Prince Harry wanted Diana “all to himself,” leaving William in a bind


Prince Harry and Prince William were revealed to have never been close as children.

The Duke of Sussex and the Prince of Wales, who are currently not speaking following Harry's bombshell interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, weren't the best of friends back then either.

Royal expert Ingrid Seward admits she spoke to Princess Diana while she was still alive and discussed concerns surrounding the two brothers.

She said: Obviously she really tried to help him, but all Harry really wanted was to have his mother to himself.

“Sometimes he would pretend to be sick at school so she would pick him up and take him home so he could sit and watch TV with her all afternoon. He was a very touchy-feely child. Very close to his mother.”

Ms Seward continued: “I remember after William went on his sabbatical, after Operation Raleigh, Harry said ‘he’s much nicer now’, so this myth that Harry and William were very close is a myth.

“They only became very close after their mother died. Of course, they bonded and were the only people who knew what it felt like.

“But they weren’t very close when they were young.”
