Prince William’s simmering resentment towards his brother, Prince Harry, has become increasingly apparent in recent events.

During a virtual ceremony for the Diana Awards, both princes delivered speeches congratulating the winners, but they appeared separately and made no mention of each other.

The Prince of Wales, Prince Charles, took the stage first, commending the courage, compassion, and relentless dedication displayed by the young honorees.

Twenty minutes later, Harry appeared alongside a former award recipient, emphasizing the importance of collaboration with fellow campaigners to effect change, as no one can do it alone.

Interestingly, it was revealed that Harry had surprised four of the winners with their certificates during an event in Los Angeles last month.

However, this year’s lack of acknowledgement between the brothers marks a departure from previous ceremonies.

In 2021, Harry spoke about how he and William were recognizing their mother’s 60th birthday, and they had previously appeared together to pose with the winners.

In fact, just two years ago, they unveiled a statue of Princess Diana in Kensington Palace Gardens, engaging in brief conversation as they did so.

During his address in 2023, Harry highlighted how his mother’s legacy continues to serve as an example of navigating the complexities of today’s world.

On the other hand, William emphasized the unity among the award recipients, highlighting their courage, compassion, and unwavering commitment to improving the lives of others.

He also stressed the importance of acknowledging the challenges they have overcome.

The news of the brothers’ continued distance has evoked sympathy from royal fans, particularly towards Prince William.

One fan expressed their empathy, imagining the fury William must feel upon learning that Meghan claims to communicate with Diana.

It seems highly unlikely that William will willingly share the same space as Harry until a divorce occurs.

Another commenter conveyed their disbelief, stating that they would never allow Harry to honor Diana again.

They accused him and Meghan of exploiting Diana’s name, insulting William’s wife, children, grandparents, father, and the entire family, including the country.

The commenter emphasized that William’s love for his mother is evident in every photo, implying the depth of his current frustration.

It is believed that Prince William’s lingering hurt and anger stem from the turmoil Prince Harry put their grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, through during her final years, as well as his attacks on their mother, Princess Diana.

The wounds of Megxit still fester within William, not to mention Harry’s unflattering portrayal of him in Christopher Anderson’s book, “The King.”

In the book, Harry characterizes his older brother as his arch-nemesis, describing him as scolding, overbearing, brooding, and even violent.

Harry seemingly resents the fact that William, as the heir, was given a free pass for actions for which Harry faced severe criticism.

Despite this, William has managed to compartmentalize his emotions, distancing himself from Harry and Meghan, allowing him to fulfill his duties as the Prince of Wales.

In conclusion, the strained relationship between Prince William and Prince Harry continues to unfold, with their recent lack of interaction during the Diana Awards ceremony serving as a stark reminder of their growing distance.

While Harry emphasizes collaboration and the importance of collective action, William focuses on unity and recognizing the challenges overcome by the award recipients.

The public’s sympathy lies with William, who is still grappling with the repercussions of Megxit and Harry’s portrayal of him in the media.

It remains to be seen whether these tensions can be resolved or if the divide between the brothers will persist.
