Inside The Family Feud That’s Driving The Brothers Apart.

Battle Of Wills ...As Harry Puts Meghan First

They’ve always been close, their bond becoming particularly strong after they tragically lost their mum at a young age.

So the news that there’s a rift in the relationship between royal brothers Princes William and Harry has been greeted with sadness. Now those who know the pair well are hoping that spending Christmas together will give the siblings a chance to mend fences and heal the hurt both are feeling.

It’s become clear in recent weeks that there are tensions between William and his wife Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge, and Harry and his love Meghan, Duchess of Sussex.

An alleged feud between the two women has been blamed for the friction, but in fact it is the brothers who are responsible for the frostiness between the two couples, says a well-placed source.

Issues first arose after Harry (34) began dating Meghan (37) back in 2016. William was introduced to her when she stayed with Harry at Kensington Palace, but after Meghan returned to Canada to work on her TV series Suits, he challenged his younger brother about his new girlfriend.

The source says William (36) sat Harry down for what was meant to be a brotherly chat, during which he advised him to take things slowly with Meghan.

“William told his brother they knew nothing about her background, her intentions or what she was really like. He just wanted to stress that becoming part of the royal family is a massive undertaking, and the pressure and scrutiny is unrelenting. Was Meghan the right one?”

Harry did not take too kindly to William’s words, the insider says. “Harry went mental. He accused his brother of trying to finish his romance before it had begun. The brothers’ relationship hasn’t really recovered.”
