The rift between Prince William and Prince Harry started ever since the Duke got married to Meghan Markle.
Back in 2019, when the Spare author exchanged the wedding vows with the Duke of Sussex in a royal wedding, rumours started circulating the brothers were on “different paths.”
William tried to open the eyes of his brother who was “blindsided by lust” before the marriage, as per a book Finding Freedom.
The co-authors Carolyn Durand and Omid Scobie recently revealed the two-word remark of the Prince of Wales which made Harry furious.
William told his younger brother to "take as much time as you need to get to know this girl."
But Harry got offended over the phrase “this girl” and interpreted it as "snobbish and condescending".
However, the Duke tried to make things even with his brother by reportedly disrespecting Kate Middleton.
A close friend of the royal couple previously told The Daily Beast, "William takes offence at people calling Catherine 'Kate', because she has asked to be known as Catherine.”
The source added, “It's a fairly simple wish to respect. I'm sure Meghan wouldn't like it if William started publicly calling her 'Meghan Markle,' Of course it's an utterly trivial thing, but those of us who know William know that it is one of the things that pushes his buttons.”
Coming to royal engagements, Prince William made a grand entrance at a BAFTA event on October 9, 2024.
