Prince Harry seemingly left no stone unturned when he aired his feelings about the Royal Family, and his strained relationship with Prince William and King Charles.

Whether in his memoir Spare, or in his Oprah TV interview or in the Harry and Meghan Netflix series, the Duke of Sussex has taken a no-holds-barred approach to detailing private moments with his family. But while it may seem that Harry has been spilling all the royal secrets and feuds, according to him he has been doing the opposite.

Following the release of Spare in January 2023, he spoke to the Telegraph and made an unexpected claim that he had actually omitted a number of stories about his father and brother.

He said: "It could have been two books, put it that way. And the hard bit was taking things out. There are some things that have happened, especially between me and my brother, and to some extent between me and my father, that I just don't want the world to know. Because I don't think they would ever forgive me."

Whilst Harry may have removed certain anecdotes, the stories he did choose weren’t easy to digest for his relatives. They still drove a huge wedge between the Sussexes and the rest of the royals. So much so that experts have said that Prince William no interest in meeting up with his sibling.

Royal expert Tom Quinn told The Mirror: "Harry's visit to the UK has done nothing to repair royal relations – Harry has been very publicly snubbed by his father and brother. [William] says nothing. It is as if Harry no longer exists. There's been no obvious criticism from either side, but the silence from William is deafening."

In early May, when Harry came back to the UK, there were rumours that King Charles was “wary” of meeting his youngest son because of the "publicity circus" surrounding their relationship. An insider told The Times: "It's all very sad. While it is true that the King is understandably wary about meeting with Harry, given the publicity circus that seems to surround all such visits, he did of course agree to see his son at the most vulnerable moment of his illness [in February], and at very short notice.

"While he was hardly going to roll out the red carpet the moment this Invictus trip was announced, with doctors advising him to focus on his treatment and recovery, the idea that he refused to find space in his diary … well, let's say recollections may vary once again."

Friends of the King continue to stress that, to the best of their understanding, Harry neither requested to see his father nor invited him to attend his service at St Paul's Cathedral to celebrate the Invictus anniversary. The last time Harry saw his dad - and only time since his coronation last year - was in early February for a half-hour meeting after Charles revealed his cancer diagnosis .
