Prince William and Harry fell out years before Megxit and ‘no longer speaking’, says royal expert
Prince Harry and Prince William have been distanced for years even before the Duke of Sussex’s decision to step down from the royal family in 2020.
Harry and William have held a tense and distanced relationship since Harry and wife Meghan Markle stepped down from the royal family four years ago before later moving to the US. Following their exit the couple opened up in interviews and the media detailing their experience of the royal family, with some controversial comments that appeared to have caused a rift in the family and angered senior royals including the Prince of Wales.
Yet the two brothers were already in a fall out according to royal biographer Robert Lacey, who claims the pair have had arguments as far back as 2002
In his best-selling Battle of Brothers Lacey wrote: “Meghan was not the original factor in Prince Harry’s decision to get shot of his family. In January 2005 following the “Colonials and Natives” costume fiasco, we now know that Prince Harry was drawn to re-evaluate his elder brother’s involvement and the unfairness of William’s emergence smelling of roses. It made Harry feel alienated. Friends recall “no speaks” and quite a serious rift between the brothers at the time – as there had been after the “Drugs Shame” of 2002, when Harry had first started to realise the price of playing the functional scapegoat
In the wake of the Princess of Wales revealing to the world that she had been diagnosed with cancer, it had been thought that Prince Harry and Prince William could be reunited even in brief conversations with distancing in place.
