The rupture between Prince William and Prince Harry It’s far worse than one might think, while Megan was treated horribly by the Palace, states Robert Lacey in his already much-discussed book “Battle of Brothers: William, Harry and the inside story of a family in tumult,” which is will release on October 20.
Of course, rivers of ink have been spilled and so far countless opinions have been heard about the crisis that brought the arrival of the cast of actors to Buckingham. But when those words are yours Robert Lacey, who is considered the official biographer of Queen Elizabeth and is the historical adviser to the popular series “Crown” on Netflix, carries another weight. In an interview with the “Daily Mail”, the author warns that the bad relations between the two brothers are as threatening for the British monarchy as was the scandal of the resignation of King Edward VII from the throne in 1936 and the death of the princess Dai.
The book that was never read
When in 1977 the then journalist Lacey was writing the most faithful biography of Queen Elizabeth that has ever been published, he had a perfect collaboration with the Palace where he was even invited for tea by high officials. As he does to this day, he did not allow any vetoes on the content of his book, but allowed those directly concerned to read some of the controversial chapters before publication so that if there were disagreements, they could resolve them.
THE envelope with the “hot” funds he sent to Buckingham this time however, it was returned sealed. The Palace did not want to know what he was writing. Because the book is called “The Battle of the Brothers” and speaks in revealing details about the enmity that reigns between Prince William and Prince Harry. This reaction from the palace towards a previously respected and trusted author, whose wife was, in fact, one of the Bridesmaids at Elizabeth’s coronation, says a lot, Robert Lacey believes.
“But the title of the book is correct and important. When I started to deal with this supposed animosity between them, I didn’t believe it. I thought they were made up of the press. I didn’t want to believe it, to be honest. Nobody does. But it certainly exists.” It’s actually worse than you think, “says the biographer. “It just came to our knowledge then. But historians will not believe the same in ten years. If the gap between the two brothers is not bridged in some way, it will be one of the wounds that changed the monarchy, such as the resignation of 1936 and the death of Princess Diana “There is time to improve the situation but the Palace has no intention.”
For the other book that occupied the Palace very recently, “Finding Freedom” by Omid Scobby, Carolyn DurandRobert Lacey believes that they tell the story of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex from their own side, according to traditional protocol that wants the author to sanctify the Blue Bloods and that the pair certainly guided the writers. To put it bluntly, “some descriptions could have come out of Harry’s or Megan’s mouths.”
For his own book, on the other hand, Robert Lacey spent months talking to people within the palace’s closed circle, who, with his reputation, had no difficulty trusting him, although he did not reveal their names. And he insists that the relationship between the two princes is crucial to the future of the British royal family. “It is a question of values, even of national opinion. The idea of a modern royal regime was based on these two brothers. Megan changed all that. She is difficult. She has an incredible and dangerous confidence in herself ”, criticizes the author of the Duchess of Sussex, while blaming the Palace for never treating her second children well: “It happened to Princess Margaret. And with Prince Andrew. He is the classic, the successor and the one that remains. They don’t know what to do with him.” And they certainly didn’t know what to do with his wife.
According to the “Daily Mail” article in this book, Robert Lacey does not reserve any favorable treatment. Describing the former Duke and Duchess of Sussex as pathetic, William says he has the gene for duty, but has terrible nerves and does not hesitate to criticize even the queen. Especially for the “unfortunate and hurt Harry” He believes he found a way out in Megan, a new destiny in his life after realizing that somewhere deep down there was something wrong with being a member of the royal regime that didn’t suit him.
As for Megan, the author of the infamous book states: “There is only one self-made millionaire in the royal family and that is Megan Markle. If they had sat down and talked to her from the beginning, asking her what her interests were, things might have been different. They made the mistake of believing that he was an ordinary member of the Palace. It will never happen to her, nor should it “says Robert Lacey, berating Buckingham’s failure to keep the recruit mix.
Warning that tomorrow’s history is being written today, Robert Lacey believes that the reins are more in the hands of the second heir to the British throne. But “does Prince William want to go down in history as the king who couldn’t keep his family together?” “These problems must be solved in some way.”
