Issuing this statement was a bold and unprecedented step for Harry.

Up until that point, the royal family had strictly adhered to the mantra, “Never complain, never explain” when dealing with the media.

In his 2023 memoir, Spare, Harry, 39, revealed that his decision to break that tradition had deeply angered his father, King Charles, and his brother, Prince William. According to him, the move exposed their failure to publicly defend their own spouses, Queen Camilla and Kate Middleton.

“My statement generated a whole new onslaught — from my family,” he recalled in the book. “Pa and Willy were furious. They gave me an earful. My statement made them look bad, they both said. ‘Why in hell?’ Because they’d never put out a statement for their girlfriends or wives when they were being harassed.”

This isn’t the first time the palace has made adjustments to Harry’s page on its website. Earlier this year, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s individual profiles were merged into a condensed joint biography.

The pair, who tied the knot in May 2018, stepped down from their roles as senior royals in January 2020.

Buckingham Palace did not respond to requests for comment.
