Royal Family LIVE: Crunch point in William and Harry's feud exposed as 'fight' questioned
A new biography reveals a pivotal moment in the feud between Prince William and Prince Harry, particularly relating to comments made during a 2019 interview.
A newly released biography titled 'William and Catherine: The Intimate Inside Story' by Russell Myers has uncovered a crucial moment in the long-standing feud between Prince William and Prince Harry. This conflict became dramatically public during a September 2019 documentary featuring Harry and Meghan during their South Africa visit. In the show, Harry disclosed feelings of being on 'different paths' from his brother, highlighting the complexities of their relationship. These candid remarks are now seen as a significant turning point in the public perception of their familial bond.
The biography details how Harry's comments about their relationship dynamic during the interview triggered feelings of betrayal in William. It was particularly distressing for William since he had developed a friendship with Tom Bradby, the ITV journalist who conducted the interview. William thought Bradby had taken Harry's side, deepening his sense of betrayal and disappointment. This incident marked a shift, leading to a more pronounced and public feud between the two brothers, and illuminating the rifts within the royal family during that turbulent period.
In the context of the ongoing discussions around privacy, royal duties, and mental health, the biography illustrates the challenges faced by the younger royals as they navigated their roles in the family and the public sphere. The revelations not only shed light on personal grievances but also reflect broader issues regarding the press's involvement in royal matters. As the public continues to grapple with the implications of such private conflicts, the biography serves as a noteworthy addition to the ongoing narrative of the British royal family.
