Prince Harry has responded to claims that he is "seriously worried" about being banished from the UK by Prince William when he becomes King.
Tom Bower, a royal author who has written extensively about the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, made the bold claims in a recent interview.
He told the Mirror: “Harry is seriously worried that when his father dies one day, William will literally banish him and he will have no status in Britain at all. He will be persona non grata.”
However, a spokesperson for the Duke of Sussex exclusively told GB News in response: "It’s funny how the people who know the least about him always have the most to say."

Prince Harry, 40, has been open about wanting reconciliation with the Royal Family.
Speaking to the BBC, the father-of-two recently said: "I would love reconciliation with my family. There's no point continuing to fight any more, life is precious."
Prince Harry also said the dispute over his security had "always been the sticking point" between the Sussexes and the Royal Family.
The Duke of Sussex added that the King "won't speak to me because of this security stuff", but that he did not want to fight any more and did "not know how much longer my father has".

The prince concluded: "I can't see a world in which I would bring my wife and children back to the UK at this point."
"There have been so many disagreements between myself and some of my family," Harry added, but explained he had now "forgiven" them.
Earlier this month, representatives for Prince Harry and Buckingham Palace met in London to discuss peace talks between the two camps.
Since stepping back from royal life, Meghan Markle and Harry have had a strained relationship with King Charles and Prince William.
