EXCLUSIVE | Friends of the royal family have scoffed at Prince Harry’s characterization of an alleged $1 million-plus payment to Prince William as evidence that a “secret agreement” was constructed by the family with a major newspaper publisher.
family-owned newspaper group is also arguing that Harry has anyway waited too long to bring a claim against them, but Harry says the existence of the “secret agreement” between the royals and NGN was part of what prevented him acting in a more timely manner.
The friend said they did not know if the report that Harry was offered the opportunity to try and get a similar deal but had “gone rogue” was accurate., told The Daily Beast that just because Harry knew about the deal did not mean it couldn’t be described as “secret”. Harry added: “With hindsight, I now understand why staff at Clarence House were being so unhelpful and were seemingly blocking our every move, as they had a specific long term strategy to keep the media onside in order to smooth the way for my stepmother to be accepted by the British public as Queen Consort when the time came, and anything that might upset the applecart in this regard was to be avoided at all costs.
