Prince Harry’s relationship with the Royal Family “collapsed” after the duke released his bombshell memoir Spare, GB News’ Digital Royal Editor has claimed.
The 39-year-old’s autobiography, which was released in January 2023, had a torrent of shocking claims made about Kate, William, King Charles and Queen Camilla.
Harry also wrote that his brother was critical of his wife Meghan Markle, whom with he relocated to the United States in 2020, and that William allegedly called her “difficult”, “rude” and “abrasive”.
Now, the relationship between Harry and his family has deteriorated and Kate and William feel like they cannot trust him again, GB News' Digital Royal Editor, Svar Nanan-Sen has said.

He sat down with GB News’ Royal Correspondent Cameron Walker for this week’s episode of The Royal Record to discuss the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s new approach to life as the prince’s 40th birthday looms.
Cameron said that Harry, his brother and Kate used to be a “dream team”, referencing a particular moment when the trio came together for their Heads Together campaign as part of the Royal Foundation, back in 2016. All three were seen laughing as they donned bright blue headbands as they cheered on London Marathon runners, their close bond extremely apparent.
However, now, that seems to have all faded away. Cameron explained: “Now it looks like Harry and William are not on speaking terms. They haven't spoken, we don't think, since the late Queen's funeral - if at all then.
“There doesn't seem to be any indication at the moment from either side that there's going to be any kind of talks for peace.”
LATEST DEVELOPMENTS:
Prince William and Prince Harry have been embroiled in a bitter feudGettySvar added that Harry’s memoir is at the centre of the fallout, which left members of the firm “furious” following its publishing.
Soon after it was released, the King asked Harry and Meghan to vacate Frogmore cottage, their base in the UK.
Svar said: “Spare is central to that [the fallout]. One, because it's Harry's autobiography of his life and so it's his words and his take on a lot of things. But also it was pivotal in the collapse of his relationship with Catherine, William, and the King.
“We know that King Charles was left furious about some of the comments Harry made about Camilla in Spare."
In one chapter, Harry referred to Queen Camilla as his "wicked stepmother”, and later he called her the “other woman”, saying meeting her was like an “injection”.

A friend of Camilla later revealed that she was left “hurt” by the remarks, and Charles reportedly asked Harry to stop “leaking” personal details about the private life of the family.
Moving on to discuss William and Kate, Svar said “They haven't spoken since Spare was published.
“There were such personal details about their fallout in that book that royal sources say it made William and Catherine feel that they can't trust him again.
“And how would they get back to being relaxed and trusting him when it could very well end up in a Spare part two?”
Last week, it was announced that the Duke of Sussex's memoir Spare would be re-released as a paperback version in October.
However, the publisher confirmed that no new bombshell chapters would be included.
