dailyrecord.co.uk:

Prince Harry delivered a 'heart breaking' text to push Prince William away out of fear his team would leak a story to the press, according to a new book.The Sussexes stepped down from the Royal Family in 2020 and relocated to California for personal and financial freedom.The decision came after the Duke and Duchess' TV interview with friend and ITV journalist Tom Bradby, during which Meghan discussed the effects of being scrutinised as part of being in the public eye as a member of the Firm.When Harry and Meghan announced they were leaving their roles as senior royals behind, the Duke and Prince of Wales' relationship appeared to go down with it, the Mirror reports.Since then things seem to have gone from bad to worse between the two brothers, following the release of the Sussexes' bombshell Netflix documentary and Harry's controversial memoir Spare.According to a royal author, William messaged his younger brother the day after the Netflix documentary was released to ask if he could come and see him to which Harry rejected as he replied: "Don’t come".Writing in his new book, Courtiers: The Hidden Power Behind the Crown, journalist Valentine Low said: "He was so concerned that William’s team would leak the visit to the press that he would rather not see his brother than risk it getting into the papers...

To everyone who knew what was going on, this was heartbreaking."The author claims the Sussexes were in a "fragile place" after the ITV interview first aired in October 2019 before they confirmed their plans to move to the US less than three months later.The book features a report from a royal staff member who spoke of Harry's "constant battles" with the media.
