Following the Duke of Sussex’s explosive remarks in his recent BBC interview, royal experts suggest that Harry and William were never truly as close as they were portrayed to be.
Speaking with Sky News, Dr. Tessa Dunlop commented on the interview, “Harry was aware of what he was doing. There’s a great sadness there.” Dr. Tessa added, “But I almost wonder if we don’t feel that sadness more because of this confection of a united family that we’ve been sold from the time of Elizabeth and Phillip’s marriage, right onwards.” The expert explained, “William and Harry, shoulder to shoulder, brothers together, brothers in the face of their mother’s death, brother’s in the face of their parents’ imploding marriage, brothers at all these remembrance ceremonies, these big British events, when actually the reality was never what we were sold.” The expert elaborated that while Prince William and Prince Harry have been “shoulder to shoulder, brothers together, brothers in the face of their mother’s death, brother’s in the face of their parents’ imploding marriage, brothers at all these remembrance ceremonies, these big British events,” the “reality was never what we were sold.” “And what Harry’s done here is he’s laid it bare. So I wonder if that feels as dire for them on a personal level because what Harry is saying is they were never actually the buddies that we were led to believe they were,” the expert added. It’s worth noting that in his latest BBC interview, the Duke of Sussex discussed reconciliation with King Charles and admitted that some members of the royal family will not “forgive him” for his memoir.
