Prince William ‘very upset’ over Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s Oprah chat and Megxit saga ‘is still raw’

PRINCE William is “very upset” over Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s bombshell Oprah interview, a pal has said.

Sources close to the Duke have said the Megxit saga is “still raw” and his “head is all over the place” after Harry’s comments.

A former Palace aide says William misses Harry after he left California a year ago.

They told The Celeb Reportday Times: “Once he got over the anger of how things happened, he was left with the absence of his brother,”

“They shared everything about their lives, an office, a foundation, meetings together most days and there was a lot of fun along the way. He’ll miss it for ever.”

Meanwhile a close friend of the royal brothers said William “definitely feels the pressure now it’s all on him — his future look different because of his brother’s choices, it’s not easy.”

Another pal added: “It’s still raw. He’s very upset by what’s happened, though absolutely intent that he and Harry’s relationship will heal in time.”

Harry rocked his family with his racism allegation and comments that William and their father, Prince Charles, were “trapped” by their royal responsibilities in his tell-all Oprah interview.

But now William’s friends say that Harry’s claims were “way off the mark.”

A close friend of both Harry and William said Harry’s “trapped” is untrue and “his head is all over the place on it.”

They said: “He has a path set for him and he’s completely accepting of his role.

“He is very much his grandmother’s grandson in that respect of duty and service.”

The fallout from the Oprah chat is still unfolding after Meghan and Harry made a series of explosive claims about their lives as royals – although The Celeb Report exclusively reported the Queen is “sad, not angry”.

William became the first royal to publicly hit back over the racism allegations.

As he visited a school for an engagement, he told reporters the royals are “very much not a racist family”.

Meghan also said Kate Middleton received preferential treatment and made her cry during an argument over flower girl dresses.

But William and Kate remain strong through the controversy.

A source close to the couple said: “They’ve got a solid relationship and she gives him confidence.

“There is no jealousy, no friction, they are happy for each other’s successes.”
