Prince Harry: Prince William was ‘gone forever’ after Kate Middleton wedding

Prince Harry reflects in his new memoir, “Spare,” on saying “goodbye” to his relationship with Prince William when the Prince of Wales married Kate Middleton in 2011.

“The brother I’d escorted into Westminster Abbey that morning was gone — forever. Who could deny it?” Harry writes, per an excerpt obtained by Page Six.

“He’d never again be first a foremost Willy. We’d never again ride together across the Lesotho countryside with capes blowing behind us. We’d never again share a horsey-smelling cottage while learning to fly. Who shall separate us? Life, that’s who.”

The Duke of Sussex, 38, adds that he found the wedding to be “yet another farewell under this horrid roof” and “another sundering.”

“And I recall Willy walking her back up the aisle, and as they disappeared through the door, into the carriage that would convey them to Buckingham Palace, into the eternal partnership they’d pledged, I recall thinking: Goodbye,” he continues.

Harry – who served as his brother’s best man in the April 2011 wedding – recalls that the ceremony itself was “mostly a blank in my mind” but remembers Middleton looking “incredible” in her Sarah Burton gown.

Harry’s thoughts of losing his brother, 40, to Middleton, also 40, after the wedding follow a myriad of other stories he tells about his older brother – including dubbing him his “beloved brother and archnemesis.”

The Archewell Foundation co-founder goes into further detail on his strained relationship with his brother and accuses William of physically attacking him in 2019.

The siblings allegedly had gotten into a heated argument over Harry’s marriage to Meghan Markle when William reportedly called her “difficult,” “rude” and “abrasive,” according to an excerpt obtained by the Guardian.

“It all happened so fast. … He grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and he knocked me to the floor,” he writes.

“I landed on the dog’s bowl, which cracked under my back, the pieces cutting into me. I lay there for a moment, dazed, then got to my feet and told him to get out.”

However, Harry recently admitted to wanting his brother and father, King Charles III, “back” in his life after he and Markle infamously quit the royal family in January 2020. The family briefly reunited in September after Queen Elizabeth II died at the age of 96.
