The couple said things and made accusations that cast King Charles, Queen Camilla, Prince William, and the Princess of Wales (<a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/dont-be-fooled-this-is-what-kate-middleton-was-really-like-in-school.html/”>formerly known as Kate Middleton</a>) in a terrible light. </p>

<p id=”par-3_48″>Arthur Edwards is a photographer who has taken <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/photos-royal-family-really-didnt-want-see.html/?swcfpc=1″>pictures of the royal family</a> for over 40 years. He and royal biographer Ingrid Seward told <a href=”https://www.thesun.co.uk/royals/32292043/prince-harry-princess-kate-money/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The Sun</a> that “there was no need” for Harry to do what he did to his family after stepping down and he “can’t easily be forgiven.”</p>
<p id=”par-4_55″>Seward pointed out: “Ever since he left this country the split became so huge between the royal family here, the U.S., the media, and him. Mainly because he just rubbished the royal family. You can’t rubbish the king’s wife, Camilla, and expect to be easily forgiven. You can’t rubbish William’s wife and be easily forgiven.”</p>
<p id=”par-5_51″>Edwards then added that Harry trashed his sister-in-law and others in the Firm for one reason and one reason only claiming: “For profit, and that’s really what wrangles with me because Harry wasn’t down to his last 30 bob, he had plenty of money. There was no need to do that.”</p>

Longtime Royal Photographer Explains How His Relationship With Prince Harry Deteriorated After the Duke Met Meghan Markle </a>
</p>
</div>
<p id=”par-6_41″>The Princess of Wales was first pulled into the Sussexes’ war with the royals during the duke and duchess’s interview with Oprah Winfrey. Meghan told the former talk show host that she did not make Kate cry but “the reverse happened.”</p>
<p id=”par-7_76″>Prince Harry backed up <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/prince-harry-was-able-to-marry-meghan-markle-because-she-didnt-do-this-1-thing-in-her-past.html/”>his wife</a>‘s story in his memoir. The duke also claimed that Kate was taken aback when the duchess asked to borrow her lip gloss at an event and “grimaced” when Meghan squeezed some gloss onto her finger and applied it. And in another passage, Harry took the blame off himself and shifted some onto his sister-in-law saying she and Prince William encouraged him to wear that infamous Nazi costume to a party.</p>
<p id=”par-8_23″>Friends of the Waleses have said that trashing Kate is something Prince William has never and may never forgive his brother for. </p>
<p id=”par-9_55″>As for where things stand currently between the Waleses and the Sussexes now, one insider told the <a href=”https://www.thedailybeast.com/kate-middleton-and-prince-william-dont-want-any-prince-harry-drama-friends-say” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Daily Beast</a> that William and Kate have not spoken to and have no plans to speak to the duke anytime soon, sharing: “They have come to terms with the estrangement from Harry and are content to let sleeping dogs lie.”</p>
