Amid breakup, Prince William talks about his bond with Prince Harry in a documentary

Prince William publicly acknowledged his brother, Prince Harry, in a recent documentary. This was the first time he mentioned it amid the current family breakup. In his new ITV documentary titled ‘Prince William: We Can End Homelessness’, the Prince of Wales reflected on an important childhood memory he shared with Harry during a visit to a homeless charity.

According to a report in the New York PostWilliam recalled: “My mother took me to The Passage; She took Harry and me there. I must have been 11 at the time, maybe 10. I had never been to anything like this before and I was a little anxious about what to expect.”

A photograph from the visit shows the young princes at the charity, with Harry sitting on the lap of his mother, Princess Diana, both smiling at the camera.

The Prince recalled how Princess Diana’s presence created a joyful atmosphere at the centre; He made people “feel relaxed,” laughing and joking with them. He said: “I remember at the time thinking, ‘Well, whoever doesn’t have a house, they’re all going to be very sad,’ but it was incredible how happy the atmosphere was.”

Relations between the two brothers became strained after Harry’s marriage to Meghan Markle. While the official Kensington Palace account posted a 40th birthday wish for Harry, William’s comments in the documentary represent a rare public reference to his brother in recent years.

Tensions rose when Harry and Meghan moved to California in 2020, followed by their high-profile interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, where they made accusations of racism against an unnamed member of the royal family. The release of his Netflix docuseries, ‘Harry & Meghan,’ in 2022 and Harry’s memoir, ‘Spare,’ have further complicated the family dynamic, particularly after Harry accused William of physically attacking him during an argument about Meghan.

In June, Harry turned down an invitation to the wedding of Hugh Grosvenor, the Duke of Westminster, due to William’s expected attendance. Although Harry was invited, he refused to attend for fear of an “awkward” confrontation with William, a royal expert said. Fox News Digital.

Although Harry made a brief visit to London in February 2024 to meet King Charles following the monarch’s cancer diagnosis, he did not meet William at the time. Their last conversation is believed to have taken place in 2022, after the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
