The key moment, which initiated tensions<\/a> between Prince William<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Prince Harry<\/a>, has been pinpointed by experts. The Prince of Wales and the Duke of Sussex were once very close when they were younger.<\/p>\n

But shortly after the Duke\u2019s marriage to Meghan Markle<\/a> in 2018, their brotherly relationship became very frosty<\/a>, with the Sussex couple quitting their royal duties and moving to the US in early 2002. Now a royal expert has weighed in on a conversation between the two of them, which is allegedly when their relationship began to unravel.<\/p>\n

Royal commentator Katie Nicholl claimed the feud between William and Harry could have started as early as 2017.<\/p>\n

She told the Sun: \u201cI think the moment that we realised that there were tensions between the brothers was after I printed a story in Vanity Fair about William just urging Harry to take his time because they were engaged.<\/p>\n

\u201cOf course, William had taken many years before he proposed to [Princess Catherine] because he wanted her to be his wife. He wanted her to be able to know that this was what she wanted for her life too.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd I think, you know, what was meant to be well-intended brotherly advice landed really badly with Harry.\u201d<\/p>\n

The royal correspondent added: \u201cAnd I think it was the start of the real unravelling of their relationship.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, Harry really, it really hurt him that he felt he didn\u2019t have his brother\u2019s backing over Meghan.\u201d<\/p>\n

Royal author Robert Jobson agreed, saying: \u201cI think that William was, you know, like any brother, was probably just keeping an eye out for him by saying, do you think this is happening rather quickly?<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat do you really know about this girl? Should you not spend some more time getting to know her? Which had a bad reaction.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was really, really unhappy about that. He couldn\u2019t reconcile himself about that.<\/p>\n

\u201cPost then, it\u2019s just been a gradual unravelling of the relationship. I\u2019d been told that at Christmas, when Harry and Meghan went to stay with William and Kate.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The key moment, which initiated tensions between Prince William\u00a0and\u00a0Prince Harry, has been pinpointed by experts.
