The Prince of Wales was said to have been devastated and withdrew from the world in anticipation of the tell-all interview, which aired on CBS.
Charlotte Griffiths, editor at large of the Mail on Sunday, shared this insight with Dan Wooten for GB News, stating that she had heard similar accounts from various sources over an extended period.
In the lead-up to the Oprah interview, William was reportedly overwhelmed with anxiety, leading to a loss of appetite and a desire to isolate himself.
He sought refuge in a royal residence, distancing himself from the public eye. Despite Kate's reserved reputation, Griffiths mentioned that she was determined not to let her husband, the future monarch, get consumed by the frenzy generated by the interview.
Griffiths explained that Kate stood by William, fully supporting him during this challenging time. She emphasized that Kate's loyalty and protective instincts kicked in, stating, "Kate was like, 'I have to stick with this guy and protect him.'
He was devastated by this, and that probably made her quite resolute. Though she is known for being shy, when it comes to protecting her husband, she steps in and shields him."
Following his decision to step down from his royal role in 2020 and establish a new life in the United States, Prince Harry has visited Britain only a few times. He has missed significant family events, including the memorial service for his late grandfather, Prince Philip, as well as King Charles's first Trooping the Colour and Scottish coronations.
However, this week, Harry recorded a separate message with his estranged brother, Prince William, to mark Diana's award ceremony, held in memory of their late mother. Despite their differences, they came together for this occasion. Harry's absence was notable at the wedding of his close friend, Jackman, who revealed in his diary that Harry was his real best man, not William.
