Prince William ‘broke royal brother’s pact’ leaving Harry heartbroken in its wake

Prince Harry described how his brother, Prince William, broke a pact they had made based on their experience growing up watching their father

Harry told how he had been left “heartbroken” after William broke an agreement the brothers made based on their experience growing up watching their father.

Prince Harry described how his brother, Prince William, broke a pact they had made not to let their offices trade negative press stories about each other. “William and I both saw what happened in our dad’s office and we made an agreement that we would never let that happen to our office,” Harry said during filming of the Netflix documentary series “Harry & Meghan.” The Duke of Sussex, 38, revealed that he was left distraught after learning that his brother’s office had been putting out negative briefings about him.

The smears started after he and his wife Meghan Markle returned from a successful 2018 tour of Australia. He claimed that the reason behind the briefings was jealousy and competition between the two Princes’ households. “I would far rather get destroyed in the press than play along with this game or business of trading,” said the Duke of Sussex, 38, “and to see my brother’s office doing the same thing that we promised the two of us would never, ever do, that was heartbreaking,” Harry admitted.

“The issue is when someone who’s marrying in, who should be a supporting act is then stealing the limelight or is doing the job better than the person who was born to do this, that upsets people,” Harry explained elsewhere in the docuseries. “It shifts the balance because you’ve been led to believe that the only way that your charities can succeed and the only way that your reputation can be grown or improved is if you’re the front page of those newspapers.”
