Prince William may have been the one to ignite the bitter feud with Prince Harry by allegedly having his staffer's plant stories about his bother's mental health all the way back in 2019.
In a documentary about the royal family feud, Harry’s biographer Omid Scobie alleges it was "no coincidence" that Kensington Palace aides started a campaign against the 36-year-old after he alluded to the rumors of the longstanding rift between the two.
He points to one specific time when the Duke of Sussex was on tour in South Africa and confirmed to ITV reporter Tom Bradby that he and William were "on different paths."
Meghan Markle also told Bradby she was "‘surviving, not thriving" when asked about her mental state.
She also suggested she had been neglected by those around her, including the royal family, when she responded, "not many people have asked me if I am OK."
Scobie alleges William's team got involved following Harry's "different paths" comment and reportedly began planting seeds to journalists that William was "worried about Harry’s mental health."
