A royal expert has recalled how Prince Harry once told him that he 'resents' the misconception that his older brother Prince William is the 'sensible' royal sibling. Royal commentator and journalist Duncan Larcombe remembered meeting Harry, now 35, for a drink in 2008 after the results of the inquest into the death of his mother, the late Princess Diana, were published. The British writer told the Ok! magazine that he spotted the first signs of 'unresolved anger' Harry was harbouring, over his lack of control over his own destiny and what was being said about his mother. According to the expert, Harry has 'never been able to shake his discomfort at not being 'normal', and how his public image has been portrayed compared to that of his brother, 38, despite him 'often offering William advice'.
Royal commentator Duncan Larcombe told the publication how he met Harry for a drink after the results of the inquest into his mother's death were published 12 years ago. He said: 'Harry was absolutely furious that his father's advisors had put out a statement. That was a sign to me that he has inbuilt, unresolved anger about having no control of what's said. This desire to control his own destiny has always been there.'
He added: 'Harry has never been able to shake that resentment of not feeling normal either. It's a shame that no one has said to him, 'Your brother wants what's best for you.' Harry once told me that he really resents the perception that William's the sensible one while he's the loose cannon. He said there were times when it was actually Harry giving William advice.'
In new royal biography Finding Freedom, authors Omid Scobie and Carolyn Durand lay bare the rumoured rift between the Princes. Kate and Prince William are currently staying at Amner Hall in Norfolk with Prince William and the couple's children Prince George, seven, Princess Charlotte, five, and Prince Louis, two. Meanwhile, Meghan and Prince Harry are living in Tyler Perry's mansion in Los Angeles and their son Archie, one. The authors detail how Kate 'did little to bridge the divide' with Meghan, while sources have said that the Duchess of Cambridge had 'definitely sided with her husband. Reports of a rift first surfaced amid reports that William told Harry he should 'take things slowly' with Meghan before rumours arose that Kate told Meghan what her flower girls should be wearing for her 2018 wedding to Harry.
The reports intensified when the Sussexes moved out of their Kensington Palace abode, where the Cambridges are based, to Windsor Castle. Speaking about the new book which describes the brothers' conversations as 'stilted' this week, royal author Andrew Morton called the divide between Prince Harry and Prince William 'just a very sad situation', explaining that the duo have now 'gone their separate ways.'
