Prince Harry’s UK return sparks focus on Prince William rift

Prince Harry and Prince William’s relationship took centre stage after the Duke of Sussex moved back to the UK.

It has been weeks since the youngest son of King Charles returned to his homeland along with his family including Meghan Markle and their kids for an extended stay after almost six years. However, the fractured relationship between Harry and his older brother, the Prince of Wales, is under the spotlight once again.

Express news reported that Andrew Morton, biographer and author of Diana: Her True Story, talked about the dramatic shift between the estranged brothers' relationship.

"I've always argued that William saw, and so did Diana; they saw Harry as his wingman, and now he's turned into a hitman. And that's something which struck me very forcibly. But at the same time, Harry's memoir and his real-life experience were very much a whinge. [He moaned] about the fact that he got the smaller room at Balmoral, he didn't get as much money, and he wasn't treated in the same way," the royal expert said.

Adding, "Well, of course, he wasn't treated in the same way; he was the spare. The clue's in the title. William is the one who's destined to be King, but it's a very lonely position."

Andrew further noted, "The thinking was always from the Queen to Diana to the rest of the senior royals that Harry would support William. As temperamental as he was, people did feel that he would never betray the Royal Family, which sadly he did."

For those unaware, Prince Harry stepped back from his royal duties in 2020 and relocated to California along with his wife, Meghan Markle.

On the other hand, the royal commentator Kinsey Schofield questioned, in the podcast, Heirs & Spares, saying, "Does Harry not realise how harmful and hurtful [this is? ]"

Adding to the conversation, Rupert Bell said, "Exactly. Why should the King apologise? Why should William apologise? It behoves Harry to wake up and say, 'I think I might have overstepped the line', but that's not going to happen.”

The discussion then turned to the Prince of Wales, with Rupert stating, "I think William probably feels hurt, because he probably did think, 'When I become King, I can trust my younger brother to be a loyal part of the family here. He will be supportive and help me do a job that I don't have a choice to do', just as the Princess Royal has been to her brother.”

"She has been magnificent and unwavering in her loyalty to him, and Prince Edward to that extent as well. And that is what Prince William was expecting of his younger brother, but he's not going to get that because Harry and Meghan want to be the King and Queen of this country," he further claimed.
