<\/p>\n Prince William and Prince Harry are not on speaking terms following the latter’s exit from the royal family. Once close, the brothers now go out of their way to avoid acknowledging each other at public events. <\/a>Royal author Omid Scobie revealed that the Prince of Wales has a brutal nickname for the Duke\u2014allegedly calling him a \u2018defector\u2019 as he chose to pursue a new life in America.<\/p>\n Article continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/p>\n It’s no surprise that William is furious at Harry, following his bombshell revelations of his brother hitting him in his memoir, Spare. As reported by the Daily Express<\/a>, Scobie, in his book Endgame, shared, \u201cI was talking to a source quite early on in the process, and they called Harry a ‘defector’ and said that was William’s view. These were two men who, once upon a time, were firmly aligned in their outlook. One of them had to move on to also protect the Crown.\u201d <\/p>\n Article continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The author adds that a source told him that William believed Harry had been \u2018brainwashed\u2019 by an \u2018army of therapists\u2019 and that he no longer recognized his brother. This claim was also echoed by Harry in his memoir, Spare. In an excerpt published by The Sun<\/a>, he wrote, \u201cI reminded him that I was doing therapy. In fact, he had recently told me he wanted to accompany me to a session because he suspected I was being \u2018brainwashed.’\u201d Harry added, \u201cAfter months of therapy, after working hard to become more aware, more independent, I was a stranger to my older brother. He could no longer relate to me \u2014 tolerate me.\u201d<\/p>\n Article continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Additionally, an excerpt from Endgame reveals that William didn’t even bother to reply to Harry’s texts on the day the Queen died.<\/a> Scobie wrote, \u201cRumors of the Queen\u2019s passing were rife at this point\u2026 His father doesn\u2019t carry a cell phone, and his brother wasn\u2019t acknowledging his existence.\u201d He also alleged that there were empty seats on William\u2019s chartered private jet, but “Harry was left to fend for himself.\u201d<\/p>\n Article continues below advertisement<\/p>\n Harry has also used his fair share of crude words for his brother William. In his memoir, Spare, he referred to his \u2018beloved brother\u2019 as his \u2018arch nemesis\u2019 and alluded to a \u2018weird\u2019 competition between them. The cruel two-word jab resurfaced during his interview with Good Morning America <\/a>with Michael Strahan, where he used the term to refer to William once again. In a separate incident, Harry told ITVX<\/a> that he and his brother were on \u2018different paths\u2019 but that he still loved him dearly. Much like his brother, their father, King Charles III, has also avoided meeting Harry during his brief visits to the UK.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Source: Getty Images | Yui Mok – WPA Pool Prince William and Prince Harry arrive for the unveiling…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":11254,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7708],"tags":[7709,7714,7713,7716,533,1501,2832,532,2831,7710,519,7711,7712],"class_list":{"0":"post-11253","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-royals","8":"tag-british-royal-family","9":"tag-catherine","10":"tag-catherine-middleton","11":"tag-heirs-spares","12":"tag-kate-middleton","13":"tag-latest-news","14":"tag-prince-of-wales","15":"tag-prince-william","16":"tag-princess-of-wales","17":"tag-royal-families","18":"tag-royal-family","19":"tag-uk-royal-family","20":"tag-william"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114320400174383928","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11253","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11253"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11253\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11254"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11253"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11253"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11253"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
