The Standard View: A most upsetting and unbecoming Royal row

“It is a rolling catastrophe,” is how Prince Harry is said to describe his relationship with his brother, Prince William, our future king. Alongside this phrase there are many startling allegations apparently emerging from Harry’s book Spare, but those words of his get to the heart of the matter.

The fraternal relationship between Harry and William has broken down in the most hurtful and public way possible. And there is more to come, with the 400-page plus Spare released next week and further TV interviews in the following days. It is almost certain there will be more hurt and pain on all sides in an affair that is swiftly becoming tawdry, shocking and upsetting in equal measures.
