Prince Harry confirmed he and his brother Prince William aren't as close as they once were, RadarOnline.com can report.
The Duke of Sussex opened up about the relationship with his brother for an upcoming ABC documentary, Harry & Meghan: An African Journey, which will air on October 23rd.
“Part of this role and part of this job, this family, being under the pressure that it’s under, inevitably stuff happens,” he said. “But look, we’re brothers, we’ll always be brothers. We’re certainly on different paths at the moment but I’ll always be there for him and as I know he’ll always be there for me.”
He continued, “We don’t see each other as much as we used to because we’re so busy, but I love him dearly. The majority of this stuff in the press is created out of nothing, but as brothers, you know, you have good days, you have bad days.”
Radar readers know there was a feud between the brothers' wives Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle that had been going on for months since Harry asked the former Hollywood star to marry him. At the time, royal insiders said both Kate, 37, and William, 37, believed Meghan’s values were very different from their own, and they were not fond of her "diva" demands and treatment to staff.
Harry and Meghan eventually split court with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to pursue their own passions and settled into their new home in Frogmore Cottage.
At one point, they unfollowed William and Kate on Instagram.
Then one week later, Kate decided to make peace with the Sussexes.
“The rift between the brothers and their wives has ripped the royals apart — and Kate decided enough was enough,” a high-level palace source told Radar.
“She was heartbroken her children, Princes George and Louis and Princess Charlotte, wouldn’t be close to Harry and Meghan’s child.
“It was awkward at first but the couples ended up hugging and promising to get together privately soon,” dished the insider.
Not too long after, eight days after baby Archie was born, they visited the Duke, Duchess and Baby of Sussex.
