Prince Harry’s ‘had an axe to grind for years’: ‘Prince William is nothing but a buffoon half the time’

Despite Prince Harry saying he has no jealousy towards his older brother, and the heir to the throne of England reports suggest that is not the case. These sources have attempted to refute the Duke’s own words while speaking to Heat.

In their eyes, the issue was “common knowledge at the palace,” and according to this insider, “certainly in William's world, that Harry is a jealous character who has got an enormous amount of envy towards his brother.”

They even referenced the same book that saw Prince Harry issue this rejection and said, “his whole book [Spare] just reeked of pure, unadulterated jealousy, and that was for public consumption, so you can just imagine how bad he is in private.”

They also said, “Harry has had an axe to grind with William for years. To this day he will bring up things that happened when they were schoolboys to prove what an ogre his brother is.”

But in the heir’s defense the source said, “William didn't ask to be born first, but that was his destiny and he has a role that he takes very seriously.” But “what really drives him [Harry] mad is how much respect William gets as this great statesman when, in Harry’s eyes at least, he is nothing but a buffoon half the time.”

Even a former butler who served the boys’ mother for many years has spoken out about this ‘jeaousy’ and claimed, “Harry understood his brother would one day be King because Harry listened to people whispering in William’s ear all his childhood years, ‘One day, you’re going to be king. You have to sit up straight because you’re going to be king. You have to know how to eat properly with a knife and fork because you’re going to be king’. All these lessons were being given to William in the nursery with Harry watching. So, how do you think Harry felt as a child growing up?”
