Prince Harry has sensationally accused his brother, Prince William, of 'betraying' their late mother Diana in a frank article penned to mark the news he's set to inherit the throne as next King of the United Kingdom. Harry's explosive statements have generated a new family drama within the monarch after this disclosure has gone viral through both royal socials and public.

The rare public platform, available to a relatively few high-profile occupants of professionals who can expect legal protections from the monarchy, featured Harry — long an out-spoken critic of the royal institution and his troubled relationship with other members of his family — fulminating that William had "undermined" their mother's legacy. He claimed that the royal family had failed to honor Diana’s wishes and values, particularly in the wake of William’s forthcoming coronation as King.
According to Harry, Diana’s advocacy for compassion, charity, and her desire to modernize the monarchy were being ignored by William, who, as heir to the throne, is increasingly embodying the more traditional, conservative aspects of the monarchy. "He’s sold out to the establishment," Harry allegedly said, expressing frustration that William’s path to kingship marks a departure from the progressive vision Diana had for the monarchy.
Sources close to Harry suggest that the Prince of Wales's decision to support more traditional royal roles, while distancing himself from the more progressive changes Diana once championed, has led to an intense rift. The situation is further complicated by the fact that Harry has also distanced himself from the monarchy, choosing to live in the U.S. with his wife, Meghan Markle.
As the royal family braces for the fallout from this latest accusation, many are wondering whether this will lead to further fractures in the already tumultuous relationship between the two brothers. Harry’s comments have undeniably reignited the debate over the future of the monarchy and the legacy of their beloved mother, Diana.
