Prince Harry recalls asking for a “secret meeting” with his father, the then-Prince Charles and brother, Prince William, when he flew to the UK to attend the funeral of his late grandfather, Prince Philip. Harry’s thoughts were penned in his bombshell memoir, Spare, released in January 2023, where he detailed feeling intimidated by the royal pair.

The Duke of Sussex recalled panicking that they had “changed their minds” about meeting with him while he was back in England, and admitted he “considered giving up” when he believed they weren’t going to come. However, when heading back to the house where his cousins were gathered, Harry spotted William and Charles on their way to meet him.

He wrote: “Then, at last, I saw them. Shoulder to shoulder, striding towards me, they looked grim, almost menacing. More, they looked tightly aligned. My stomach dropped. Normally they’d be squabbling about one thing or another, but now they appeared to be in lockstep – in league. The thought occurred: Hang on, are we meeting for a walk…or a duel?”

Harry also revealed he was scared of meeting with his family, and compared it to “going into battle for the first time”.

The relationship between Prince Harry, Meghan Markle and the Royal Family worsened when they announced they were stepping down as working royals and eventually relocated to the US, signing Netflix and Spotifty deals. But the relationship between the brothers also worsened further when he and Meghan took part in an explosive tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey in March 2021.
