Prince William and Kate Middleton are all-smiles on first royal engagement since Prince Harry’s memoir was released

The Prince of Wales was all smiles while leaving Windsor Castle with Princess Kate to head to a hospital in Liverpool.

Kate and William defiantly shook off Harry’s allegations as they laughed in the back seat of their Range Rover, The Sun reported.

They then arrived at the hospital, where a glowing Kate was greeted by loud cheers as she waved and spoke with adoring royal fans.

A reporter was heard shouting: “Were you hurt by the comments in Harry’s book, Sir?”

Prince William did not respond.

Meanwhile Charles also looked cheery as he arrived in Scotland for his first public appearance since the bombshell claims.

Harry used his book o claim William branded Meghan Markle “rude” and “difficult” during a row that turned physical.

Harry alleges William “grabbed me by the collar, ripping my necklace, and… knocked me to the floor”.

Harry claims he was left with a visible injury to his back following the argument in 2019 at Nottingham Cottage on the grounds of Kensington Palace, where he was living at the time.

Harry says William was already “piping hot” when he arrived wanting to talk about their deteriorating relationship.

According to Harry, it turned into a shouting match as William complained about his wife Meghan, calling her “rude” and “abrasive”.

Meanwhile, Harry also insists in his memoir that Kate was responsible for the argument between her and Meghan over bridesmaids’ dressed ahead of the Sussexes’ wedding.

Recounting the incident, Harry said Kate sent Meghan a text which read: “Charlotte’s dress is too big, too long, too baggy.

“She cried when she tried it on at home.”

He explains that Kate was apparently unwilling to meet Meghan’s tailor at Kensington Palace and the two women exchanged abrupt text messages about the issue just four days before the wedding.

Harry wrote: “Meg asked if Kate was aware of what was going on right now. With her father.

“Kate said she was well aware, but the dresses. And the wedding is in four days!” “Yes, Kate, I know . . .”, his fiancée replied sharply.

Harry said: “Meg didn’t reply to Kate straight away. Yes, she had endless wedding-related texts, but mostly she was dealing with the chaos surrounding her father.

“So the next morning she texted Kate that our tailor was standing by.”

He added: “A short time later I arrived home and found Meg on the floor. Sobbing.

“I was horrified to see her so upset, but I didn’t think it a catastrophe. Emo­tions were running high, of course, after the stress of the last week, the last month, the last day.

“It was intolerable but temporary. Kate hadn’t meant any harm, I told her.”

The next day Kate arrived with a bouquet of flowers and apologised to Meghan, Harry claims.
