Harry says in the book that Charles controlled the “purses” when it came to his brother and claimed William was called “work-shy Will” when his wife Catherine announced she was expecting Princess Charlotte in 2014.
“[William]did as much as Pa wanted and sometimes it wasn’t much because Pa and Camilla didn’t want Willy and Kate to get a lot of publicity,” Harry said in his autobiography.
He adds that Charles scolded William for him and his wife “to divert attention from them (and) their concerns.”
