My view is that this is all very cut and dry for me, I basically believe Harry based on the fact that he is a man of reasonable character, I have no reason to doubt him (what he is being paid for books and interviews is completely irrelevant to me). My view is that Williams account would be the same as Harry's, the thing is you will never hear his (or anyone else's in the Royal Family) account. "Never explain, never complain" (except what they "put out" or plant in the media).
That's fair enough...and you're right we're unlikely to hear from the palace.
That's the problem.
Into the void we put our own impressions of people and their reliability, and as you say you have a bit of respect for the cut of Harry's jib.
My position is that Harry may fully believe everything he says, but he can't be in the heads of the other people involved...and the reasons for their actions.
The emotional aspects also come into play. He may feel slights against him much more keenly. Being ignored by your older brother in the playground is basically par for the course. For the younger brother in a new and unfamiliar situation it could be very distressing.
The truth may be exactly as Harry believes, but it's not beyond possibility that in some of these situations his own emotions and repsonses have exaggerated his feelings of isolation and lack of care by his family...especially since there appears to have been some resistance to his choice of partner.
(Just as an aside...my second Grandson, a couple of years younger than my eldest is also called Harry. Two years difference (4 and 2 years old) and they're already spending most of the day fighting. Harry's sat Owen on his backside a couple of times. Hopefully they sort it out before they reach adulthood) :
