Prince Harry and Prince William's relationship reportedly turned worst after Harry decided to step down as a senior royal. However, before their alleged rift was confirmed in an ITV documentary last year, the Duke of Sussex made a funny comment about his brother after seeing their portrait together.
The two heirs to the throne used to be incredibly close before their relationship got staled. In an unearthed 2010 report by the Daily Star, they often made a joke about each other all the time. So, what's the subject of their banters? Their hair.
When a portrait of Prince Harry and Prince William together was unveiled ten years ago, Meghan Markle's husband claimed that his hair was too ginger. He then cast a cruel joke about the Duke of Cambridge's appearance, saying he wasn't painted bald enough at the time.
Prince Harry was only 25 years old when he got a copy of their picture in a military uniform during a charity event in Barbados. "I don't know, I'm a little bit more ginger in there than I am in real life, I think," he said, via Express. "He got given more hair so, apart from that, it is what it is, but it's nice. It could have been worse."
Prince Harry's comment to Prince William was said to be the last line of a public joke he made about their hair. But before that happened, Kate Middleton's husband called his younger brother as the "ginger one" in a speech when he visited Australia and New Zealand. Harry also joked that William started going bald when he was 12.
These exchange of jokes might never happen again as their relationship is reportedly still on the rocks. Their close bond allegedly started to lose when Prince William advised Prince Harry not to rush things with Meghan Markle, People noted.
Their so-called Megxit also affected their relationship. A source said that the Sussexes' transition to move from the U.K. to Canada was hard for the two siblings. Although they didn't leave on good terms in any way, it might be good to know that they were both relieved that it's all over.
According to a palace source, Prince Harry and Prince William are talking to each other more often now. Hence, there are hopes that they will be able to fix their relationship. The insider then defended Meghan Markle and her husband, saying that it might be true that the royal couple didn't think things through with their transition, but who could blame them for only wanting to be happy.
