It’s all love? Prince Harry never “intended” to offend his family with his memoir, Spare.
The Duke of Sussex, 38, opened up about the book, specifically excerpts where he took aim at his brother, Prince William, during a 60 Minutes interview on Sunday, January 8.

Harry continued: “My brother and I love each other. I love him deeply.” He went on to share with Cooper, 55, that there has been “a lot of pain” between himself and William, 40, “especially the last six years.”

Harry continued: “[It] also squashes this idea that my wife [Meghan Markle] was the one that destroyed the relationship between these two brothers.”
In Spare, Harry recalled an argument he had with the Duke of Cambridge, during which the Archewell co-founder realized William had gone from being a “beloved brother” to his “archnemesis.”

Harry also suggested that the Duke of Cambridge’s resemblance to their late mother, Princess Diana, was “fading with time.”
The California resident said their argument then proceeded with William allegedly implying that he didn’t understand his brother and Meghan‘s decision to step back as working royals. “I couldn’t believe
