Royal experts claimed to know exactly when Prince William and his brother Prince Harry‘s relationship began to implode in a new tell-all documentary.
Despite the royal siblings being very close during their childhood and even being part of the same social circles, their bond is now quite different. Although Prince William, 43, continues to fulfill his monarchical role, Harry, 41, stepped down from his royal duties in 2020 and relocated to California with his wife, Meghan Markle, 44.
Prince William and Harry’s last in-person interaction reportedly was at their grandmother Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral in September 2022, and even then, their conversations were purportedly short, The U.S. Sun reported.
It was reported that they also didn’t have much to say to each other at their uncle’s memorial service last year, either, although they stood “virtually back to back.”
As of now, it doesn’t seem that the battling brothers will be reconciling anytime in the near future.
Royal expert Katie Nicholl outlined on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show that it became apparent to those around Prince William and Harry that they weren’t seeing eye-to-eye.
“I think the moment that we realised that there was tensions between the brothers was after I printed a story in Vanity Fair about William just urging Harry to take his time because they were engaged,” Katie said. “Of course, William had taken many years before he proposed to Kate Middleton because he wanted her to be his wife. He wanted her to be able to know that this was what she wanted for her life too.”
Katie added, “And I think, you know, what was meant to be well-intended brotherly advice landed really badly with Harry. And I think it was the start of the real unravelling of their relationship.
“I mean, Harry really, it really hurt him that he felt he didn’t have his brother’s backing over Meghan.”

Agreeing with Katie was royal expert Robert Johnson, who also gave his take on the feud between Prince William and Harry.
“I think that William was, you know, like any brother, was probably just keeping an eye out for him by saying, do you think this is happening rather quickly?” Robert noted, referring to Harry’s wife, Meghan, whom he married in 2018. “What do you really know about this girl? Should you not spend some more time getting to know her? Which had a bad reaction. He was really, really unhappy about that. He couldn’t reconcile himself about that.”
Robert continued, “Post then, it’s just been a gradual unravelling of the relationship. I’d been told that at Christmas, when Harry and Meghan went to stay with William and Kate. Harry had complained to his brother that he wasn’t sort of making enough of a fuss at Meghan, wasn’t rolling out the red carpet, that she didn’t feel terribly welcome. These were things that myself and other journalists were picking up at the time.”
He also added, “Once things had died down a bit after the wedding, I was told by people who’d been involved with the wedding, people who knew some of the senior members of the royal family, that actually all wasn’t really very well at all between Meghan and Harry and William and Kate.”
