In a word, Harry thinks that his older brother envies him. Yes, he really goes there. The clip was filmed while Harry was in the military, the same military he infamously threw under a bus then bizarrely claimed to love.
Royal Family News – Prince Harry Is A Civilian Now
In the clip Harry the Duke of Sussex looks like a 12-year old and seems completely unfazed by the dangerous environment. According to him he was disappointed that William was not there with him. Peach fuzz faced Harry told the reporter, “There is a bit of jealousy, not just the fact that I get to fly this [an Apache helicopter] but he’d love to be around here.”
“To be honest, I don’t see why he couldn’t. His job out here would be flying the IRT [Immediate Response Team], or whatever, doing Chinook missions. Just the same as us. No one knows who’s in the cockpit.”

Except that even then Prince Harry didn’t seem to grasp the fact that he is the spare while William is the heir. The heir to the throne, Harry, the future king of England. People like that don’t buzz around war zones. Sheesh, is this guy for real?
It gets better, as Harry keeps on clacking, while staring off into the foreground. According to him, there was no reason why members of the Royal Family should not be in the firing line if troops on the ground were facing the same dangers.
“Yes, you get shot at,” the then-28-year-old prince said.

“But if the guys who are doing the same job as us are being shot at on the ground, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with us being shot at as well.”
“People back home will have issues with that, but we’re not special. The guys out there are. Simple as that.”
Comments on the resurfaced clip reveal that Prince Harry is an acquired taste. Many toasted him for his naivete but there were some who saluted him for his military service, no matter how pampered and protected he might have been.
“Like or dislike him…he fought for the country,” wrote one. Someone else said, “At least he earned the medals he wears and not just given ceremonially.”
