Harry did not mince his words about his brother as he admitted they were on “different paths” during his bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey last month. His comments came just months before William and Harry are also reportedly planning to reunite publicly in July to stand together at the unveiling of a statue for Princess Diana, at Kensington Palace, on what would have been her 60th birthday. But the former Good Morning Britain host lashed out at Harry for acting like a “whiny brat” by complaining about his family during an interview with Tucker Carlson for Fox News last night.

This was his first interview since quitting his presenting role on ITV after the Duchess of Sussex complained after he said “he didn’t believe” her claims about feeling suicidal as a member of the Royal Family.

Mr Morgan said: “What’s happened to that guy? He’s turned into this whiny brat.

“In his mid-thirties, complaining that his dad isn’t still financing everything that he does. Complaining that he was cut off by daddy and his millions.

“Actually that wasn’t true either – it turns out Prince Charles had carried on financing him.

“And remember Harry inherited millions when his mother died.

“You know I knew Princess Diana well. I think she would be horrified by the split between Harry and his brother.

“She would be horrified by the schism now between Harry and the Royal Family generally and by the appalling smearing of the Queen which is already causing damage in some of the commonwealth countries.”

The statue was commissioned back in 2017 to mark the twentieth anniversary of Princess Diana’s death.

In a joint statement at the time, the brothers said: “We have been touched by the kind words and memories so many people have shared about our mother over these past few months.

“It is clear the significance of her work is still felt by many in the UK and across the world, even 20 years after her death.”

Harry admitted his relationship with his brother was strained as he told Oprah he was on a “different path” to William, who will one day be king.

He said: “As I’ve said before, I love William to bits. He’s my brother.

“We’ve been through hell together. I mean, we have a shared experience. But we’re on different paths.

“The relationship is space at the moment. And time heals all things, hopefully.”

The Duke also added he felt trapped in the Royal Family and shared his “compassion” for his brother and father Prince Charles being unable to leave their roles.

He said: “My father and my brother, they are trapped. They don’t get to leave. And I have huge compassion for that.”

Harry also said he was forced to sign multi-million pound deals with Netflix and Spotify after only being left with Diana’s inheritance when Charles cut him off financially last year.

William was the first royal to publicly speak about Harry’s claims as he visited an east London school with his wife Kate shortly after the interview was aired in the UK.

A reporter asked the Duke of Cambridge if he had spoken to Harry yet, but William replied: “No, I haven’t spoken to him yet but I will do.”

Oprah’s friend Gayle King has since claimed the brothers have spoken, but their talks were “unproductive”.

Duncan Larcombe, who wrote Prince Harry: The Inside Story, said the situation with Harry was painful for William.

He told OK!: “There’s no doubt this is one of the hardest things that William has gone through, the hardest since his mother died.

“He feels he has lost his brother and his best friend.”

Despite focusing on his new life in the US, Harry has still referenced his mother a number of times over the last year.

When Meghan and Harry launched their Archewell Foundation website last year, the landing page originally featured a picture of a young Harry with Diana, which was taken at Highgrove in July 1986.

He also mentioned her during the Oprah interview as he explained why he wanted to leave the Firm.

Harry said: “My biggest concern was history repeating itself.

“I’m just really relieved and happy to be sitting here talking to you with my wife by my side. Because I can’t imagine what it must have been like for her (Diana), going through this process by herself all those years ago.

“It’s been unbelievably tough for the two of us, but at least we had each other.”

William has also publicly shown Diana is still close to his heart over the years.

For Mother’s Day this year, Kate and William shared pictures of cards that their children Prince George, seven, Princess Charlotte, five, and Prince Louis, two, had made in honour of their “Granny Diana”.
