CHRISTINA GARIBALDI: Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
held nothing back in their Netflix docuseries.
And now, they have to deal with the aftermath
from the royal family.
We've got all the details in today's "Us Daily."
The pair aired their grievances with the family, especially
Harry's brother, Prince William, who he claims
shouted at him when he was told that Harry
was stepping back as a senior member of the royal family.
A source tells "Us," "The docuseries is a thorn
in the flesh for William.
He's disappointed with Harry for portraying him
and the family in a cynical light.
William was hoping that they could move on after the CBS
interview, but Harry airing his dirty laundry
has only heightened the conflict between the two brothers
and resulted in them taking a step backwards."
The source also adds that "The Princess of Wales
also feels hurt and betrayed by Harry since the pair
used to be so close."
And while the royal family, including Prince William
has no plans to retaliate against Harry and Meghan,
a source does tell "Us" that "The general consensus amongst
the royals is that Harry and Meghan
aren't doing themselves any favors
by speaking out about the family.
And that they are digging themselves into a deeper
hole with these tell-alls."
They add that "They're hoping once Harry's memoir 'Spare' is
released in January that the couple will focus on the future
and not the past."
However, there is one royal family member that
is in Prince Harry's corner, and that is his cousin Princess
Eugenie, who was featured in the docuseries visiting
the couple in California.
A source tells "Us," "Eugenie and Harry and Meghan
have an unbreakable bond.
They're in regular communication and FaceTime
at least once every couple of months with the children."
And now with their story told and the family bond seemingly
damaged, it doesn't seem like Harry
and Meghan have any regrets.
A source tells "Us," "Meghan and Harry don't have any major
regrets about doing the docuseries,
and we'll be seeing Harry elaborate
about his relationship with his family in 'Spare'.
While the couple were prepared for the backlash,
they're pleased to have gotten their story out there."
