Prince Harry’s old friends may break their silence over book revelations after years of loyalty
- A source said the prince is a “broken man” but has “chased away” some who care
- The idea that royals encouraged Harry to wear a Nazi outfit was called “b*****t”.
- Another said: “Most people are absolutely disgusted by what Harry has done.”
Former friends of Prince Harry say they are considering breaking their silence after years of the royal “opening up” about wanting to “betray” his family.
A source described the prince as a “broken man” but said he had “chased away” anyone with his best interest at heart – or the strength to stand up to him and Meghan.
Another said: “Most people are absolutely disgusted by what Harry has done.
“Regardless of the rights and wrongs of what may or may not have happened to him – and as the late Queen memorably said, “the memories may vary” – the trust he has broken and the sheer viciousness of his attacks on his family is one Shame. He’s a very isolated figure now.’

The Sunday Times reported yesterday that Harry’s disloyalty has rocked lifelong friends of the brothers.
“I don’t know how you can do this to your brother even if you don’t like him or get along with him anymore,” says a friend.
“William was always there to pick up the pieces for Harry – he was his mother [after Diana].
“There’s been so much stuff over the years that Harry would call friends about and say, ‘Throw that photo away, promise me you won’t talk about it. You could have a bloody field day with Harry.
“So could William, who is sparkling clean (by comparison). I can’t believe he would stoop so low. It’s outrageously disloyal.’ Another close friend of the brothers said: “It’s not strategically wise. Harry is good at getting his narrative out there, but we know so much, we’ve cleaned up so much clutter over the years; there is so much we could say.’

Former friends of Harry say they are considering going on record to debunk some of his claims as “B******s”. “Loyalty works both ways,” warned one.
A source called Harry’s suggestion that William and Kate encouraged him to wear a Nazi outfit to a party in 2005 as “b******t”. They also discredited his report that William didn’t want him to be best man at his wedding, saying it was Harry who wasn’t thrilled. A friend of the future king said William was a “sitting duck” as Harry knew he would not “retaliate”. “It’s cruel, cowardly and so sad for William to continue taking beatings. He is silent for the good of his family and the country,” they added.
“He’s worried and he’s sad. He is focused on his wife and children. He needs to focus on her and take care of the rest of the royal family. Outwardly he handles it so well; inside he burns.’
A supporter of Harry said: “Maybe he already thinks he’s won by putting all his cards on the table.
“This is someone who lived a life for 30 years that they really didn’t want. Of course he harms other people in the process, but for years he felt he was being treated unfairly and harmed.”
