Camilla's friend turns guns on Prince William

Queen Camilla's pal has made Prince William responsible for not healing rift with Harry.

Petronella Wyatt, who first met Camilla in the late 1980s, claimed in his piece of writing for The Daily Telegraph: "It is easy to blame him [Harry] and his puerile book for the continuing rift with his father and brother, but some courtiers of my acquaintance hold William equally liable.

"Whether we like it or not, the Sussexes' Nigerian tour has been a triumph and I cannot help but feel that a visible reconciliation between William and Harry would strengthen the unity of the House of Windsor and reassure the public of its commitment."

Wyatt went on claiming that a former courtier had told her it was William who was preventing King Charles from reconciling with Harry, but that the Prince of Wales was exhibiting "mildly pathological" disgruntlement.

She wrote: "William's disgruntlement can at times seem mildly pathological. I do not think there is any superior rationality in being discontented with one's relatives."

The writer admited: "I realise Harry has at times taken joy out of William's life, and that he and Meghan can be a cause of irritation."

However, she stressed: "It may be time to bring Harry home on probation, and for William to clasp his prodigal brother to his bosom, even if he has been a bit of an asp."
