Prince Harry’s childhood remarks heard by bodyguard predicted exit with Meghan

One of Prince Harry's former bodyguards has said he overheard remarks during his childhood that foreshadowed the Duke's exit from the Royal Family alongside Meghan Markle.

Almost exactly two years ago Harry and Meghan announced that they would be stepping back from their roles as senior working royals.

After meeting with the Queen, Prince Charles and Prince William at Sandringham, the Duke of Sussex departed stateside with his new wife.

Before this, both Harry and older brother William appear to have been very much aware of their differing futures, reports The Mirror.

William is a direct heir to the throne and will one day be king, while it's likely that over time Harry will slip down the line of succession.

And at the tender age of four, Harry is said to have made a shocking outburst directed at his older brother that eerily predicted his future in The Firm.

It came as the pair were travelling from London to Gloucester for a weekend, when they started squabbling like any normal siblings.

The incident was overheard by Ken Wharfe, a long-serving protection officer to the royals, who was dismayed by what he heard.

"Diana would always take the two boys to Highgrove in Gloucestershire. On this particular occasion Diana was driving, I was sat in the front, William and Harry in the back," explained Ken in Channel 5 documentary Prince Harry: The Troubled Prince.

"They’d clearly got off to a bad start because they were arguing before we’d even left."

The young princes' nanny had to be referee as the boys argued in the back seats of the car.

Ken added: "Harry out of nowhere said: 'William, one day you’ll be king, I won’t, it doesn’t matter therefore I can do what I like'."

Their mother Princess Diana was said to be stunned by the remark and questioned where Harry had got it from.

Now more than 30 years later, the seemingly off the cuff comment appears to have become almost reality.

William, along with his wife the Duchess of Cambridge, is being primed to be a future Prince of Wales and eventually King – as the 95-year-old Queen takes on fewer duties.

While Harry and wife Meghan are now living in California after signing big-money deals with the likes of Netflix and Spotify.
