Break all the chatter about Prince William and Prince Harry's fairy

Well, it happened.

The week started with one of the first signs Prince Harry and Prince William really broke up, so to speak. Less than a month after the palace shared this Queen Elizabeth II "accepted the creation of a new household", for Harry and his wife, Meghan MarkleIt became official on Instagram, launching @sussexroyal signifying an official break with the @kensingtonroyal account that the couple has already shared with William and his wife Kate Middleton.

Now the separation has become physical. After months of preparation and many renovations, Harry and Meghan finally decided to settle in Frogmore Cottage. Their new Windsor Castle was dug just a few weeks before welcoming their first child together.

The news was accompanied by relatives of the newlyweds who told themselves how great the move in the country, said a friend of the family. Peopleboth felt "claustrophobic" during their two-bedroom Kensington Palace searches. Another noted how a change of address would be "healthy" for the future family of three. "I guess it must be nice to go out and leave," said the friend. "No neighbors who are all family or staff [at Kensington Palace]they will now have their own thing. "

Granted, their own thing will take place just 25 miles (25 miles) on the 20-room Kensington Palace Palace road from William and Kate, a simple jump for two princes with literally everything at their disposal.

And seeing the two brothers hearing at the world premiere of Netflix Our planet Thursday's series did a lot to challenge the story of the sibling war, as did the royal insider interviews, pointing out that splitting their shared royal home is quite normal. After all, no one has ever made much of the fact that prince Charles, apparent heir to the British throne since birth, does not share an office with his brothers and sisters Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Edward.

However, now that this is happening, the end-of-era feeling of this era is quite different. And all the talk about brothers having a bit of a quarrel lately appear legitimate.

Admittedly, both had their say growing up in the eyes of the public.

When they discovered that they were living together in 2009 while they were both studying to become helicopter pilots with the Royal Air Force, Harry boasted that it was "better" that William ", while the 36-year-old future king joked about the way he was helping his younger brother, 34, passes the exams" a lot, he needs a lot of help ".

As for what it was like to live together again nearly a decade after attending Eton College, "It was quite a moving experience," William snapped. "I cook for him and feed him every day." When asked if Harry took care of the housework, he replied, "He does some dishes, but he leaves most of them in the sink, and then he comes back in the morning and I have to wash."

"Oh, lies," Harry retorted.

With these comings and goings so light, it was easy to subscribe to the story about two brothers close to the age, Charles and Princess Diana welcoming Harry just 27 months after the birth of their first son, in 1982, even closer by extraordinarily tragic circumstances.

And, as everyone said, they share a unique bond: they are the only ones who can really understand what it's like to grow up with the eyes of the world that train on them and suffer the worst rips in the world. public opinion.

"The relationship between my brother and me is narrower than it has been because of the situations we experienced," noted William at an appearance in 2018 during the summer break. an event for the Campaign Against Living charity. "Losing our mother at a young age has helped us through this difficult time together.You are of the same opinion.You are living similar things, it's a link and it's something you know you have faced together and you have improved.

So the idea that the two are like other brothers and sisters who sometimes bicker and who have arguments that are not summarized in a few days, maybe lead to a freeze of several weeks or months, well, it's a bit difficult to take.

Although, of course, they fought.

On his talk show TrueRoyalty.tv, The royal view, filmmaker Nick Bullen welcomes royal biographers, friends and other initiates who all have "direct knowledge of life inside the palace", he told E! New. "One of the examples is a guy called Ken Wharf, who has been Diana's bodyguard and William and Harry's bodyguard for a long time."

Relying on the boys' first days, says Bullen, Wharf explained how "they were like normal brothers who fight and argue and have rivalries between brothers and sisters." We said that these boys are closer than ever before. As brothers and they have I'm sure it's quite true, but in reality they're also brothers, brothers are scrambling and everyone is getting confused with their families. "

The royal biographer Katie Nicholl reported to Vanity Fair One of the most epic fights took place during Harry's adolescence, a period in which he admitted that he had a lot to pass for him while he was facing the life without his mother.

"I can say without fear that losing my mother at the age of 12, and therefore ending all my emotions in the last 20 years, has had a pretty serious effect on my personal life but also on my job, "he said. the TelegraphBryony Gordon for her Crazy world podcast in April 2017. "I've probably been very close to a complete breakdown on many occasions where all kinds of sorrows and kinds of lies and misconceptions and where everything comes to you under all Angles."

It was during this period that the press surprised a teenager Harry drinking and smoking, which made the young prince hard for his unwise choices. He was angry that his brother had apparently received a laissez-passer ("William had not been perfect during this period either.He was also drinking when he should not have, but because he was the heir, he got out of it, and Harry was the one who took the flak, "Nicholl told the magazine), Harry gave him silent treatment. Said Nicholl, "It took one of their assistants to persuade Harry to talk to William again because Harry was so angry."

