As the royal family deals with a shift in the wake of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's exit, Prince William said, during a recent royal event, that it's always better to move forward after dealing with challenges and disagreements.
The Duke of Cambridge made this poignant comment as he discussed community relations with the people of Bradford on his first official royal engagement of the year. Many observers said that it seemed like he was referencing his comments to his personal life. It's no secret that these last few weeks, rift with his brother, the Duke of Sussex, has been a headline grabber.
According to People, Prince William talked about challenges in a table discussion with several workers of a small community. Joining him was his wife, Kate Middleton, who listened intently as Prince William spoke of working together.
It's been more than a year since reports emerged that Prince William and Prince Harry had a falling out because of Meghan Markle. The Duke of Cambridge warned his younger brother about moving into his relationship with the American divorcee too fast, which the Duke of Sussex did not appreciate.
This week, a report revealed that Prince Harry and Meghan felt bullied by Prince William. However, the brothers came together to release joint statement to deny the claims in the story published by The Times.
Prince Harry and Prince William called the report "inflammatory," "offensive," and "potentially harmful." The Times acknowledged that other people close to the brothers denied the bullying claims as well.
Meanwhile, details have emerged that Prince Harry was primed to be Prince William's secret weapon when he becomes the King of England. Royal biographer Penny Junor said that their original paths were for Prince William to be the monarch with Prince Harry toeing shoulder-to-shoulder with his older brother.
The Crown wanted the brothers to complement each other. If there were areas that Prince William won't be particularly good at in his many duties as king, then Prince Harry would be the one to fill the gaps as the spare.
However, in October 2019, Prince Harry said that he has gone on a different path from his brother. A few months later, Prince William acknowledged that he and the Duke of Sussex are now separate entities, as Prince Harry plans to move out to Canada and live there half of the year with his wife and son.
