The Duke of Sussex claimed on air that his estranged family was allegedly behind the removal of his state-funded security to &#8216;trap&#8217; him in the Firm and dissuade the move to the US.

Following his bombshell claims, a source close to William told the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/prince-william-plans-to-exact-vengeance-on-vile-harry-and-meghan-as-king\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Daily Beast<\/a> that the Prince thinks Harry and Meghan Markle\u2019s conduct has been &#8216;absolutely vile&#8217;. The insider added that Harry, in his interview, suggested \u201che [William] has no interest in reconciling.\u201d The source stressed that even if William did, &#8220;a period of silence would have been the right thing to do.\u201d The outlet reports that William and King Charles have chosen to go on with their public duties since the interview. They were seen united with the rest of the royal family on the Buckingham Palace balcony to view the flypasts for Victory in Europe (VE) Day on 5 May. <\/p>\n<p>Article continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Harry had also alleged that the royal family \u201csignaled to every single government around the world not to protect [Markle and their kids].\u201d As per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thedailybeast.com\/prince-william-plans-to-exact-vengeance-on-vile-harry-and-meghan-as-king\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Daily Beast<\/a>, in light of the same, the Prince of Wales has reportedly &#8216;had enough&#8217; of his younger brother&#8217;s antics. A former courtier revealed that William strongly believes Harry must be &#8216;completely cut off&#8217; from the Firm. The source added, \u201cThe chaos of a royal succession is always a good moment to make decisive changes. It will be among the first things he [William] will do.\u201d Reportedly, the Prince of Wales plans to strip the Sussexes of their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theroyalobserver.com\/p\/royal-expert-says-harry-and-williams-feud-deepens-over-one-word-and-it-involves-meghan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">titles<\/a> once he becomes King.<\/p>\n<p>Article continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>The allegations reportedly made by William\u2019s friend were also echoed by another royal source.

There is certainly no incentive to do so when he is so free to openly criticize and only ever present one view, being his.\u201d Reportedly, senior members of the royal family had allegedly warned Harry to cease any public attacks on the family if he wanted to mend fences with Charles and William.<\/p>\n<p>Article continues below advertisement<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>Interestingly, Harry did admit in his interview that he wants to \u2018reconcile\u2019 with his estranged family.
