Prince Harry revealed the hurtful comments that Prince William made during a rare joint interview, which stuck with him years later.

The Duke of Sussex indicated there were signs that his relationship with his brother had become fractured, way before they officially fell out. Harry, now 40, shared there were two specific things that William said about his productivity at RAF Shawbury in 2009.

Harry opened up in his memoir, Spare, and said his brother made the remarks when he was “training to get to the front line.” Recalling what happened, he added that William attempted to expose his habits, which he denied were true.

He said: “We agreed to a rare joint interview, in an aeroplane hangar at Shawbury, during which Willy griped endlessly about my habits.” He referenced the remarks and repeated: “Harry’s a slob, he said. Harry snores.”

The Duke of Sussex disputed the claims and explained that he “cleaned up” after himself and didn’t “snore”. He went on to further say that even if he did, it would have been “impossible for his brother to hear, as their rooms were separated by thick walls”.

King Charles’s youngest son goes on to explain how he tried to diffuse the accusations made with the reporters. He writes: “The reporters were having fits of giggles about it all, but I cut in: Lies! Lies!” He further adds: “That only made them laugh harder. Willy too. I laughed as well, because we often bantered like that, but when I look back on it now, I can’t help but wonder if there wasn’t something else at play.”

Prince Harry writes: “I was training to get to the front line, the same place Willy had been training to get, but the Palace had scuttled his plans. The Spare, sure, let him run around a battlefield like a chicken with its head cut off, if that’s what he likes.”

Among the most revealing and controversial anecdotes shared by Harry in his book, was how he killed 25 people while serving with the British Army during his two spells touring Afghanistan. Harry’s time in the Armed Forces was not without controversy, however, as it was considered a major threat to the lives of those he served with due to his royal status.

In a statement when he left the Armed Forces in 2015, Harry described the “tough decision” to rejoin civilian life. He continued: “I consider myself incredibly lucky to have had the chance to do some very challenging jobs and have met many fantastic people in the process. Inevitably, most good things come to an end and I am at a crossroads in my military career.”
