Diana's jewels held immense sentimental value for both William and Harry, so the news that Meghan had sold one of their mother’s cherished pieces without consulting the royal family was shocking to William. He perceived it as a grave betrayal and a disrespectful act towards Diana’s memory.
William reportedly lost his composure, jumping up from his seat, grabbing Harry by the collar, and angrily shouting about Meghan’s audacity to sell part of their mother's legacy. He expressed his outrage, accusing Harry of allowing Meghan’s actions to tarnish Diana's memory, and demanded that Harry get Meghan under control. The confrontation escalated as William forcefully pushed Harry towards the door, yelling at him to leave and not return until he had addressed the situation with Meghan. William slammed the door so hard that a nearby picture frame fell from the wall.
Palace staff later reported hearing the commotion and found a distressed Harry leaving in haste, clearly humiliated by the argument. This incident has further deepened the rift between the brothers, with William losing trust in Harry's judgment. He feels Harry is being manipulated by Meghan’s actions and agenda against the royal family, potentially causing permanent damage to their relationship.
The confrontation has left Harry reeling, especially as he faces financial difficulties since stepping back from royal duties. He has mentioned rumors about Meghan selling Diana’s engagement ring to raise funds, which has added to the tension. Marcus was taken aback by this news and questioned why Harry allowed the sale of such a significant item without prior discussion. As tensions rose, Marcus accused Harry of prioritizing Meghan’s lifestyle over honoring their mother's memory. Harry defended his decision, asserting his ownership of the ring, but Marcus, in frustration, declared that Harry had lost touch with his roots and slammed the door in his face.
