In episode four of the Netflix documentary Harry & Meghan, Prince Harry addressed the breakdown in the relationship between himself, his brother William and the rest of the Royal Family. After taking huge issue with his wife’s portrayal in the media, Harry held crisis talks with the Palace. But when he didn’t feel he got the protection he needed for Meghan, Harry claimed that the “planting” and “leaking” of stories between his and William’s office led to “heartbreak”.
“They thought, ‘Well, why can’t she just deal with it?’ As if to say, ‘Well everyone else has dealt with it, why can’t she just deal with it?’” Harry began.
“But this was different, this was really different,” he continued. “But actually, if you strip all of that away and say, ‘Okay, fine, it was exactly the same,’ so do we still believe that she should’ve just sucked it up like other members of the family?
“Or does one think maybe it’s about time that we stopped?” Harry added, expressing his desire to buck the trend when it came to media perceptions.
He went on: “But no one would have private conversations with the media saying, ‘Enough.’”

Harry said of his father King Charles: “My dad said to me, ‘Darling boy, you can’t take on the media. The media will always be the media.’ And I said, ‘I disagree.’
“I have 30 years’ experience of looking behind the curtain and seeing how this system works and how it runs.
“I mean, just constant briefings about other members of the family, about favours, inviting the press in. It’s a dirty game.”
Harry then said there’s “leaking and planting” of stories in the press when one office wants to remove a negative line.
Harry then claimed he and his brother had made a promise that they would never act in such a way towards each other.
He said: “William and I both saw what happened in our dad’s office and we made an agreement that would never let that happen to our office.”
However, the documentary rolled on to show a Christmas party at Kensington Palace which had become split into “two parties” and it showed a “separation” between the two offices.
News articles reporting on the feud between the two camps then played out in the documentary.
