In a chat with The Mirror, Quinn noted: “The fear is made worse because William knows that with his wife stricken with cancer, he cannot compete, and he can’t stop the Meghan and Harry rollercoaster.”

He continued: “William is absolutely furious and determined to prevent this from happening again in the future. Charles is said to be angrier than anyone has ever seen him.”

A UK Judge recently denied the Duke of Sussex’s request to expand his lawsuit against The Sun’s publisher, barring him from including allegations against media mogul Rupert Murdoch and presenter Piers Morgan.

Harry’s legal team had sought to sue over claims that Murdoch and other top executives were involved in concealing and destroying evidence of illegal information gathered by journalists and private investigators working for News Group Newspapers (NGN).

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the proposed amendments aimed to include allegations that The Sun ordered private investigators to target Meghan in 2016.

Harry’s bid to extend the case’s timeline to 1994 and 1995 to encompass allegations involving his late mother, Princess Diana, was also rejected by the judge, who ruled that it was “too late.”
