The relationship between Prince Harry (38) and his brother, Prince William (40), has been tense for years. "Spare", Harry's new autobiography, which will be published on January 10th, should not necessarily be beneficial. According to Vanity Fair magazine, an anonymous source reported that there were "massive trust issues" between the two. William reportedly worries that any talks between the brothers could become public.

"William worries that absolutely everything he says will be made public," said an insider who last met Prince William just before Christmas. The 40-year-old therefore plans not to comment on the claims in the book and wants to "sit it all out". After all, William "will still be the Prince of Wales at the end of the day and that's what he's focused on."

Allegedly, Harry writes in "Spare" (German title: "Reserve"), according to a report by the British "Guardian", which already has the book, about a dispute between the brothers in 2019, which escalated. William described Harry's wife, Duchess Meghan (41), as "difficult", "rude" and "rough". The argument escalated until William grabbed him by the collar and threw him to the ground.

In an interview for the US show "Good Morning America", which is scheduled to be shown on January 9, Harry discusses his relationship with his brother. In a preview, moderator Michael Strahan (51) suggests that Harry apparently refers to William as his "beloved brother" and as his "archenemy" in the book. "I think she would be sad," Prince Harry said when asked how the late Princess Diana (1961-1997) would feel if she could see her sons' relationship today.

Two more TV interviews with Harry will also be broadcast before the release of "Spare". On January 8, one will be shown on US network CBS' 60 Minutes and the other on UK channel ITV 1.
