If the tensions between princes William and Harry have not escaped anyone, there was a time when the two brothers were very close. The eldest of the siblings has always been protective of Harry, like this day when he defended him to ensure his well-being.
Will William and Harry ever find their relationship as conniving brothers ? “We hope so”entrusted one of the relatives of the sons of Lady Diana to the Telegram emphasizing that “life is long” and “miracles happen”. It is true that after the release of the last three episodes of Harry & Meghanthe documentary series focusing on the former Duke and Duchess of Sussex, it feels more like facing a breaking point between the two brothers. Long criticized for his departure from the monarchy, Prince Harry wanted to restore his truth in the project broadcast on Netflix. He returns in particular to “this crisis meeting” held in Sandringham in early 2020 when the couple’s plan to move to California was leaked to the press. Prince Harry had the feeling of being faced with ministers, “whose purpose was not to discuss or debate”, he reveals in the series. He will never forget that moment when his brother William started yelling at him, like a disobedient child : “It was terrifying to see my brother yelling at me and my dad telling me inaccurate things, and my grandma sitting there silently cashing in. But you have to look at it from the family’s point of view, especially from his own, there is a way of doing things and his ultimate mission, his objective, his responsibility, is the institution. It was very hard. The meeting ended with no real project defined.”
The hardest part for him was certainly to understand that her relationship with her brother would never be the same again from this precise moment: “The saddest thing is this bridge that has been erected between my brother and me, he is on the side of the institution and me… But I understand, it is part of his heritage. In this sense, it is already part of him, he is responsible for the survival and continuity of this institution. However, younger, the princes were inseparable, William being in particular ready to do anything to protect his little brother who had, like him, already suffered a lot.

Protecting Harry was once Prince William’s priority
In 2018, William explained that their mother’s death left them “linked in a unique way, because of what (they) went through”. “They were closer than any siblings I’ve ever known”, abounded a source close to the two brothers for years while Miguel Head, their former press secretary, confided “having seen with (his) own eyes the closeness between the two brothers”. It is he who tells the Telegram the time William proved how much protecting his little brother was his main goal. Prince Harry, exhausted after a long trip, had agreed to answer a few questions from the media. After a long enough time, “Prince William suddenly stood up and waved it over, miming a cutthroat with his hand”. “He was simply a brother who realized that at that time nothing was more important than his brother’s well-being”he added.
