In the re-airing of DIY SOS's special 2015 episode with Prince William and Prince Harry, it broke a lot of hearts. The show took fans down the memory lane as it featured the royal brothers' closeness before issues about an alleged rift arose last year. Fans couldn't help but fill the social media with their sentiments, hoping their relationship would be mend once again.
In the special episode, Prince William and Prince Harry participated in a project that would turn dilapidated streets in Newton Heath, Manchester, into homes to house ex-service personnel. Here, they could be seen smiling together while wearing personalized hard hats bearing their names and steel-toe boots.
The Dukes of Cambridge and Sussex helped in with the renovations as they showed their funny sides that "triggered a wave of nostalgia among royal fans," Daily Mail noted. They also made jokes and tried to one-up each other as they went into a brotherly competition.
The show reminded everyone how close Prince William and Prince Harry were at the time. Kate Middleton's husband even talked about how vital brotherhood and family were in the show. Hence, fans couldn't help but compare their one close relationship to the icy bond they have today.
One fan hoped that the princes would one day "get back to being mates." Another one added that they missed seeing the dukes happy together. Someone also said that it was quite a shame that Meghan Markle's husband decided to leave the monarchy.
According to The Sun, Prince William and Prince Harry's alleged rift began when the initial advised his little brother about "moving too fast" with his relationship with the now-Duchess of Sussex. In an explosive ITV documentary last year, Harry admitted "he had grown apart" from his older sibling, and they were now on "different paths."
Anyhow, as brothers, the sixth in line to the throne affirmed they would always be siblings. Although they were taking different paths, he's sure that he would always be there for him as he would for Prince William. Prince Harry also revealed that they didn't see each other much today because they were both too busy.
He then confessed his love for Prince William, and the lots of rumors about them were only "created out of nothing." "But as brothers, you have good days; you have bad days," he said.
During the secret peace talks and negotiations over the so-called Megxit with Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince Harry reportedly ended their conflict and once again became amicable. A senior royal source revealed the two spent some time together, worked on their relationship, and discussed their future away from the official Sandringham Summit.
