Prince Harry ‘felt he was thrown under the bus to make William look good amid rift,’ book claims

The claims were made in a new biography called Finding Freedom

Prince Harry reportedly felt he was “thrown under the bus” by palace staff.

A new biography about Harry and wife Meghan Markle‘s exit from royal life has claimed Harry got upset that his alleged rift with brother Prince William played out so publicly.

Finding Freedom, written by Omid Scobie and Caroline Durand, claims Harry wasn’t happy that people were “working” to make William look good.

Prince Harry ‘upset’ over William rift

A source told the authors: “Harry was upset that it was playing out so publicly and that so much of the information being reported was wrong.

“There had been moments where he felt people working with his brother had put things out there to make William look good, even if it meant throwing Harry under the bus.”

The insider added: “It was a confusing time, and his head was all over the place.”

Last year, Harry admitted he and William are on “different paths” and have “good days and bad days”.

However, the dad-of-one said they would “always be there” for each other and he loves his brother “dearly”.

That level of ignorance I think that perhaps made it very difficult for Meghan.

Royal reporter Omid recently claimed that the Duchess of Sussex left the Royal Family due to racial ignorance.

Omid appeared on Good Morning America to promote his new book.

He said: “In terms of ticking those boxes that may ruffle feathers within an ancient institution such as that of the monarchy, she had really ticked all of them.

“Race did play a role. I myself have also had moments as a bi-racial royal correspondent within the institution.

“I’ll never forget the moment an aide, or a senior aide close to the Queen, said to me, ‘I never would have expected you to speak like that.’

“That level of ignorance I think that perhaps made it very difficult for Meghan.”

“They had no choice other than to leave”

He added: “They had no choice other than to leave.

“They both knew it wasn’t going to continue should they just carry on as they were.”

Since quitting royal life, Meghan and Harry have been living in Los Angeles, California, with their son Archie.
