In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, Prince Harry was also asked about the relationship with Prince William and emphasized again that they were on “different paths”.

A myth arose about Prince Harry and Prince William in the late summer of 1997 that has lasted to the present: the story of the sad brothers united by the death of their own mother. As the two ran after Diana’s coffin, heads bowed, they opened the hearts of each. Harry and William belong together, nobody can separate the brothers, it was felt from then on.
Prince Harry on Prince William: “Are on different paths”
When asked about his relationship with William by Oprah Winfrey, Harry said on US television on Sunday evening: “You know, like I said, I love William more than anything. He’s my brother. We went through hell together. We have one shared experience. But we are on different paths. ” After all that has happened in recent years, the statement is not surprising. But it was true even before Duchess Meghan appeared on the scene. Because the brothers are on different paths. Literally. One way leads to the throne, the other doesn’t.
No matter how close the relationship between William and Harry could be – the succession to the throne alone ensures that the two have to shape their lives differently. Prince William is the future king, so the responsibility for the monarchy was placed in his cradle. Harry, on the other hand, has always been considered a hothead who inherited a lot from his mother, especially stubbornness and the rebellious. Long years before he met his current wife, Harry rebelled against the strict institution of the monarchy. He played strip poker in Las Vegas, roamed the nightclubs in London, made headlines with his relationships. Scandals that William should never have afforded in this form.
