William & Harry - Divide Deepens

Meghan’s determination to forge her own way intensifies royal rift

They were brothers who leaned on each other as they “went through hell together” following the death of Diana, Princess of Wales. But Prince William and Prince Harry’s relationship is now so fractured following Megxit, the Oprah Winfrey interview and a strained reunion at Prince Philip’s funeral, that the pair cannot put their differences aside for one day to honour their beloved mum.

The siblings are scheduled to appear together on July 1, at the unveiling of a statue dedicated to Princess Diana on the grounds of her former home at Kensington Palace. The event marks what would have been her 60th birthday if she had not been killed in a car crash in 1997.

MOVING WITH THE TIMES

The Cambridge’s new YouTube channel has won over fans who have praised the pair for providing an “intimate” look at their lives.

“You might have thought they’d go for a joint statement and speech, but that’s not the case,” a palace insider told British newspaper The Sun. “Each has insisted on preparing their own. It is a big concern that their body language will suggest all is not well and they won’t present a united front.”

The Duchess of Sussex is leaving Harry to handle all the fallout with his family following the couple’s bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey on March 7, where they made allegations of racism against the royals. The Duchess of Sussex, 39, has instead focused on pursuing her own passion projects in LA before taking maternity leave following the birth of her daughter, who is due in coming weeks.
