A furious Prince William threw Harry out of his royal household after learning of a “dossier” of alleged bullying by Meghan Markle, a book claimed.
Historian Robert Lacey claimed an angry phone call between the brothers ended in Harry hanging up as they clashed over claims the Duchess of Sussex left at least one worker suffering post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to the “toxic” environment. Harry defended his wife, and the Sussexes denied allegations of bullying, saying Meghan was the victim of a “smear campaign”. William “went ballistic” when he heard the allegations, and later instructed his private secretary, Simon Case, to begin dividing their households “immediately”, it was claimed.
In Lacey’s book Battle of Brothers, published in 2021, a friend claimed: “William threw Harry out.” The younger brother, the book says, was upset that William had considered the claims credible. According to Lacey, the brothers’ joint communications secretary, Jason Knauf, had decided to speak up for staff after hearing claims of mistreatment by the Duchess of Sussex. He compiled a dossier outlining allegations, which was sent to the Duke of Cambridge’s private secretary.
