Prince William was furious that family matters were discussed in the public domain during Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey, an updated book has claimed.
Harry and Meghan sat down with the talk show host in March for a tell-all chat in which they made several claims against the royal family.
They alleged there had been conversations about how dark son Archie's skin would be and Meghan revealed she had "suicidal thoughts" during her time in The Firm and claimed she was denied help for her mental health.
Days after the interview was aired, William was asked if the Royal Family was a racist family during an engagement at a east London school. He replied: “We’re very much not a racist family.”
Now in the updated version of the couple's unauthorised biography, Finding Freedom, it is claimed that William was not happy about the interview.
The Independent reports the authors of the book write that according to their sources, William “was understood to be ‘furious’ that private family matters were being discussed in the public domain”.
It also says he will most likely not comment on the claims made in the Oprah interview again.

Finding Freedom, originally published last year and written by Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand, chronicles Harry and Meghan's romance and brief period as members of the monarchy before they broke away to forge a new life for themselves and son Archie in the US.
It is being re-released next week in paperback version and will include a new epilogue.
The epilogue also sees friends of the couple claim the Queen has not taken "full ownership" of the issues they raised during the Oprah interview.
Following the airing of the chat, Buckingham Palace issued a statement saying she was "saddened" by the allegations, but added that "some recollections may vary".
In an extract of the updated book featured in PEOPLE, the authors say the statement "did not go unnoticed".
The extract also said Harry and Meghan were nervous about sitting down with Oprah but decided they needed to speak up now, or never.
It reads: "There were so many things they were unable to say [before stepping back from their royal roles]."
The updated book is said to have been written with the participation of those closest to the Sussexes - however, the couple were not directly involved.
Last month, publisher of the book HarperCollins said the epilogue in the paperback edition will share : "Behind the scenes of Harry and Meghan's groundbreaking interview with Oprah, details behind the couple's move to California (and) the various philanthropic and business endeavours the Sussexes have been involved with since their move and what's to come with Archewell Productions."
It will also feature: "The continuous challenges the couple face regarding privacy and the British press (and) the heartbreak the couple felt over Prince Philip's death."
