Prince William and Prince Harry have not discussed their alleged rift in public. However, the Duke of Sussex seemingly confirmed all the rumors when he said that he and his brother are on “different paths" now.
There has been much speculation as to what happened that led to Prince William and Prince Harry’s feud. Some allege that the Duke of Sussex was not too happy that his older brother didn’t seem to support his whirlwind romance with Meghan Markle. Others claimed it was all about money.
Whatever the reason, Princess Diana’s former bodyguard believes that the People’s Princess could have fixed Prince William and Prince Harry’s frosty relationship. Ken Wharfe said that the Princess of Wales would have “quickly instigated a resolution." He noted that if their mother would see them at war, she would be "very upset about it."
Prince William and Prince Harry’s close bond is one of the main reasons the public loves them. But then many have noticed the huge change in their relationship after the Duke of Sussex married Meghan Markle in 2018.
Since Prince William and Prince Harry appeared to be less close after Meghan Markle came into the picture, many blamed the Duchess of Sussex for the alleged feud of the brothers. A report then claimed that the rift started way before the former actress became a part of the Royal Family.
Royal experts shared in the Channel 5 documentary Prince Harry: The Troubled Prince that the brothers didn’t always see eye to eye. In one particular incident, Prince Harry allegedly made a shocking outburst at Prince William.
Ken Wharfe shared that when Princess Diana took Prince William and Prince Harry to High Grove in Gloucestershire, the brothers were already arguing even before they left. "Harry out of nowhere said: 'William, one day you’ll be king, I won’t, it doesn’t matter therefore I can do what I like,’” he said.
Columnist Richard Kay explained that Prince Harry’s outburst could be taken in two ways: envy or freedom. He was either jealous that his older brother is the future king and he’s not, or he was enjoying his freedom of not having that burden.
Even though Prince William wasn’t so keen on becoming King when he was younger, he’s fitting the role more and more each day. He and Kate Middleton are two of the most popular and well-loved members of the Royal Family.
