Prince William hears out Harry's brutal Meghan Markle plot claims

Prince Harry once laid out a "plot" he'd discovered about wife Meghan Markle to his brother William.

The conversation came just before the Duke of Sussex moved to the US with his wife and young son, and Harry said he'd been "braced for a lecture" from William but "it didn’t come".

He claimed there was a royal family staff member who was allegedly "sabotaging" the former actress and recalling the chat, said "for the first time in a long time" his brother heard him out and he was "so grateful", as writes the Mirror.

Harry added: "Someone suggested that before I left I should step outside with Willy. Cool our heads. All right. We went up and down the yew hedges.

"The day was freezing. I was wearing only a light jacket, and Willy was in a jumper, so both of us were shivering.

"I was braced for a lecture. It didn’t come. Willy was subdued.

"He wanted to listen. For the first time in a long time my brother heard me out, and I was so grateful. I told him about one past staff member sabotaging Meg. Plotting against her.

"I told him about one current staff member, whose close friend was taking payments for leaking private stuff to the press about Meg and me.

"My sources on this were above reproach, including several journalists and barristers. Plus, I’d made a visit to New Scotland Yard.

"Willy frowned. He and Kate had their own suspicions. He’d look into it. We agreed to keep talking."

Another now well known meeting between the siblings was gone through in Spare - a disagreement at Harry and Meghan's London home, Nottingham Cottage, in 2019 which saw William grab his younger brother by the collar and knock him to the ground in a heated exchange.

It comes as uncertainty surrounds whether or not the Duke and Duchess of Sussex will attend the King's Coronation on May 6.

They have already confirmed that they have been invited to be part of the 2,000-strong Westminster Abbey congregation, but they haven't given anything else away.

It's been reported Harry and Meghan are locked in tense talks with the royals over 'demands' and conditions on their attendance.

The Royal Family are "fully expecting" them to attend but it's not known if they will actually be there due to tensions being at an all time high.

After the release of Spare earlier this year, in which he detailed some shocking allegations about his relatives, it's reported that it's left a strain on some of their relationships.

Harry and Meghan could stay at home in California with kids Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet because of the issues raised after the release of Spare, and the fact that the event falls on Archie's birthday.

The couple are said to have a list of demands if they attend the event.
