It\u2019s been revealed how Prince William and Kate privately reacted to Prince Harry\u2019s dramatic departure from royal life when he quit The Firm six years ago.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
New intimate details have emerged in the new royal biography, William and Catherine: The Intimate Inside Story, <\/em>written by Mirror royal editor Russell Myers and set to be published on March 10.<\/p>\n Excerpts from the new book were released in The Mirror, and divulged details about Prince William\u2019s true feelings about the highly publicised exit of his younger brother Harry.<\/p>\n \u201cWilliam was intensely saddened at his brother\u2019s decision to quit. He and Harry had been drifting apart for years, but now he knew deep down that there would be no turning back,\u201d Myers wrote.<\/p>\n William treasured the childhood he had with Harry and the pair were bonded together by their mother\u2019s death and growing up in the public eye \u2013 but the brothers have since been divided with their relationship “tarnished”.<\/p>\n Myers described the Princess of Wales as “an outsider” who had witnessed the breakdown of William and Harry\u2019s relationship.<\/p>\n According to the author, Kate also allegedly believed Harry and Meghan had an \u201cagenda\u201d as their increasingly \u201cdifficult\u201d behaviour departed from the royal values William and Kate embodied after their wedding in 2018.<\/p>\n She also believed the couple had become embroiled in bitterness at having to follow royal protocol and the hierarchy of the monarchy \u2013 therefore she was not surprised when Harry and Megan announced their departure and moved to California.<\/p>\n However, Kate believed the divide between the monarchy\u2019s \u201cheir and spare\u201d made Harry\u2019s exit unavoidable.<\/p>\n As tensions worsened, she reportedly stopped trying to mediate, accepting she \u201ccould do no more\u201d to reunite the brothers, with Harry “wanting more from his role than being a bit-part player”.<\/p>\n
