Prince Harry revealed the pain and "tremendous guilt" his elder brother, Prince William, felt after discovering the truth about their father's affair with Camilla Parker Bowles in an excerpt from his upcoming memoir, Spare.

"Despite Willy and me urging him not to, Pa was going ahead," the passage noted. "We pumped his hand, wished him well. No hard feelings ... We recognized that he was finally going to be with the woman he loved, the woman he’d always loved."
