'Fab Four' ended after Prince Harry 'read William and Kate riot act over Meghan'
Prince William and Prince Harry along with their wives Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle became known as the 'Fab Four' as they often attend royal engagements as a foursome. In recent years, the royal brothers' relationship has strained, with Prince Harry revealing some shocking anecdotes in his memoir Spare that only added fuel to the fire.
But where did it all go wrong for the two couples? It has been claimed that the 'Fab Four' split when Prince Harry accused his brother and sister-in-law of failing to support his wife. The confrontation allegedly led to a 'showdown', which saw Harry read the "riot act" to the now Prince and Princess of Wales after their children had gone to bed.
During the speech, Meghan reportedly kept a "stony silence", which allegedly took William and Kate by surprise. It is claimed that the couple assured Harry they were more than happy to offer more support, and the next day, Kate even reportedly sent flowers to their home the following day.
The Duchess of Cambridge also offered to go to Wimbledon with her new sister-in-law following Harry's "riot act" speech last year, according to the Mail on Sunday, which reported the claims, citing unnamed sources. Some sources claim the two families are still drifting apart, the report added. However, a royal source told Mirror Online the claims were "nonsense".
A spokesperson for the Royal Family declined to comment. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved away from Kensington Palace, split from William and Kate's royal household and left the foursome's charity to start their own. They were originally dubbed the 'Fab Four' following their first public appearances together.
