Prince William is having a hard time following his brother Prince Harry's bombshell interview with Meghan Markle and Oprah Winfrey.
Just weeks ago, Harry and Markle sat down with the "Color Purple" star to discuss their struggles since the Duchess joined the royal family.
In the sit-down, the pair made allegations of racism and turning a blind eye to mental health needs against the royal family and the Institution at large.
Since the interview first aired, it has become understood that William, 38, is not pleased with his brother and sister-in-law, who also made mention of William's wife, Kate Middleton, during the interview.
Now, a source has told Us Weekly that the Duke of Cambridge wants to publicly share his side of the story.

"The queen is insisting that the royals handle the matter privately," said the insider
Furthermore, they also said that Queen Elizabeth II "thinks that retaliating will only add fuel to the fire and make the situation worse."
That doesn't mean William isn't antsy about responding to the claims, however.
"William is struggling to hold back," shared the source. "He wants to get his side out there."
