Prince William’s Emotional Prince Harry Message Goes Viral amid Princess Kate Cancer treatment

Prince William’s emotional account of his rift with Prince Harry to a U.K. newspaper has gone viral after the Duke of Sussex visited Britain to meet King Charles III following his cancer diagnosis.

The Prince of Wales had shared his feelings about his damaged relationship with his younger brother with Martin Ivens, then editor of The Sunday Times, over a beer at a pub in South London, England.

The pair met on October 11, 2019, days after Harry confirmed their falling out on camera for the first time during the filming of ITV documentary Harry & Meghan: An African Journey, which was still days away from being released.

William told Ivens: “I’ve put my arm around my brother all our lives and I can’t do that anymore; we’re separate entities. “I’m sad about that. All we can do, and all I can do, is try and support them and hope that the time comes when we’re all singing from the same page. I want everyone to play on the team.”

The quote resurfaced and went viral on TikTok after Harry’s 11,000-mile round trip from California to London to see his father Charles in the wake of his cancer diagnosis. The post was viewed more than 741,000 times and liked more than 23,000 times. Following their meeting, Ivens kept William’s views to himself for several months until Harry and wife Meghan Markle quit as working royals in January 2020, when he splashed the quote across the front page of the newspaper. He later recounted the meeting in an article for Bloomberg, arguing William was, in reality, steelier than he comes across publicly: “That steel was in evidence when his brother, for so long a comrade-in-arms after the death of their mother, Diana, appeared to go off the reservation and embarked upon a war against the press.