Of course, the brothers and sisters finished repairing the fences, and when William finally decided to marry his longtime love, "two became three," Nicholl noted. "It was the royal trio, joking about the fact that Harry was the spare wheel, but in fact, they fit in very well as a trio, I think it was hope and hope that three would become four. and that we would have this fabulous quartet, a perfect title for the press, but I think the story fits very well with Kensington Palace and the Royal Family – to have this beautiful, successful, ambitious, four-man. It's not quite like that things have happened. "

Instead, when Harry brought his new girlfriend home, the woman who had left him so enamored that he had impulsively invited her to Botswana for their third date, he had been sprinkled with a bucket of cold water.

"During the early stages of the relationship, prior to the announcement of the engagement, William spoke to Harry, just wanting to make sure Harry knew what he was getting into," Nicholl said. "He expressed some concerns that things were moving too fast … It was said when Harry brought Meghan back to the palace for the first time, he was desperate to get Kate's approval." He wanted Kate and Meghan so much to be friends and strong allies, I do not think he ever said that he might not get her unconditionally from her brother. "

The words of William, undoubtedly wanted to simply be a warning from an heir who had waited nine years before engaging forever with Kate, stung, said Nicholl, "I think that Harry felt that he did not have the support of the only person he wanted to. "

Finally, dad felt the need to turn around the situation. "Harry had the impression that William was not wrapping up the red carpet for Meghan and had told him.They had a problem, which was only solved when Charles stepped in and asked for William to make an effort, "said a friend Vanity Fair. "It's at this point that the Cambridges have invited the Sussex to spend Christmas with them."

At the time, it was virtually non-existent to say that the four men disagreed. But it has steadily increased since Harry and William's vows in May 2018, with women being naturally referred to as the source of the fracture, as is likely to happen when two strong, passionate women, with as intriguing fashions as their projects of passion try to occupy the same space.

And again, it seems that it is Charles who intervened, the biographer Robert Jobson speculating on the Australian emission of the morning Sunrise in January, the Prince of Wales would surely "bang his head together" before the quartet met at Sandringham in Christmas, "and you can see it with these pictures walking together in a line."

In fact, the group did not do more than cross each other in pictures, let alone exchange cruel words in public. And the palace certainly has not talked about the current state of relations between the brothers because they are likely to ignore most personal stories that cross the press.

But recently, those who belong to the royal circles have done their part to avoid information about conflicts. As a former spokesperson, Arbiter has been among the most vocal, claiming that talking about a quarrel does make a lot of noise.

"It's all about Harry and Meghan leaving Kensington Palace to settle in Windsor," he said. We weekly, noting that the main motivation behind relocation is to earn more square feet. While William and Kate have four floors for Prince George5 Princess Charlotte, 3 and Prince LouisFor 11 months, Harry and Meghan's Nottingham Cottage had "two bedrooms, a living room and a dining room on the ground floor.There is no outdoor space and that's not enough great for a growing family. "

As for the Sussex who are creating their own yard, to operate at Buckingham Palace, just three kilometers from Kensington, "This is called evolution," he said. "The monarchy has been chosen for 1,000 years and Harry is now in his mid-thirties so it makes sense that now he is married and that he has his own interests, which he shares with his brother, but that most of them do not share with his brother, that he has his own office to direct his work, that makes sense, logistically the right thing to do. "

It's a shared point of view with other connoisseurs of palace events.

"It's very normal," historian Marlene Koenig, author of Royal Musings blog, says Town and Country. "That's what happens when members of the royal family get married." Harry is a full-time royal and he has a royal wife who works full-time – it makes perfect sense. "

Although William's role in the monarchy has been defined since the day of his birth, he will not only probably be sitting on the British throne, but he and Kate must be prepared. Lion KingI love George because he will one day be king. As the so-called "heir spared", Harry enjoys greater freedom.

This is just how things go biographer Andrew Morton explained to Vanity Fair"What people need to understand is that every prince or duke has a house, and Prince Andrew has his own house, and when Edward VIII was king, his brother Bertie had a house, and his other brothers had houses. It's probably late, and it makes sense to get the people around you to move this agenda forward when you have your own interests and charitable goals. "

This is only because the brothers have appeared as a team for so long that this natural progress is so shocking. "Two years ago, the idea of ​​leaving Harry Kensington Palace was unthinkable, but a lot has changed," a magazine source said. "He wants to be his own person, not in William's shadow."

You can still expect to see them side by side, of course. A series of mandatory Royal events (think: Trooping the Color and Commonwealth ceremonies), as well as family affairs such as Baby Sussex's baptism, ensure that there will be more images of these four fabulous together in the future, but there are working separately. "They are in their thirties and can no longer be treated as single young men," said a friend of the family People. "Now they're spreading their wings – William more than Harry since he has his three kids – but Harry starts his own – and it's time to move on."
