Prince William Screamed at Prince Harry During a Meeting About Stepping Back as Senior Royals

It's no secret that tensions between the two once-close brothers has been bubbling, but Harry reveals for the first time just how heated discussions became. During an urgent meeting in Sandringham to discuss the logistics of Harry and Meghan stepping back as senior royals, Harry proposed having a "half in, half out" position where they would have their own jobs and still work in support of the Queen, all at their own expense. But this was not up for debate.

"It was terrifying to have my brother scream and shout at me and my father say things that just simply weren't true and my grandmother, you know, quietly sit there, and sort of take it all in," Harry says. "But you have to understand that, from the family's perspective, especially from hers, there are ways of doing things and her ultimate mission goal / responsibility is the institution."

William, as heir to the throne, has a responsibility to keep the institution thriving, but Harry alludes it has come at the expense of their bond. He says, "The saddest part of it was this wedge created between myself and my brother."
