Overview
- Author Russell Myers reports that William and Catherine invited Harry and Meghan to their home in July 2018 to address concerns about the Sussexes’ treatment of palace staff.
- According to the book, the Sussexes rejected blame for two of Meghan’s PAs leaving and for staff reporting stress-related sickness, with a source describing the meeting’s atmosphere as ugly.
- Myers writes that William confronted Harry over staff-related behavior and apologized to aides on his brother’s behalf on multiple occasions, a characterization Harry disputes in his autobiography.
- A subsequent confrontation between the brothers was alleged to have turned physical in Harry’s account, which sources close to William describe as overblown while denying physical violence.
- Buckingham Palace formally announced in March 2019 that the Queen approved a separate household for the Sussexes at Buckingham Palace, a step that preceded their 2020 departure from senior royal duties.
