Prince Harry and Prince William’s once-close relationship took a significant turn that would forever change their bond, according to a royal expert.
Tina Brown, former editor-in-chief at Tatler, has shed light on the moment when the two princes began to drift apart, leaving their relationship altered forever.
The turning point, as Brown reveals, occurred when Prince William married Kate Middleton in 2011.
This marked a significant milestone in his life, and understandably, his focus shifted towards his new marriage.
It was during this time that the connection between the two brothers began to weaken.
However, despite the growing distance, it is worth noting that Prince Harry still maintained a close relationship with the couple.
In fact, he once described Kate as the sister he had always wanted but never had, highlighting the enduring bond between them.
According to Brown’s book, The Palace Papers, another pivotal moment that impacted the brothers’ relationship was the birth of Princess Charlotte in 2015.
As William grew closer to the Middleton family, Harry started feeling displaced and struggled to understand his brother’s deep connection with his in-laws.
The Middleton’s home in Bucklebury, in particular, brought Harry to tears, further exacerbating their growing divide.
In 2018, two years after their own wedding, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made a life-altering decision.
They relocated to the United States, settling in California with their young son, Archie.
