Prince Harry often “vented” about his family – long before he met Meghan Markle, a royal biographer has claimed.
Royal expert Tina Brown has written a new book on the Royal Family, in which she documents the frustration the Duke of Sussex felt for many years.
Harry reportedly revealed a growing rivalry with his brother, Prince William, to his girlfriend at the time, Cressida Bonas.
Harry, now 37, and Cressida dated for two years, before splitting in 2014, but during that time, she was told about his anger towards his sibling.
New book reveals all
Writing in The Palace Papers: Inside The House Of Windsor — The Truth And The Turmoil, Brown said: “When he wasn’t venting about William, he was pouring out resentments about Charles.”

According to Brown, tension rose between the two over William’s conservation work.
She wrote: “Friction between the brothers escalated over their professional alignments.
“William knew he had to be respectful of hierarchy when it came to his father’s ownership of the environmental platform, but he was less willing to accede to his brother.”
In the book, Brown claims Harry was annoyed about his brother’s involvement with The Tusk Trust.
William had been a patron of the charity, which aims to stop rhino and elephant poaching, since 2015.
A friend of the siblings reportedly said: “Harry was a very, very angry man.
“I think those were absolutely Olympic rows.”

He replied: “Look, I mean, for me at the moment, I’m here focused on these guys [athletes at the Invictus Games] and these families and giving everything that I can, 120%, to them to make sure they have the experience of a lifetime. That’s my focus here.
“And then I leave here, I get back and my focus is on my family, who I miss massively…[Archie and Lilibet] are two little people, you know?”
