Prince William and Prince Harry had a falling out, and it could be due to their childhood and plans, an upcoming book claims.
Prince William and Prince Harry were very close growing up. Their close bond remained until they were adults.
Many dubbed Prince Harry the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s third wheel. However, things changed when the Duke of Sussex met Meghan Markle and started his own family.
Prince William and Prince Harry’s relationship examined
Prince William and Prince Harry’s relationship had remained solid up until the latter met Meghan Markle. According to previous reports, they had a falling out because Prince Harry didn’t like it when Prince William advised him to slow down with his romance with Markle.
However, royal expert Robert Lacey will “address the unique and complex relationship at the heart of the royal family’s recent woes” in his new book Battle of Brothers: William and Harry- The Friendships and the Feuds, People reported.
“These two brothers — once inseparable and now separated by much more than mere distance — have been acting out the contradictions that go back into their childhoods and even before that: into their parents’ ill-fated marriage,” Lacey wrote.
“We have seen conflicts between heir and spare in every recent generation of the royal family — but nothing so profound as this.”
The book which will be released in October will also examine how Prince William being the “heir” and Prince Harry the “spare” has affected their bond. It will put their royal siblings’ relationship into a historical context of the “heir” and the “spare” dynamic.
Book’s synopsis teases about princes’ bond
According to Lacey’s book, the way Prince Charles and Princess Diana’s sons have been raised has affected their relationship. Both are now grown-ups and have different paths to take.
Lacey would share the untold reality of their relationship and explain how they were raised and how their parent’s divorce affected them. It will also cover how their wives Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle, affected their relationship.
Prince William and Prince Harry’s relationship update
Earlier this year, the royal siblings attended the Commonwealth Day service. Many noticed that the Cambridges snubbed the Sussexes.
According to royal commentator Phil Dampier, the older royal wanted to calm down his younger brother. Prince William did it not to make the matter worse.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex moved to the U.S. after the said event. According to Katie Nicholl, things have gotten better between the two princes.
Prince William and Prince Harry are repeatedly on speaking terms again. The Duke of Sussex reconnected with his brother while he was feeling homesick in the U.S.
“I think there is a sense of relief on both sides that this high drama is now a thing of the past,” she told Entertainment Tonight.
