Prince William and Prince Harry’s strained relationship is said to have originated with a phone call, according to royal author Robert Lacey in his 2020 book Battle of the Brothers. The call, centered around bullying allegations against Meghan Markle, escalated quickly when William confronted his younger brother. Lacey describes the conversation as becoming “super heated,” with Harry eventually hanging up angrily. Following the call, William reportedly tried to speak to Harry in person, but their relationship had already taken a hit. Lacey claims that after the heated exchange, William made the decisive move to “pull the plug” on their relationship and ended their shared household arrangement. While Harry appeared to be the one to visibly depart, Lacey argues that it was actually William who made the final break. In 2020, Harry and Meghan stepped back from their royal duties and moved to California, and since then, reports have suggested that William remains unwilling to forgive his brother.
