It’s also been previously reported that some of them have felt as though they needed to take sides between him and his brother Prince William.

Express.co.uk takes a look at some of Harry’s closest allies who have remained loyal to him throughout his ongoing rift with his Family.

Tom Inskip

Tom Skippy Inskip has been one of Harry’s oldest friends. The two attended Eton together and enjoyed regular nights out.

His father, Owen Inskip, is a friend of King Charles and also Field Master of the Beaufort Hunt.

Harry and Tom had a fallout over Meghan’s suitability as a royal, however they reconciled after Prince Archie’s birth and Tom’s mother-in-law passed away.

Guy Pelly

Guy – known as the “court jester” and the “party animal” of the circle – has been close with Harry for years.

His mother, Lady Carolyn Herbert was also close friends with the late Princess Diana.

Pelly was present at Harry’s Nazi costume party incident – in which he appeared by his side dressed as his grandmother Queen Elizabeth II.

Dubbed the “third brother” by some, Guy is also friends with Prince William and has organised the heir to the throne’s stag do, while both brothers attended his wedding.

Charlie van Straubenzee

Charlie, along with his two brothers, Thomas and Henry, who died in a car crash in 2002, were some of the Duke’s oldest friends too.

They all attended Ludgrove School and remained friends into their adult lives.

Harry wrote in his memoir that Charlie’s brother, Henry, died “just like mummy” – as Diana had also died in a car crash in Paris in 1997.

The pair were best men at each other’s weddings.

Mark Dyer

Nicknamed Marko, Dyer was a royal aide and trusted protector of the Duke who respected him for being “an extreme ginger and owning it”.

Marko, who was often seen by the young Harry as his “second dad”, even took the prince to Botswana.

According to reports, it was Marko who told the prince off after taking drugs at Eton and he was the person Harry confided to about how lost his virginity to an older woman in a field.

Tiggy

The two princes’s childhood nanny Alexandra Pettifer, known as Tiggy Legge-Bourke was their favourite nanny even though their mother was not a fan of hers.

In Spare, Harry claimed Princess Diana saw Tiggy – who was Charles’s personal assistant from 1993 to 1999 – as a rival and suspected she was being groomed to be her replacement.

The nanny had close relationships with the royal brothers, once referring to the pair as “my babies”.
