The future King of Great Britain and his journalist confidante, Tom Bradby, have severed ties over the Meghan and Harry controversy.

Royal sources claim the two-decades-long friendship between Prince William and Tom Bradby is now over because the heir was annoyed that the journalist sides with his brother.

The host of ITV News at 10 sided with the Sussexes in the increasingly bitter 'war of the Windsors' that has been in the public eye for the last month since Oprah Winfrey interviewed the couple on ITV.

William, who once had regular calls with Bradby, now feels like he can no longer trust him.

A royal insider told MailOnline: "The friendship between William and Tom is very much over. The Duke feels let down by Bradby and the way he's acted over the past few months.

"William is a sensitive soul and believes it's in times of crisis when you find out who your true friends are. It would be fair to say Bradby hasn't been one of them."

It's believed the royals have increasing anger towards Bradby and ITV for their support of the couple.

Bradby, 54, was the host of an ITV documentary filmed in South Africa in 2019 when Meghan Markle revealed: "Not many people have asked if I'm okay.

  • Royal fans gush over Prince Harry's resemblance to Prince Philip in military uniform

"It's a very real thing to go through behind the scenes. It has really been a struggle."

Prince Harry also shares a glimpse into the royal feud during the documentary as he described their relationship as being "on different paths."

Bradby is now believed to have been central to ITV being granted broadcasting rights Oprah Winfrey's controversial interview, in which, the couple dropped bombshell allegations at the monarchy, including claims a senior royal had made racist comments about their future child's skin colour.

The royal source added: "Some staff at the Palaces are even angrier about Bradby and the tone of his reporting at ITV News, which they consider to be pro-Harry and Meghan.

"It's well-known Bradby personally communicates with Harry on a regular basis and that is pretty obvious to royal aides who know how things work.

"But it's been very difficult to accept given the long history between Bradby and William."
