Prince Harry Reveals Why Secret King Charles And Prince William Meeting Made Him So Nervous

In memoir “Spare,” Harry recalled arranging a meeting with his elder brother and father shortly after he and wife Meghan sat down with Oprah for a tell-all interview that saw them hurl several accusations at the Royal Family. The meeting turned out to be so intense he asked his late mother for strength to get through it.

Prince Harry – Says Talking To King Charles And Prince William Following Oprah Interview Made Him Intensely Vulnerable

Prince Harry’s ‘Spare’ is mostly about the 39-year-old airing his anger and frustration at feeling like he’s always going to come second to his older brother. In fact, Harry went as far as suggesting that he was born to be backup organs for William in case any of his fail.

But perhaps one of the most notable parts of the book was Harry asking to meet with father Charles and brother William shortly after criticizing them on live TV.

The reunion, as anyone can imagine, was an icy one, but what threw Harry off-balance was the united front they put up.

Harry wrote: “At last, I saw them. Shoulder to shoulder, striding towards me, they looked grim, almost menacing. More, they looked tightly aligned. My stomach dropped. Normally they’d be squabbling about one thing or another, but now they appeared to be in lockstep – in league. The thought occurred: Hang on, are we meeting for a walk…or a duel?”

‌He further recalled: “I rose from the wooden bench, made a tentative step towards them, gave a weak smile. They didn’t smile back. Now my heart really started thrashing in my chest. Deep breaths, I told myself.

Apart from fear, I was feeling a kind of hyper-awareness, and a hugely intense vulnerability, which I’d experienced at other key moments of my life. Walking behind my mother’s coffin. Going into battle for the first time. Giving a speech in the middle of a panic attack.”

‌”There was that same sense of embarking on a quest, and not knowing if I was up to it, while also fully knowing that there was no turning back. That Fate was in the saddle. OK, Mummy, I thought, picking up the pace, here goes. Wish me luck. We met in the middle of the path. Willy? Pa? Hello. Harold. Painfully tepid.”

Since ‘Spare’ dropped, Harry’s relationship with his family seems to have gotten even worse, with reports suggesting that not only does William not talk to him, but that he is not open to any future talks or meetings.
