KEY POINTS

  • No member of the royal family trusts Prince Harry anymore after "Spare," a report claims
  • Prince Harry allegedly "crossed a line" by revealing private family matters in his book
  • A friend of Prince William claimed the Prince of Wales felt "utterly betrayed" by his brother's memoir

Prince Harry's new book "Spare" has triggered feelings of betrayal within the royal family, according to reports.

An anonymous source close to the royal family claimed to Entertainment Tonight that "no one in the family trusts Harry anymore" after leaks from the Duke of Sussex's memoir, out Tuesday, revealed some of his bombshell claims about Prince William, King Charles and other royals.

According to the source, Prince Harry "crossed a line" by revealing private family matters in his book.

A second unnamed royal source claimed to the outlet that "Spare" is "deeply upsetting" to King Charles. Though Prince Harry goes easy on the monarch and instead targets his older brother, the Duke of Sussex "still makes jabs at his father," the insider noted.

Despite this, King Charles still hopes to mend his relationship with Prince Harry and heal the rift between his two sons, according to ET.

Both Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace have refused to comment on the allegations that have emerged from the book thus far.

But a friend of Prince William also claimed to The Daily Beast that the Prince of Wales feels "utterly betrayed" by his younger brother's memoir and "hates" the Duke and Duchess of Sussex over their attacks on him and his wife Kate Middleton.

"If they decided not to show their faces, no one would mourn their absence," the friend, who was not named, told the outlet.

"It's impossible to exaggerate the extent of [William's] contempt for Harry and Meghan now. He absolutely hates them, and can't believe that Harry would do this to him and to Kate. He feels utterly betrayed and deeply saddened by everything that has happened. There will be no way back after this," the source claimed. "The thing that is so sad is that this was a tight family. Harry has blown it all up. For what? He has literally turned his entire family against him."

Vanity Fair royal correspondent and editor Katie Nicholl also learned from unnamed royal sources that the heir to the British throne is "privately seething and devastated" by Prince Harry's revelations, which include allegations that William physically assaulted him, leaving him visibly injured on his back after angrily speaking about Meghan Markle in 2019.

Prince William reportedly couldn't forgive his sibling for the things he wrote in his memoir.

"They've been taken aback by the level of detail and just how far Harry has gone in all of this," Nicholl claimed to Page Six about the royal family's reaction to "Spare." "To paint such an unflattering picture of the royal family and a very unsavory side of his brother and an uncaring side of his father... It just does not appear to be the actions of a man trying to reconcile with his estranged family. It really feels like a line has been crossed."

The Duke of Sussex said in his ITV interview with journalist Tom Bradby Sunday that he wanted his father and brother back but claimed that they were not willing to reconcile.

"Spare" will hit shelves Tuesday.
