Among the revelations of which yes he is discussing more there is the tale of a physical assault Of Williamthe older brother, towards Harry and the fact that both Harry and William would have asked the fatherKing Charles, not to marry the current queen consort

The resentment of being the second born runs through the whole book. At some point it is told a phrase that King Charles would have said to his wife Diana the day of Harry’s birth: “Marvelous! You gave me an heir and an escort, my job is done”

Another strange passage about King Charles is when he asks Harry what will Meghan want to do after the wedding.

I must already to pay your brother and Catherine”

Then there is the story of when the son Archie broke a Christmas tree decoration, one that depicted the grandmother, the Queen Elizabeth. Later, going to consult a medium, Harry took heart knowing that mother Dianaaccording to the seer, had “laughed a lot” when the child had broken the decoration with the royal effigy.
