It can’t have escaped any royal observer – no matter how minimally you pay attention to them – that Prince William and Harry are not on good terms.

In fact, it got so that they can’t be in the same room together, even if one of them was making the appearance from a digital device.
In case you don’t understand what I’m talking about, refer to the Thursday Princess Diana Awards and you’d be well up to speed.
Anyway, while Harry boldly called brother Prince William his “arch-nemesis” in his “Spare” memoir, a royal expert believes William might have been jealous of Harry’s shining popularity when they were younger. How did the expert put it again… Oh, Harry was the “jester” of the family.
Prince William Might Have Been “Nervous” Of Harry’s Popularity Growing Up, Expert Claims
A new documentary set to premiere on Channel 5 next week gave an indepth look into the relationship that existed between two of Diana’s sons.

As a bodyguard to the family for six years, Ken Wharfe was made privy to a lot of family secrets – like the Diana affair for one – and he got to see firsthand William and Harry’s relationship growing up.
For those who saw the young princes grow up, they can’t have failed to see the different approaches they took to coping under the public eye. While William was very much reserved, Harry didn’t care if he was photographed partying naked with strippers in Los Vegas.
As a result of this, Harry was embraced by the public as the “fun” one, which is something that could have likely upset William at the time.
Speaking on the documentary, Wharfe said, “Harry was always the joker, the entertainer. I suppose it would be quite common for the sort of sibling rivalry that was, for the eldest William to be slightly nervous or envious of Harry because he was so popular.”

He added: “But he was the entertainer, you could almost say he was the court jester at that time. So in that sense I think William found it slightly different, but they were funny.”
These days, there’s very little in the line of having a relationship that exists between the two.
William’s made it clear he means to focus on his family and his royal duties, whereas Harry is content having fun in Hollywood. At the moment, he’s reportedly having a blast at a skiing trip with Kris Jenner’s boyfriend, Corey Gamble.
