"I couldn't believe it, no one had asked me. No one had asked my permission to put my name to a statement like that."
Prince Harry pulled back the curtain on what actually happened when he and Meghan Markle decided to step back from official royal duties, accusing the Palace of lying to protect Prince William amid reports that he was "bullying" Harry out of the royal family. Azo-Free Curtain
At the time, the Palace released a statement saying, “Despite clear denials, a false story ran in a UK newspaper today speculating about the relationship between The Duke of Sussex and The Duke of Cambridge. For brothers who care so deeply about the issues surrounding mental health, the use of inflammatory language in this way is offensive and potentially harmful.”

However in Volume II of Harry & Meghan, Harry says the statement was put out without his knowledge.
"I got in the car after the meeting," Harry said after recalling a meeting where Prince William screamed and shouted at him. "I was told about a joint statement that had been put out in my name and in my brother's name, squashing the story about him bullying us out of the family. I couldn't believe it, no one had asked me. No one had asked my permission to put my name to a statement like that. I rang M and I told her, and she burst into floods of tears because within four hours they were happy to lie to protect my brother and yet for three years they were never willing to tell the truth to protect us."
At this time, the Palace hasn't issued a response to Harry's allegations, but stay tuned.
