The Duke of Sussex and the Prince of Wales's relationship has deteriorated since Harry stepped down as a working royal in 2020

Prince William is "washing his hands" of Prince Harry after a recent TV interview left him furious, according to a source.

The Duke of Sussex featured in an ITV documentary titled Tabloids on Trial in July.


Prince Harry discussed his own and his mother Princess Diana's experiences with the press in the documentary.

The Duke of Sussex said regarding the late princess: "There's evidence to suggest that (my mother) was being hacked in the mid-90s, probably one of the first people to be hacked.

"And yet still today, the tabloid press very much enjoy painting her as being paranoid. But she wasn't paranoid."

However, Harry's comments are said to have infuriated his older brother, Prince William, according to a source.

The source told Australian magazine New Idea: "William is spitting mad that Harry would reference this again.

"He's so fed up with (the Sussexes) cashing in on Diana's death.

They continued: "Harry just won't move on and it appears that since marrying Meghan, the obsession with his mother has only intensified.

"William's getting to the point where he's washing his hands of Harry for good."

The Duke of Sussex and the Prince of Wales's relationship has deteriorated since Harry stepped down as a working royal in 2020 and the brothers have not seen each other in over a year.

During the ITV documentary, Prince Harry opened up on his "destroyed" relationship with his family.

Journalist Rebecca Barry asked the royal: "To what extent do you think your determination to fight the tabloids destroyed your relationship with your family?"

Prince Harry replied: "It is certainly a central piece to it.

"It is a hard question to answer because anything I say about my family results in a torrent of abuse from the press. I have made it very clear that this is something that needs to be done.

"It would be nice if we did it as a family, I believe from a service standpoint and when you are in a public role these are the things we should be doing for the greater good. I am doing this for my reasons."

Barry then asked: "What do you think of their decision not to fight in the way you have?"

Harry said: "I think that everything that has played out has shown people what the truth of the matter is, for me the mission continues. I think as you say, it has caused part of a rift."
