Recently, a TikTok video from a documentary filmed in 2016 has emerged, providing a glimpse into the dynamics between the two brothers. In the footage, William and Harry are watching a clip from Harry's christening in 1984, and William jokes about Harry's dress, playfully implying that it's difficult to determine if he's a boy or a girl.
Harry responds with humor, mentioning that at that stage of life, one doesn't have much say in what they wear. He then remarks lightheartedly about how William was initially excited to have a younger brother, but the excitement didn't last long.
While this exchange may have seemed innocuous at the time, recent revelations from Harry's book suggest a deeper underlying tension between the brothers. According to the memoir, during their time at Eton, William wanted them to pretend they didn't know each other.
He instructed Harry to act as if they were strangers. This revelation contradicts the public image of a close bond between the two princes. Harry also admits to feeling saddened by the change in their relationship when William married Kate Middleton in 2011. He believed that the brother he once knew was gone forever.
In an interview with Anderson Cooper on 60 Minutes, Harry expressed his deep love for his brother and stated that his words were never intended to hurt anyone in his family. He acknowledged that there had been a lot of pain between them. However, the revelations from the TikTok video and Harry's book raise questions about the true nature of their relationship and the potential role Meghan may have played in their rift.
Interestingly, in a video from 2005 to mark his 21st birthday, Harry spoke positively about his bond with William. He mentioned that they were getting closer every year, even resorting to hugging each other when they hadn't seen each other for a while. He emphasized that they spoke to each other privately and publicly about everything, providing advice and support to one another.
