The ‘devastated’ Prince of Wales ‘cannot forgive’ Prince Harry for the things he has written in his new book, Spare, a royal expert has claimed.
The Duke of Sussex, in his bombshell memoir, details how Prince William was ‘shouting’ and ‘really steaming’ when he grasped at him during the dispute in front of then-Prince Charles following the funeral of their grandfather, Prince Philip.
Elsewhere, Harry claims in his book that a ‘piping hot’ William once injured him by pushing him onto a dog bowl on the kitchen floor of his cottage home in the grounds of Kensington Palace in 2019.
Vanity Fair’s Katie Nicholl told Page Six that, per her sources: ‘William’s privately seething and devastated by what Harry has done….[the royals] have been taken aback by the level of detail and just how far Harry has gone in all of this.’

She added that she doesn’t believe a reconciliation will be found for the brothers.
Katie added: ‘It really feels like a line has been crossed.’
Prince William’s friends referred to the future king as a ‘sitting duck’, saying Prince Harry knows his brother knows won’t respond to the bombshell accusations made in Spare.
Despite Prince Harry’s explosive Oprah Winfrey interview with Meghan, the Netflix documentary and now inflamed memoir Spare, Prince William’s friends, according to The Sunday Times, say he will continue to keep his silence.

So far, William has not responded to the accusations because, as a friend of William explained, revenge is not he rolls as he is ‘dignified and unbelievably loyal.’
The friend, in question, told The Sunday Times: ‘It’s cruel, cowardly and so sad for William to keep taking the punches. He’s keeping quiet for the good of his family and the country.’
They explained that he is contemplating Harry’s explosive 416 pages of revelations, he is anxious and sad, but concentrating on his family and making sure they are okay.
The friend went out to state: ‘He’s handling it so well on the outside – inside he’s burning.’
This was reiterated to the publication by another friend who described how the Prince of Wales will be going through a range of emotions and will be thinking strategically and weighing up his personal feeling against the institutional reaction.

His companion detailed William’s desire to follow his grandmother’s example, and so the institutional response could win over his personal feelings, ‘but he is staunchly protective of his own family, and he’s not just going to roll over.’
It comes as the Duke launched an extraordinary publicity blitz for his new memoir, in which he accused his family of being ‘complicit’ in the ‘pain and suffering’ inflicted on his wife and compared them to ‘abusers’.
In a bombshell interview to plug his memoir, he suggested they helped to ‘trash’ his and Meghan’s reputations, forcing them to move to California, and have ‘shown no willingness to reconcile’.

The prince’s astonishing claims came in a 90-minute discussion with ITV presenter and old friend Tom Bradby. While he accused his family of ‘getting in bed with the devil’, he conceded they were not racist, although he believes them guilty of ‘unconscious bias’.
Harry backed the Queen’s former lady in waiting, Lady Susan Hussey, who was embroiled in a toxic race row last month, saying she ‘never meant any harm’.
Harry was not paid for Sunday night’s interview, which saw him alternate between answering questions from Bradby and reading sections from his memoir.
In a later interview with CBS’s Anderson Cooper in the US, Harry also had harsh words for Camilla, who he accused of being a ‘villain’ who ‘needed to rehabilitate her image’.
He added that she was ‘dangerous’ and leaking stories to the media in a bid to get the crown.

Harry added that his brother William ‘raised some concerns’ about his marriage to Meghan before their wedding in May 2018.
He said: ‘He never tried to dissuade me from marrying Meghan, but he aired some concerns very early, and said ‘this is going to be really hard for you’ and I still to this day don’t truly understand which part of what he was talking about.
‘Maybe he predicted what the British press’s reaction was going to be.’
Kate and Meghan did not get on from day one, while ‘stereotyping’ prevented the American actress from being properly welcomed into the royal family, Harry said.
The Duke said that there was a ‘lot of stereotyping’ of Meghan after she was introduced to the Royal Family, because she is an ‘American actress, divorced, biracial’, adding that even he was ‘guilty’ of it.
Harry and Bradby joked about how, after he introduced Meghan to his family, he discovered his family were fans of Suits, the show that she starred in during her time as an actress.
But he said it was ‘fair’ to say that, according to Bradby, ‘almost from the get-go it’s just that they don’t get on.’
Asked why that was, he said: ‘Lots of – lots of different reasons but I – look, as I again detail a lot, I had put a lot of hope in the idea that, you know, it’d be William and Kate and me and whoever.
‘I thought the – you know, the four of us would, you know, bring me and William closer together, we could go out and do work together, um, which I did a lot as the third wheel to them, um, which was fun at times but also, I guess slightly awkward at times as well.
‘But um yeah, I think – I don’t think they were ever expecting me to get – or to become – to get into a relationship with – with someone like Meghan who had, you know, a very successful career.
He added: ‘There was a lot of stereotyping that was happening, that I was guilty of as well, at the beginning.’
He said the ‘stereotyping’ of Meghan, in part by William and Kate, was causing a ‘barrier’ to his family, preventing them from ‘welcoming her in.’
Asked what he meant, he said: ‘Well, American actress, divorced, biracial, there’s – there’s all different parts to that and what that can mean but if you are, like a lot of my family do, if you are reading the press, the British tabloids, [Yeah] at the same time as living the life, then there is a tendency where you could actually end up living in the tabloid bubble rather than the actual reality.’
