They have always protected each other but sadly, their strong bond appeared to have crumbled in recent years. Rumors about Prince William and Prince Harry’s feud continue and they are said to be dealing with more intense conflict since the latter announced that he and his family are leaving the royal family and the U.K.
Prince William is reportedly quite upset with his younger brother. Likewise, the Daily Mail reported that the princes’ relationship may be more strained than ever because the two are very upset.
Based on the report, the Duke of Cambridge thinks that his younger brother disrespected the Queen and the monarchy when the “Megxit” was revealed. It was said that the second in line to the throne was angered over the fact that Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are stepping down from their royal duties and declaring they want to be independent and planning to live in Canada.
Moreover, Prince William allegedly feels insulted by his brother and sister-in-law’s comments about the whole situation that they posted on their newly-formed website. This is because some of their statements appeared to be criticizing Her Majesty and the monarchy.
Express further reported that the brothers’ rift has been going on for more than a year and as per the insiders, William’s fury started to build up when Prince Harry and Meghan’s ITV documentary was released. In the program that aired in October, the Duke of Sussex acknowledged that he and his brother are not in good terms when he said: “we’re certainly on different paths and had good days and bad days.”
“I heard from a very good source that Prince William was furious with his younger brother for doing this interview and let him know in no uncertain terms,” the insider shared.
On the other hand, Prince Harry is also upset because he feels that the royal family did not fully accept his wife. He also thinks that the royals also abandoned his son Archie.
Prince William and Prince Harry’s conflict will not be solved any time soon because the latter already moved to another country. The distance lessened their chance to patch things up and will probably worsen their situation instead.
