Prince Harry has been written out of King Charles' Coronation script, it was claimed today, as royal insiders said Prince William is 'burning with anger' amid the bombshell revelations in the Duke of Sussex's memoirs, the Daily Mail reports.

In his new tell-all autobiography Spare, Harry made a series of sensational claims about his brother and father, describing the Prince of Wales as his 'arch-nemisis' and accusing the King of being worried he would be 'overshadowed' by Meghan's Hollywood star power.

The Royal Family has thus far remained silent on the matter, refusing to respond to the Duke's incendiary anecdotes, but the Sunday Times today said a royal source claimed Harry has been omitted from the proceedings of King Charles' upcoming Coronation in May.

News of Harry's removal from the ceremony comes as the Duke appeared on ITV this evening to speak about the guilt he felt following the death of his mother, the Princess of Wales, in 1997.

'Prince Harry has been written out of the script for the Coronation, with no official role in the service if he attends,' the paper's Royal Editor tweeted.

'Breaking with tradition, Charles will scrap royal dukes kneeling and paying homage to the monarch. Only William will perform that role

'As things stand, there is no role for Harry in the service,' a royal source reportedly declared.'

MailOnline has approached Buckingham Palace and the Duke of Sussex's representatives for comment. 

Meanwhile, friends of William told the Sunday Times that the heir is 'burning with anger' but is also 'anxious and sad' over Harry's comments, which one friend described as 'cowardly'.

'[William] won't retaliate, he never would, because he's dignified and unbelievably loyal,' one friend said.

'It's cruel, cowardly and so sad for William to keep taking the punches. He's keeping quiet for the good of his family and the country.' 

As the royal insiders spoke out, Harry appeared on ITV this evening to detail his memories of meeting mourners following the death of his mother, Princess Diana.

The Duke said he and William were unable to show any emotion as they met the mourners.

In one sensational passage, Harry described a stand-up row that ended with the Prince of Wales grabbing him by the collar and throwing him to the floor, leaving him with 'scrapes and bruises' on his back after he landed on a dog bowl, shattering it.

The furious row allegedly broke out in the kitchen of his London home, Nottingham Cottage, in the grounds of Kensington Palace in 2019 – shortly before Megxit.

William is said to have branded Meghan 'difficult', 'rude' and 'abrasive' and insisted he was trying to help his younger brother during a meeting about 'the whole rolling catastrophe' of their failing relationship and Harry's rows with the Press.

Harry accused his brother of 'parroting the press narrative' about his American wife before a screaming match ensued, ending in a physical altercation, the book claims.
