In June, the royal historian and consultant for The Crown Robert Lacey announced that his next book would focus on the dissolution of the relationship between Prince William and Prince Harry. For years, the press has reported on rumors that the brothers were no longer as close as they used to be, but it wasn’t until an interview with ITV’s Tom Bradby last October that Harry admitted the conflict was real. Lacey’s book, Battle of the Brothers: William and Harry—The Inside Story of a Family in Tumult will be released on October 13, and in an interview with the Daily Mail Friday, he said the rift is about more than Meghan Markle’s entrance to the family.
According to Lacey, it has its roots in the fact that siblings of the future monarch have long had a difficult relationship with the palace. “The Palace got this very wrong, as it always does with the second-born,” he said. .”
Though Lacey began his career writing biographies about figures from the distant past, he became a go-to expert on the royal family after his 1977 biography of Queen Elizabeth, Majesty, became a classic of the genre. He has since written books about the Saudi royal family, Princess Grace of Monaco, and the Ford family. Lacey told the Daily Mail that he decided to write about Harry and William because he thinks their argument may imperil the family’s future. “It matters,” he said. “It’s a question of values, even about the national morale. The idea of our modern royalty was built on the idea of these two brothers.”
In the interview, he criticizes William for his temperament, but also admits that Meghan’s arrival did represent a challenge to the palace’s ideas about preserving the monarchy. “What you’ve got to realise is that the whole strategy of the monarchy was based on them sticking together,” he said. “Meghan changed all that. She is difficult. She has an incredible and dangerous level of self-belief.”
Ultimately, though, he thinks the palace had a duty to treat her more fairly. “There is only one self-made millionaire in the Royal Family and that is Meghan Markle,” he said. “If they had sat down with her at the start and said, ‘Let’s talk about the things you are interested in,’ things might have been different.”
He also said that the palace should have treated her mixed-race heritage as an asset. “They don’t do woke, but if they are to survive, the Windsors have to find their own way to do woke,” he said. “With Meghan, the royal family had a mixed-race recruit, and for a monarchy that represents a mixed-race nation and a mixed-race commonwealth this was important.”
He thinks that historians will look back at this moment as a turning point if the family doesn’t find a way to come back together. “There is time to change things in a positive direction, but at the moment the Palace is not working in that direction,” he said. “If this breach between the brothers is not healed in some way, it will come to stand with the Abdication crisis and the death of Diana as one of the traumas that changed the monarchy.”
