Harry & William NOW OR NEVER!

CAN THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF THEIR MUM DIANA'S DEATH BRING THE BROTHERS TOGETHER - OR IS IT TOO LATE?

- Karleigh Smith

When rumours first began circulating that there was tension between Princes Harry and William, scarcely anyone could believe them. After all, the Wales brothers had grown up in front of a world that delighted in the obvious closeness between them.

Indeed, after losing their mother Princess Diana in 1997 - when William was 15 and Harry was 12 - their shared grief, unimaginable to most, seemed to unite them even further.

But in 2018, just after Harry's thenfiancée Meghan Markle's first appearance at the family's Sandringham Christmas, the rumbles of discord among the brothers reached a deafening roar with Harry reportedly accusing William of not doing enough to make his future wife feel welcome. In turn, William aired concerns that Harry should "slow down, take some time to get to know this girl". And the rest, as they say, is history.

Four years later, royal insiders exclusively tell WHO that the brothers "couldn't be on worse terms if they tried", with Harry since moving to the United States and doing several interviews airing dirty royal laundry about his relatives.

Respected biographer Tom Bower, who recently released Revenge: Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors, last week insisted that they will "never reconcile" because the Sussexes are convinced that William's "staff were smearing Meghan".

"[Harry's] been self-indulgent and spoiled. He has caused great harm to the people he owes everything," says Tom. "He's been disloyal to his family, his friends and to Britain. Meghan controlled the entire narrative. He lost a lot of people because of her."
