Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have destroyed any glimmer of hope they may have had for returning to Palace life, a royal expert says.
According to the Mirror's Royal Editor Russell Myers, the Sussexes' new Netflix docuseries has left Prince William was said to be “utterly furious”.
What reportedly pushed the Prince of Wales' buttons most aggressively from the first episode, is claims of the couple's poor treatment and use of Diana's controversial Panorama interview.

As a result, Russell says, California-dwelling Harry and Meghan should not be expecting an invite to Sandringham any time soon as pre-existing tension has once again boiled over.
He writes: "Many in the family believe there is 'no way back' into the fold for the couple after their £100million Netflix series, Harry and Meghan.
"Prince William is said to be 'utterly furious' with his brother for using clips of their mother’s controversial Panorama interview.
"And the Windsors face more questions on racism after Harry suggested the entire family was afflicted by 'unconscious bias'."
Senior royals reportedly reacted with dismay as the first three episodes landed on Netflix at 8am UK time.
According to Russell, William was appalled that Netflix used footage from the 1995 Panorama interview with Princess Diana, which she agreed to do after being conned by BBC reporter Martin Bashir.
William previously said it should “never be aired again” and thought it was one thing he and his brother agreed on.
A source said: “Harry has blatantly gone against his wishes with the Panorama footage. It shows just how little regard there is from the Sussex camp. William will be rightly furious about it.

“He couldn’t have been clearer and this is one thing he would have thought he and Harry were aligned on. It shows the gulf between them couldn’t be wider.”
Sources close to the future king said he was also “exasperated” at his brother’s continued criticism two years after Harry and Meghan ditched their royal roles for a new life in California.
A spokesperson for William has been contacted for comment.
