Rift between William and Harry?

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.

You've been corrected about Belgium

I’ve been “corrected” 😂

FYI the British Empire no longer exists, so the RF can't do anything to affect it

Oh my god. My post dripping was sarcasm. I know people who are attracted to teaching have the reputation of being odd but this is too much.

No one knows IF anyone fell out with who. Did Kate & Meghan have a bust up? Anyone here present for it? How’s it been confirmed? The 2 women look perfectly fine in each other’s company. They may not be best friends but they don’t need to be. They are SILS they just need to be polite to each other. The press are probably manufacturing a feud where there isn’t one for their own agenda.

LittleKitty I agree that Harry would not enjoy that lifestyle, but it's probably what Meghan will persuade him to do eventually. However I can't think of any other Royals who have given up their roles to move abroad, apart obviously from David and Wallis!! I do think Harry feels an obligation and a duty towards the Queen and his father who will be King. It would be a big deal for him to turn his back on everything he's been trained to do and make such a big break. My guess is that he is smitten by Meghan and entranced by her celebrity friends and different way of looking at the world at the moment. However, longer term I think their differences will become more and more apparent. She will strain to get away and he will be caught between a rock and a hard place.

Wait..... Popbitch isn't a critically acclaimed source of journalism!!?

I'm devastated. I'll have to seek another, more trustworthy, outlet for my information. Like the Daily Mail.

I know it's amazing how many times Cher has died & has a 21 year old lover.

Yep my Aunt Fanny was shagging the DofE some years ago

Twinkly you've given me the Beach Boys 'I get around' earworm.

The reported fall out according to a lot of places happened because William told Harry he was moving too fast by asking Meghan to marry him. Yet at the wedding they were all smiles and chatting.

I think the reason for them being cold towards each other happened after the wedding.

No-one will know for sure unless they release a statement about it.

Bluerussian · 26/06/2019 16:07

I doubt William's remark caused a rift, he said it out of concern and, in fairness, Harry and Meghan's relationship did move fast, particularly as it was a long distance courtship for much of the time. However, by the time they were living together and then engaged, I imagine people put any misgivings to one side. It was so obvious how much they loved each other on their wedding day and they are not kids, they were more than ready for commitment.
