Prince Harry and Prince William had been working hand in hand in a lot of projects and charities. However, speculations of a rift between the royal brothers and their wives started to make its rounds on the internet when the Sussexes removed themselves from a joint foundation with the Cambridges.
Now, Prince Harry and Prince William will divide the future proceeds of the Diana, Princess of Wales Memorial Fund. The fundraiser was set up in Princess Diana’s name, and the royal brothers previously used it as a joint initiative to raise funds for their own charities. Royal commentator Camilla Tominey claimed that their division is “quite symbolic.”
"The idea that those Diana-related funds are now going in two different directions. We don't really know whether brothers have particularly been in touch,” she said.
Prince Harry and Prince William would be the first ones to admit that they don’t have a perfect relationship. The sons of Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana may be born royals, who are presented to be flawless in fairytale books, but they are not immune to sibling rivalry.
But Prince Harry and Prince William brushed off those silly rivalries aside and grew up to be really close. However, their relationship started going downhill after the younger prince married Meghan Markle in 2018.
Camilla Tominey said that five months after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s wedding, the royal brothers appeared to be distant from each other. Although Prince William and Prince Harry were happy and close during the latter’s nuptials, earlier reports claimed that the Duke of Cambridge already voiced his concerns before the wedding regarding how fast his brother and the former actress’ relationship was going.
While Prince William only meant well when he advised Prince Harry to slow things down, the Duke of Sussex, reportedly, didn’t take it well as he saw it as criticism, He was also upset that he felt that his older brother was not being supportive of his relationship with Meghan Markle.
Late last year, Prince Harry finally addressed the status of his relationship with Prince William. The Duke of Sussex explained that he and his brother are “on different paths” now, but assured everyone that they will always love and support each other.
However, another report brought back hope that Prince Harry and Prince William will finally mend their close bond. Royal expert Katie Nicholl shared that the royal brothers are chatting on video calls.
