Prince William cautioned King Charles not to cast him in a negative light.
After a tense debate at Clarence House, the Prince of Wales implored his father not to let’strangers’ in his communications staff leak unpleasant things to the press.
Prince Harry describes the scenario in his biography ‘Spare,’ noting: “Willy put it to Pa: How can you be letting a stranger do this to your sons? Pa instantly got upset. He began shouting that Willy was paranoid. We both were. Just because we were getting bad press, and he was getting good, that didn’t mean his staff was behind it. But we had proof.”
Harry adds: “Reporters, inside actual newsrooms, assuring us that this woman was selling us out. Pa refused to listen. His response was churlish, pathetic. Granny has her person, why can’t I have mine?”
