Although Harry explained that even though they are both on different paths right now, they will always be there for each other, even if they don't see each other as much as they used to.
By making these remarks, the dukes broke a strict rule that Queen Elizabeth has asked all royals to follow, which is based on the idea that 'in royal families problems must be solved in private'.

'Two, max! I've always thought: this place is borrowed. And surely, being as intelligent as we all are, or as evolved as we are supposed to be, we should be able to leave something better for the next generation ', Harry confessed, so it is suspected that his answer was a hint and a wake-up call to William (who already has three children).
