The royal insiders have claimed that Prince William calls both his brother Harry and uncle Earl Spencer ‘traitors’ behind the palace walls.

The Closer, citing the royal sources, has reported that “William is seeing this alliance that Harry has formed with their uncle, and it’s got him incensed and calling both Harry and Earl Spencer traitors.”

Prince Harry shares close bond with his uncle, and the Duke and his family visited him at Althorp in July.

Amid their closeness, speculation has been mounting that Harry may have had prior access to his uncle’s memoir from when he visited Althorp Estate.

The source has claimed “It didn’t come as a shock.”

Moreover, the insiders said, “Harry isn’t going anywhere; clearly, he’s got a point to prove. And now he’s got this close alliance with their uncle that he’s flaunting everywhere, which is only making things that much more upsetting for William.”

William has got no doubts that Harry read their uncle Earl Spencer’s bombshell book before it was published, the source said and added “while the King won’t do anything because he’s too afraid of the Sussexes’ wrath, he [William] wants to tear into him [Harry] over it.”

Spencer has alleged in his recently published memoir that the then-Prince Charles told him "rest assured, we'll forget her soon enough" following the death of Princess Diana.
