In a recent skit on his talk show, Jimmy Kimmel took a light-hearted jab at the ongoing feud between Princes William and Harry.
The sketch, titled “Two Princes, A True Story,” features two actors portraying the royal brothers squabbling in a kitchen setting.
The skit playfully mocks an alleged confrontation that Harry describes in his explosive memoir.
According to Harry, the heated argument with William escalated to the point where his older brother grabbed him by the collar and threw him to the floor, causing a dog bowl to shatter.
Harry claims to have suffered scratches and bruises during the scuffle, which took place at his London residence, Nottingham Cottage.
The skit, which comes with a language warning, showcases actors dressed as the Duke of Sussex and Prince of Wales in flamboyant outfits reminiscent of pop legend Prince.
As the fight commences, William dramatically shakes his hair and calls Harry a derogatory term.
The two engage in a catfight, slapping each other with their eyes closed.
Eventually, Harry lands on the dog bowl, resulting in its destruction and pieces cutting into his back.
The skit continues with William twirling a necklace around and the dog bowl shattering into fragments.
Harry claims to have made William “face the music,” prompting the actor to pull out a purple guitar and play a riff, causing William to cover his ears in agony.
The skit includes a zoom-in on a calendar from 2018 featuring a picture of the Queen, symbolizing the ongoing conflict.
As the skit concludes, the two princes bow to the cameras, laughing, while flowers are thrown at them and the curtains close.
However, reactions to the skit on Twitter were mixed.
While some found it hilarious, others couldn’t overlook the sad state of the brothers’ strained relationship.
This isn’t the first time details of the confrontation have surfaced.
Robert Lacey previously mentioned the event in his book about the feud between the Wales brothers, confirming that the exchange became heated.
According to Harry, William referred to Meghan as difficult, rude, and abrasive, parroting the press.
This allegedly led to William grabbing Harry’s shirt, ripping his necklace, and causing him to fall onto the floor, breaking a dog bowl.
In addition to the physical altercation, William reportedly instructed Harry not to inform Meghan about the incident, which Harry initially complied with.
Instead of confiding in his wife immediately, Harry reached out to his therapist.
This revelation raises questions about the narrative surrounding Meghan’s mental health struggles and the difficulties she faced in seeking help.
Harry later revealed that Meghan discovered the cuts on his back, but she wasn’t surprised, only saddened by the situation.
In an interview with ITV’s Tom Bradby, Harry discussed the tussle with William, stating that his brother was so frustrated during the incident that he saw “red mist.”
Despite the provocation, Harry chose not to retaliate physically.
As the public continues to dissect the revelations from Harry’s memoir, some have called for legal action against William for assault.
However, it is worth noting that the alleged fight between the siblings occurred four years ago.
The differing accounts of the incident and the subsequent fallout raise further questions about the truth behind the royal rift.
While Jimmy Kimmel’s skit provided a lighthearted take on the ongoing feud between Princes William and Harry, it also served as a reminder of the complexities and challenges within their relationship.
As the public eagerly awaits further insights into the royal drama, the divide between the two brothers remains a topic of great interest and speculation.
