In Tom Bauer's book, "Revenge," a revelation was made regarding Meghan's choice to visit Ibiza instead of joining the Cambridges in Balmoral. This decision was allegedly made in response to the Cambridges mocking Meghan's family after their low-cost trip to Aberdeen.
Despite claiming that Archie was too young to travel, Meghan took him to Ibiza when he was three months old while choosing to skip the trip to Scotland with the Cambridges.
According to Bauer, the private jet argument between the Duke and Duchess of Sussex and the Cambridges led to a retaliatory act by the Cambridges. Meghan seemed to treat private jets like ordering an Uber, while the media requested that the Cambridges be filmed traveling on a low-cost airline from Norwich to Aberdeen for their Balmoral vacation. In response, Meghan quickly declared that her family would not accompany the Cambridges to Balmoral, citing Archie's young age as the reason.
Furthermore, Meghan's travels continued as she flew to Ibiza with Archie the same week, followed by a scheduled trip to New York to watch Serena Williams compete in the U.S. Open final. Shortly after, Meghan and Harry traveled via private aircraft to Rome for the wedding of Misha Nonoo and her millionaire son-in-law.
The controversy surrounding private jet usage also involved Prince Harry's sustainable travel firm, Travalyst. The organization collapsed, leading to the departure of executive director Heather Wong. The business was initially established after Prince Harry spoke about climate change at the Google Camp in Sicily. Despite criticism for his family's use of private planes, Harry traveled to the camp via private jet and helicopter before lecturing celebrities and billionaires about climate change.
Bauer alleges that Prince Harry defended his private jet usage as a means of protecting his family from certain individuals, following the launch of his eco-friendly travel initiative, Travalyst. Harry previously claimed that 99% of the time, he used conventional flights, though the identities of those persons remain unknown.
However, his responses were met with scrutiny, leading Harry to hold a press conference in Amsterdam to promote Travalyst. He was infuriated by demands to defend his private jet usage and insisted that the majority of his flights were commercial. Yet, records indicated that he had taken at least 60 private flights.
When questioned about his private jet usage, Harry claimed to offset his carbon footprint by planting trees. Bauer suggests that the prince genuinely believed every word he said at the time. It was calculated that he would need to plant 1,400 trees to balance out his private jet usage.
An expert commented on Harry's desire to return to the days of absolute monarchy, where his word held ultimate power. In his mentally deficient state, he believes he can say and do whatever he wants, with punishment awaiting anyone who questions, denies, or disobeys him. He perceives himself as untouchable, exempt from the rule of law because, as a royal, he should be the law. He yearns for a world where the media and judiciary are completely compliant, never challenging or questioning him—a world filled with yes men.
What is truly concerning about his mental state is his belief that he is on equal footing with William. He even entertained the idea of being declared co-princes of Wales, thinking that Meghan had a valid claim to becoming Queen, and they would be joint rulers with William. Despite the concept of hierarchy and inheritance being integral to the British monarchy for over 1,200 years, he fails to grasp it. His pathological jealousy and hatred towards William drive him, as he perceives himself as equal to, or even superior to, his brother due to Diana's influence, who always told him he would make a good King.
Various authors touch on this subject. James Peterson's book, "Diana William and Henry," describes how Diana referred to Harry as "Good King Harry" and assured him he would make the best King. As a child, Harry used to tell William that he would be king and do a better job at it. It is also mentioned that Harry believed he was better prepared for leadership due to his military training and ten years in leadership roles, as opposed to William's responsibilities related to domestic traffic accidents as an ambulance responder.
Regarding the shared office situation, Camilla Tomini, an associated editor of the Daily Telegraph, and Tom Bauer in his book mention how Harry shared William's household staff and office but grew paranoid that they were leaking stories. William, after the bullying claims, wanted Harry and Meghan to leave, while Harry desired to establish his own household with separate staff, reporting directly to him and Meghan, equal to William's household staff and officers, based in Kensington Palace.
However, the Queen refused permission for this arrangement, wanting to keep a close eye on them. She insisted that Buckingham Palace oversee their household affairs, denying Harry the same level of autonomy as William. According to Tom Bauer, this became a significant issue causing tension and ultimately contributing to their exit, as Harry felt diminished in importance.
Robert Lacey's book, "Battle of Brothers," mentions Harry's frequent frustrations about being perceived as less important and his desire to remain as heir to the heir even after William's marriage. He resented being pushed down the line of succession by a baby, and there are rumors that he even suggested staying as heir to the heir until Prince George turned 18. He had a deep fear of becoming entirely irrelevant as George grew older.
Some time ago, Twitter was abuzz with rumors that, following their successful Australian tour, Prince Harry returned and demanded a more prominent role for himself and Meghan. Allegedly, he even suggested taking over as the head of the Commonwealth, while William would become the king of England. There was also speculation that he requested half of the income from the Duchy of Cornwall to support their endeavors. These hints indicate that he may have attempted to amplify their positions, but the response was likely unfavorable.
