In an unprecedented royal scandal that’s sending shockwaves through Buckingham Palace and the global press, Prince William has allegedly revealed what many within royal circles have long suspected — that Meghan Markle has been manipulating Prince Harry for years, driving a wedge through the heart of the British monarchy. In a series of leaked private conversations, Prince William is said to have confessed to close friends that he “can’t stand” his sister-in-law and believes she’s systematically isolated Harry from his family and responsibilities.

According to insiders speaking under condition of anonymity, tensions between the brothers — once inseparable — have reached a new breaking point. These fresh revelations come just weeks after Meghan and Harry’s latest public appearance at a Hollywood charity gala, where the couple was reportedly snubbed by several high-profile guests with ties to the British establishment.

“William has tried to stay quiet for the sake of his grandmother and the monarchy,” one royal aide confided to The Daily Globe. “But behind closed doors, he’s fuming. He feels Harry is being used as a pawn in Meghan’s long game for fame and influence in America. He’s told close friends, ‘I can’t stand her. I’ve had enough.’”

Sources close to Kensington Palace claim that the future King has grown increasingly alarmed by what he views as Meghan’s “calculated efforts” to alienate Harry from his royal duties and the Windsor family altogether. Tensions reportedly escalated earlier this year when Harry failed to attend Prince Louis’ birthday celebration — the second year in a row — citing “prior obligations” in California, though it was later revealed the couple had attended a private celebrity dinner in Malibu that same evening.

The leaks have also exposed a series of heated arguments between the royal brothers over Meghan’s influence. One particularly tense phone call, insiders claim, ended with William telling Harry: “You’ve thrown away everything for her. And one day you’ll see she’s only ever wanted one thing: herself in the spotlight.”

This marks a significant departure from the official royal narrative, which has long downplayed reports of familial strife. Publicly, both Buckingham Palace and Kensington Palace have declined to comment on personal matters involving the Duke and Duchess of Sussex. But the monarchy’s strategy of dignified silence appears increasingly strained under the weight of these growing, persistent allegations.

Royal commentators say William’s alleged remarks highlight a broader fear within the royal household — that Meghan’s ongoing media ventures, including her recently revived podcast deal and rumored tell-all memoir, could cause irreparable damage to the monarchy’s carefully managed public image.

Veteran royal watcher Ingrid Seward weighed in on the controversy: “The rift between William and Harry was already painfully deep. If these comments are indeed true, it suggests there’s virtually no path back for their relationship. William is not a man who speaks lightly about his family, and for him to say ‘I can’t stand her’ would mean he feels deeply betrayed — both by Meghan and by his own brother.”

Meanwhile, public reaction has been swift and polarized. Supporters of Meghan and Harry have dismissed the reports as yet another attempt by the British media to vilify the Duchess of Sussex, while royal loyalists argue that Meghan’s alleged manipulation has cost the monarchy not only the loyalty of Prince Harry but also public goodwill, particularly in the United States.

Social media platforms lit up within hours of the story breaking, with #TeamWilliam and #IStandWithMeghan trending on X (formerly Twitter). While neither camp shows signs of backing down, what remains painfully clear is that the once-close bond between the royal brothers may be beyond repair.

As for the future, royal insiders predict further damaging leaks are inevitable. “This is just the beginning,” one source ominously told The Royal Standard. “There’s so much more that hasn’t come out yet.”

Stay tuned — because in this royal drama, the curtain is nowhere near closing.
