Rift between William and Harry?

[velveteenwabbit]

Do you think the rumours of a rift between the two are true? I thought the press may be blowing it out of proportion then saw they've disbanded their joint charity, ok fair enough they each have their own families etc... but today on William's birthday Harry and Meghan's Instagram account have posted a very basic "happy birthday to the duke of Cambridge" without any affection at all. Makes me think the rift must be true.

I reckon about 3 posts until someone slates Meghan (if that!!)

I didn't wish my brother happy birthday on Facebook, so I must really hate him! I went to his house for dinner with a card and presents though, but that must not be real, because I didn't demonstrate my affection to the world. And anyway, who cares? Who wants to spend their life as a third wheel?

You're probably right, though I don't know why, I think Meghan is a breath of fresh air.

@noodlenosefraggle but you're not (I presume) in the RF, where appearances really do matter and the people involved know that. Everything is very publicly managed, so to do the absolute bare minimum is a clear signal.

I thought it was all a load of media bollocks at first, but they don't appear as close as in past years. It's a shame if there is a rift as they always seemed to have a really good relationship.

The posts to Charles and Phillip were both far more warm and affectionate. I agree it's a clear signal. My own personal wild guess is that there has been a rift between the brothers. They both look very stone-faced when near each other. Harry is literally going to need to bow to William in the not so distant future and I'm not sure he's comfortable with it. Ultimately if he remains a royal he will be working for William who clearly does know it.

No i don't think there's a rift between William and Harry, although maybe not a close as they used to be, there both married with a family maybe don't see one another as often as before, but that goes for most families, there both doing there own thing outwith of Royal engagements, Harry used to visit William and Kate a lot before he was married his life has changed now. Who knows what goes on behind closed door's, i never believe everything that i read in the paper's.

There have been rumours going on for a while about a rift and lately they were connected to Harry's disapproval of William's alleged affair. He has been seen in public being his usual self with Kate but cold or ignoring his brother. I saw something this week about them supposedly trying to repair it but to keep an eye on the joint charity to see how successful it was.

Blind Gossip has had a fair few blinds on all of this.

Yes if I had to guess I'd say it's down to William's alleged affair too and I think Harry is angry that William allows the public to speculate that the rift is down to Meghan.

@TazzaRazza i don't believe Harry doesn't like the idea of having to bow to William, he bow's to his grandmother and maybe one day his father, Harry will alway's have more freedom than William in the future, Harry won't be working for William when William is King, he may do some engagements on behalf of his brother which Charles is doing now for his mother, they both have there own staff and discuss what engagements they will do, William wont organise Harry, Engagements abroad are organised by the government and palace staff.

Such rubbish William has never had an affair, tabloid crap

How do you know he hadn't had an affair? We know nothing about these people. They are a carefully managed machine, all designed for their own survival.

Awful to speculate on an alleged rift based on unconfirmed sources and zero evidence. Suggestions of an affair and a dislike of a wife are just tittle tattle and idle gossip.

They are siblings, siblings fall out and make up all the time. They may well have just had a ding ding and it is being made into a rift.

Who knows what goes on behind closed door's, i never believe everything that i read in the paper's.

This. The papers love shit stirring and whether it’s true or false there’s plenty of people that want to believe the worst.

@noodlenosefraggle I'm convinced that William hasn't had an affair that is why he waited so long to marry Kate, he wanted to make sure she was the right one, he also remembers the damage and hurt an affair done to his parent's marriage

I think there was an affair; all the happy family PR opps that have happened recently prove it in my mind. It’s really changed my opinion of them all; Kate for putting up with it, Wills for dipping his wick; the whole sorry establishment for putting on such a cynical show of “leading” us.

The press are not privy to what goes on in the palace so I do wish they'd stop inventing bollocks and get on with actually reporting some facts for a change but they'll probably carry on spouting crap until they get the pants sued off them

Well to use a recent video clip I have seen of Mila Kunis and Ashton Kutcher reading a tabloid story about their split ... whilst together, I think the facts are minimal and possibly skewed. Maybe they aren’t as close as they were, or maybe they’ve fallen out? Realistically we will never know much about our best friend’s marriage, let alone the RF’s inner family drama

I don't really follow any of this to be honest but on reading that they were separating the charity my first thought was that harry has been seen for ages since William married as the single kid brother who they join up with for projects. Not judged but not seen as being as important as "the couple"

I think harry now that he is married would probably want to branch out on his own with his wife and establish himself (themselves) as a separate entity, a separate royal. A distinct separate branch with his family to his brother and his family.

Also they are on very different roads due to the eventual crown going to William so they have to separate and establish their futures so that when the day comes that they can't work together they already have their own unique projects.

Do posters like you OP never stop? What on Earth is wrong with you?

I think that William has an inappropriate relationship with another woman and Harry is angry about it , particularly as his wife is getting all the blame
Harry and Kate are very close and still seem to get on.
I have noticed that William and Kate have been doing more photo calls involving their children, which I suspect is because they want to deflect attention away from the alleged affair

How can you say that, Teddybear? How do you know??

I have a friend in the US who sends me photos of some of the insane headlines the National Enquirer runs, and nobody in their right mind would think they’re accurate.

If William did have an affair, I can’t believe it wouldn’t have been leaked in the uk.

It has been leaked in the UK, just not anywhere that could be sued for going against an injunction.
