Prince William and Kate Middleton have been married for over a decade, and while their union remains strong, Prince William’s relationship with his brother, Prince Harry, has deteriorated. Much of the tension stems from Harry’s marriage to Meghan Markle, a former TV star. Their wedding in 2018 was a global event, but it wasn’t entirely joyful for William. Reports suggest he had concerns about Meghan’s wedding attire, especially in relation to their mother, Princess Diana.
Harry’s relationship with Meghan developed quickly after their blind date in 2016, and while William publicly supported them, he privately urged his brother to take things slow. Harry was upset by William’s caution, and the two brothers began to drift apart.
Meghan faced significant challenges within the royal family, and in a candid interview with Oprah Winfrey, she revealed her struggles with royal life. Harry believed that William and Kate hadn’t done enough to help Meghan settle into her new role, further straining their relationship.
When Harry and Meghan’s wedding day arrived, their father, Thomas Markle, didn’t attend, leading Prince Charles to walk Meghan down the aisle. Despite family tensions, the ceremony was a success. However, behind the scenes, William was reportedly uncomfortable with Meghan wearing items from Princess Diana’s jewelry collection, reflecting deeper concerns about the marriage.
Today, the rift between William and Harry remains wide. As the Duke and Duchess of Sussex build their lives in the U.S., William and Kate have also taken steps to expand their royal foundation into America, leading to speculation about further tensions between the two couples. Whether the brothers will ever reconcile remains uncertain.
