‘Harry and Meghan’: Duke Of Sussex Claims Palace Issued Joint False Statement & Says William “Screamed And Shouted” At Him

Netflix’s second tranche of episodes from its Harry and Meghan doc have dropped and the allegations keep on coming. Among the most explosive moments is when Prince Harry claims his brother Prince William screamed and shouted at him at a family crisis meeting at Sandringham in 2020.

The meeting, to discuss Harry and Meghan’s plans to step away from some royal duties, was held hours before the Royal Family issued a joint statement he claims was issued without his approval. “It was terrifying to have my brother scream and shout at me and my father say things that simply weren’t true, and my grandmother quietly sit there and take it all in,” he adds. “But you have to understand that from the family’s perspective, especially from hers, there are ways of doing things and her ultimate mission slash responsibility is the institution.” The meeting had been called after a newspaper story claimed Harry and Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex, were partly planning to leave the UK and much of their royal duties behind because they had been bullied by William.

Harry then goes on to say an angry official denial from the Palace over the story, which it labelled as “false, offensive and potentially harmful” was issued just hours later. “Once I got in the car after the meeting, I was told about a joint statement that had been put out in my name and my brother’s name, squashing the story about him bullying us out of the family. “I couldn’t believe it,” he says. “No one had asked me permission to put my name to a statement like that.
