Harry branded a 'very angry man' after 'Olympic royal row' with Prince William
Prince Harry was described by a friend as a "very, very angry man" after having "Olympic rows" with his brother Prince William, a new book has claimed.
Tina Brown, the author of The Palace Papers: Inside The House Of Windsor - The Truth And The Turmoil, claims "friction" between the Duke of Sussex and the Prince of Wales "escalated" after William became patron of the rhino and elephant charity the Tusk Trust in 2005. According to the writer, the pair had "Olympic rows" as there were tensions over their "professional alignments".
She writes: "William knew he had to be respectful of hierarchy when it came to his father's ownership of the environmental platform, but he was less willing to accede to his brother." The author goes on to claim that Harry felt his brother was "hogging the best briefs" and there was a rivalry between them over their joint interests in Africa and conservation.

The royal writer also claims Harry's ex-girlfriend Cressida Bonas was "tiresome" of his complaints about his family while they were dated - adding that she was the first person to persuade him to see a therapist. Quoting one of the woman's contacts, Ms Brown says Harry wrote his ex "a sweet letter" saying: "I admire you, I wish you well and above all thank you for helping me to address my demons and seek help."

The latest claims come amid new royal bombshells revealed by biographer Omid Scobie in his new book Endgame. According to some excerpts published by French magazine Paris Match, there more claims about Harry and Meghan's ongoing feud with the likes of William, Kate and Charles.
According to the book, Meghan Markle "never wants to set foot again in England" as she "never felt at home". However, despite Meghan's dislike of England and the fact that she does not want to return, as per Omid Scobie's new book, the Sussexes are said to be keeping King Charles "up to date with their family life by sending him photos of the children", with their bond not completely shattered.
Mr Scobie also claims that William's wife Catherine "shudders and giggles" when she hears Meghan's name. According to the serialisation in French magazine Paris Match, a close friend of the couple says: "She [Kate] spent more time talking about Meghan… than with Meghan." The source adds that the two women have no longer communicated directly since the end of 2019 but says: "Every time she hears about Meghan, Kate shudders and giggles."
Meanwhile, the new excerpts also have new claims about Harry and Meghan's eviction from the UK home Frogmore Cottage earlier this year. The property was gifted to the Sussexes by the late Queen after their wedding in 2018 but earlier this year it was revealed it was being taken off with them and Harry and Meghan confirmed they had been "asked to vacate" it.

But the new serialisation claims that Harry begged to be allowed use of Frogmore Cottage on the Windsor estate when he and Meghan visit the UK.
Another bombshell claim about the King is that he did not respond to a desperate "meeting request" from Harry, and instead ordered "an assistant to get rid of him with the excuse that he was overworked". The plea from Harry came when communications had already become strained, with father and son having reportedly barely exchanged two words over the phone the Christmas before. Three weeks after the meeting request was turned down Harry published his controversial autobiography Spare, reportedly leaving his father in a state of shock.
