Prince Harry's friends are "very hurt" their loyalty has not been repaid following his bombshell revelations in his memoir Spare, a royal expert has claimed.
Since quitting his royal role with wife Meghan Markle and leaving the UK to carve out a new life in the United States, Harry has often been critical of his royal relatives and made a number of bombshell claims in his book and in his Netflix series.
Speculation has also been swirling about Harry's friendship with some of his oldest friends after it emerged he missed the wedding of Jack Mann, a former Army and polo-playing pal, who Harry said was his real best man when he wed Meghan in 2018.
And according to royal expert and correspondent Rebecca English, there are some in Harry's friendship circle who are "genuinely disgusted" that he dished on his family.
Speaking on the Daily Mail's royal show Palace Confidential, she explained: "From what I hear, there are a lot of people who are genuinely disgusted by what he’s done since leaving the Royal Family."
"They feel very hurt by some of the revelations that he’s made. As they were growing up, William and Harry created a very close-knit circle of friends around each other.
"There was almost a kind of omertà between them. There are people who said: 'We’ve been very loyal to him over the years and we don’t feel that loyalty’s been repaid’."
It comes as Jack married Isabella Clark at St Peter's Church in Stutton, Suffolk, last Saturday, and guests included Harry's friend Thomas van Straubenzee, the godfather of Princess Charlotte.
Jack and Harry first met at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst and used to play polo together as their friendship grew.
The pair served with the British Army, and both were commissioned into the Blues and Royals. After leaving the army, Jack worked in Libya as a country manager for a UK security company called Aegis Defence Services and later went on to create his own private security company in 2015 called Alma Risk.
It's unclear how close the pair are today as the Duke admitted in his tell-all memoir Spare that he fell out with some of his old pals after he attacked the Royal Family on television in his and Meghan's infamous tell-all chat with Oprah Winfrey.
Harry wrote in his book: "Several close mates and beloved figures in my life, including one of Hugh and Emilie’s (van Custsem) sons, Emilie herself, and even Tiggy (former nanny), had chastised me for Oprah.
"How could you reveal such things? About your family? I told them that I failed to see how speaking to Oprah was any different from what my family and their staff had done for decades – briefing the press on the sly, planting stories."
