The best moments of Prince Harry and Prince William
This has been a rough week for Prince Harry and Prince William, after it was announced that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex have decided to put aside their role as senior members of the British Royal Family. Amid the speculations that have occurred in the midst of this schism, there has been talk of a not very close relationship between the brothers, who over the years have been characterized by being tremendously united. So we review some of the most characteristic moments of this special connection.
Harry and William's relationship has been attributed to the loss of his mother at such a young age, but the reality is that since the birth of the youngest of Wales, the brothers became inseparable. As Princess Diana shared in a postcard to a close person, William did not want anyone other than him to get close to his little brother.
They are barely two years old, which has made the brothers inseparable over the years. This image is part of a special sequence in which it is clear that William taught Harry to walk, being especially careful so that the little one in the house did not fall. In this way, the second in the line of succession to the throne took the hand of his brother throughout the years, always being his guide and companion.
Each had a special place in the heart of his mother, who, it is known, entrusted them to stick together. Diana knew the future that awaited William, but she did her best to keep Harry from feeling left out. Despite the fact that the younger of the brothers has always been considered the mischievous of the two, her mother showed that William had his thing and it was almost always he who got Harry in trouble.
One of the most difficult moments they lived together was the loss of their mother. The world watched them walk together, shoulder to shoulder, behind the carriage that carried Princess Diana. Since then, what was already a very special brotherhood became, apparently, unshakable.
The years went by, but even the moves didn't get in the way of their relationship. The first to leave Kensington Palace was Prince William, who began studying at Eton; but it wouldn't be long for Harry to follow him and they were back together.
Public events and British society had new protagonists, William and Harry. The good-looking siblings gradually became coveted adolescents and then youngsters, breaking more than one heart in their wake.
With a relationship like this, it has not been uncommon for William and Harry to share the same passions. Their complete devotion to Africa, where they took refuge after the death of their mother, and the army, where the two served as pilots, are just some of the things they have in common.
With a future as determined as William's, Harry has been his support at all times. Despite the fact that over the years, Prince William took a more serious and sober side, preparing for the role that he will one day play, his brother has been the one who has kept him true to their close spirit, something that the two inherited from their mother.
The closeness of William and Harry was clear in each of their joint appearances, something that especially during their singleness, was a norm. The two have different facets in the Royal Family, but their personalities have always been complementary and close.
Although the two were growing in their own role within the Royal Family, the opportunities to meet were not wasted and they took advantage of when they could coincide to show the camaraderie that has always characterized them.
On William's wedding day to Kate, no one could be a better best man than Harry, who looked as excited as his brother. The joy of the brothers crossed the screens and has been commented almost a decade after the link.
The closeness with Prince William translated into a sisterhood with Kate Middleton, with whom Prince Harry was always close and loving, describing her as the sister he never had of her and longing to find a relationship like this. Something that she would come to him a few years later.
At one of the most important moments in Harry's life, Prince William accompanied his brother the day before their wedding to greet the people who had gathered to wish Harry and Meghan well outside of Windsor Palace. .
On Harry and Meghan's wedding day, William reciprocated the honor and accompanied his brother as his best man. In those moments when a nervous Harry was seen in St. George's Chapel, William showed him the support of him and tried to distract him so that he could enjoy his wedding to the fullest.
Together, seriousness was always sidelined. The Wales became children again, even at times when they were seen in official appearances. His participation in one of the Star Wars films was just one key to the complicity that always existed in their relationship.
Even after their wedding, Harry remained close with his older brother, but it was in the last few months that rumors of an estrangement began. Something that was supported by the fact that they were seen less and less in public appearances together.
If the estrangement was believed to be mere hearsay, Harry gave a statement that was not open to misinterpretation.
"We are brothers. We will always be brothers. We are definitely on our separate paths at the moment, but I will always be there for him as I know he will always be there for me. "
Leaving the rumors aside, making special reference to an article that spoke of bullying, the brothers wanted to share a joint statement in which it was read. Despite clear denials, a false story was published in a British newspaper today speculating on the relationship between the Duke of Sussex and the Duke of Cambridge. For siblings who care so deeply about mental health issues, using inflammatory language in this way is offensive and potentially damaging. "
We can't wait to see them as close as ever.
