Is William Jealous Of His Brother?
The Duke of Sussex recently visited the UK without Meghan Markle for an important charity event. However, he didn’t meet any members of the Royal Family, as reports suggest he wanted a quiet re-entry into the family. Ken Wharfe, Harry’s former bodyguard and also Princess Diana’s, noted the strong resemblance between them. He said Harry shares Diana’s entertainer spirit, a trait visible since his childhood.
Wharfe described Harry as the “court jester” when he was young, adding that Diana herself enjoyed being entertained. He also praised Prince Harry’s fun nature, explaining that he’s great in meetings and mindful of how he speaks to staff. Since Harry is much like his mother, Diana, Wharfe highlighted Diana’s generous spirit, saying, “She was a gift giver, and Harry is exactly the same.” Before stepping down from royal duties, the Duke of Sussex’s popularity even surpassed the Queen’s.
However, since October 2019, his popularity has significantly declined among the British public. In 2019, Harry was liked by 71% of those polled and disliked by 22%. The latest Statista poll shows that only 30% of people now like him, while 60% dislike him. The ex-royal bodyguard said that Prince Harry’s popularity was a source of jealousy for Prince William.
Royal watchers know that this jealousy persists, as William posted his monthly Instagram rewind just hours after Harry’s charity appearance, sparking speculation of rivalry. It’s important to note that William’s friends denied any connection between the post and Harry’s visit. They stated that the Wales social media accounts routinely post such monthly rewinds at the beginning of the following month, so there’s nothing unusual about it.
