When William, after Diana's death, did not take care of Harry (and started making him drink)
After Lady Diana's death, Harry began to drink heavily, and his brother would be the one to lead him on the wrong track. New rumors from the latest book on the royal family cast shadows on the future heir to the throne, boy and model man, always opposed to the rebellious younger brother
A new scandal is hitting the British royal family. Fault of the latest book by Rober Lacey, out in mid-October, of which some extracts have been circulating for days now that would not promise anything good, especially in the context of the rift between William and Harry and the so-called Megxit, which brought the second son of Carlo and Diana at the farewell to the family.
According to some rumors, however, the problems would have started even earlier, after the death of his mother, when Harry, 14, joined William in Eton, and entered the circle of his friends, older than him.
At that time, says Rober Lacey, the one who would soon become the "rebel prince" began to drink heavily and smoke, dragged by his older brother, who would do nothing to protect him from that potentially dangerous inclination at his age. as in fact it would turn out.
But that's not all. In Highrove, in the cellars of the residence, Prince Charles had set up spaces as a discotheque, where his children had the opportunity to host their fellow students and spend more than one evening together, Club H. "It had a well-equipped bar. equipped with a state-of-the-art sound system that shook every floor of the 200-year-old building, ”reports Lacey. When Carlo was at home, however, the boys moved to the nearby The Rattlebone Inn, where they turned a blind eye to the minor age of the princes, thanks to the presence of the bodyguards.
Harry, however, would only really get lost later, between 2000 and 2001, when William, a newly 18-year-old William took a gap year in Belize and left his brother alone with his ghosts. Lacey is very critical on this point, because she blames William for dragging his brother down the wrong path and then playing the role of the always impeccable handsome prince, the heir to the seemingly perfect throne, model son and no skeletons in the closet. , as did Carlo: when Harry's problems became public in 2002, he was described as a "loving father", despite the fact that, according to Lacey, he neglected his boys a lot to convince the public to accept the story with Camilla Parker Bowles , who would later become his wife.
In hindsight, the judgments are easy, and who knows, maybe Harry would have faced the pain of his mother's death anyway by getting lost for a while, but it's also true that that period of his life may have left a trace of resentment towards his brother. , which then, with the aversion to Meghan, exploded in a powerful way. And today the rift between them seems truly irremediable.
