are separated by a wedge caused by William being heir to the throne;
- BLASTS Wills for being “on the institution’s side”;
- CLAIMS Charles told lies during Megxit settlement talks;
- SAYS Megxit plans were leaked after his email to Charles’s office.
Harry claims the royals were threatened by Meghan’s popularity after her 2018 tour of Australia.
In a coded attack on Kate and William, Harry said: “The issue is when someone who is marrying in, and should be a supporting act is then stealing the limelight or doing the job better than the person born to do this, that upsets people.”
The couple gasp as they recall Meghan appearing on front-page news from a Festival of Remembrance event ahead of royals including the Queen.
James Holt, ex-Royal Household communications officer and now Archewell’s chief executive, claims people in the institution saw that Harry and Meghan would destabilise the power dynamics and so wanted to make them irrelevant.
Harry expressed fury as he compared favourable coverage of Kate with negative stories of Meghan and accused William’s office of leaking and briefing the media.
And his interpretation of the Sandringham summit about Megxit has shocked the Palace.
Conversations at the summit had been kept private for almost three years until now.
After accusing the Palace of keeping Meghan away from talks Harry opened fire on William and Charles. He said: “It was terrifying to have my brother scream and shout at me, and my father say things which weren’t true and my grandmother quietly sit there and sort of take it all in.”
Harry added: “The saddest part of it was this wedge created with my brother, so that he is now on the institution’s side. I understand, right? That’s his inheritance. So to some extent it’s already ingrained in him that part of his responsibility is the survivability and the continuation of this institution.”
Harry also says he refused to support a statement issued on behalf of the brothers denying a story that William had bullied him out of the family. Harry said: “I couldn’t believe it. No one had asked me permission to put my name to a statement like that.
“I rang M and told her and she burst into tears, because within four hours, they were happy to lie to protect my brother.”
Harry added: “There was no other option at this point. I said, ‘We need to get out of here’.”
William’s spokesman would not comment but it is understood many of the claims are denied by people who worked there at the time.
Harry even claims the institution leaked his Megxit plan to the Press after the couple emailed them to Charles’s office in early 2020.
Insiders tell HOAR that Charles stopped speaking to Harry on the phone due to his son’s angry outbursts and pleas for cash.
And Harry claimed his family did not even know he was secretly living at Tyler Perry’s LA mansion for six weeks during lockdown.

Even private behind-closed-doors family talks at the Duke of Edinburgh’s funeral are revealed.
HOAR revealed in April 2020 that the brothers and Charles met at Frogmore Cottage after the funeral. No one has spoken about the private conversation until now.
But referring to his UK return after Megxit, Harry said: “None of us really wanted to have to talk about it at the funeral, but we did.
“I’ve had to make peace with the fact that we’re probably never gonna get genuine accountability or a genuine apology.”
In another attack he said: “It was hard, especially spending time, having chats with my brother and my father, who just focused on the same misinterpretation of the whole situation.” The Netflix crew even recorded the Sussexes watching their appearance on Oprah — while Philip was on his deathbed.
Netflix also captured when Meghan read out the Queen’s “recollections may vary” retort to claims made in the Oprah chat.
And the crew witnessed Harry holding his phone to Meghan, who says: “Wow. H just got a text from his brother.”
Harry hugs Meg and mutters: “I don’t know what to do.”
Cameras also captured the pair talking about their ex-communications secretary, and William and Kate’s aide, Jason Knauf giving evidence in Meghan’s copyright lawsuit against a publisher.
Harry fails to defend Wills when Meghan throws up her hands and says: “It’s your brother”, adding: “I’m not gonna say anything about your brother but it’s so obvious.”
Harry responds: “That’s why I’m now living in a different country.”
Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace last night declined to comment about the docu-series.
