Prince Harry complained about the 'spare' dynamic between him and Prince William.

"My half of the room was far smaller, less luxurious," Harry penned. "I never asked why. I didn't care. But I also didn't need to ask."

Due to the Prince of Wales' place in the line of succession, the duke often claimed his sibling recieved preferential treatment.

“Two years older than me, Willy was the Heir, whereas I was the Spare," he continued.

In Spare, Harry painted the future king as ill-tempered and called him his "archnemesis," and sources close to William claimed he was hurt by the project.

“He absolutely f------ hates him,” the source told the outlet.

“Harry sold his family out to the media for millions of dollars, and William can’t forgive that breach of trust,” the pal added.

Although the princes had their feuds, the pair did experience some good times together.

"I think it’s exactly because the bond was so deep that the betrayal has been so wounding," the source confessed of their falling out. "They were the only people who actually knew what each other had been through."

"How would you feel if your best friend decided to reveal all your personal secrets to the newspapers?" the confidant asked. "Well, multiply that by a thousand."

Aside from William, one royal expert predicted Harry and Meghan Markle cut ties with all of the Windsors except select cousins.

"Prince Harry is not on speaking terms with any member of the royal family apart from Prince Andrew's daughters, Beatrice and Eugenie," he added.
