Why is there tension between them?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In his autobiography <em>Spare<\/em>, Prince Harry portrays his older brother Prince William in a negative light. Harry owes this to the sibling rivalry that William takes part in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Keep reading to learn why the brothers aren&#8217;t on good terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-prince-harry-and-prince-william-s-sibling-rivalry\"><strong>Prince Harry and Prince William&#8217;s Sibling Rivalry<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Aside from Princess Diana, the family member Harry discusses most in <em>Spare<\/em> is his older brother William. But the real question is, do Harry and Williams get along? <strong>The brothers\u2019 relationship was contentious; Harry portrays William as petty and self-centered, often unable to celebrate Harry\u2019s successes because he\u2019s too wrapped up in sibling rivalry. <\/strong>For example, when Harry mentioned that he wanted to do conservation work in Africa, William became upset because Africa was supposed to be \u201chis\u201d project.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Prince William has been criticized by African leaders for his <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/global-development\/2018\/oct\/12\/prince-william-accused-of-white-saviour-mentality-over-wildlife-conservation-video-tanzania\">overbearing and Eurocentric approach to conservation work<\/a>. For example, the president of the African Wildlife Foundation said that the best results in conservation and anti-poaching work have come from areas where Africans are leading the efforts. Other experts say that William should be following the lead of African experts, instead of trying to make conservation \u201chis\u201d project and setting himself up as a \u201cwhite savior.\u201d)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Perhaps the most extreme example of the strife between the brothers came in 2019, when William confronted Harry about his wife, Meghan Markle. William said that she was rude, unpleasant, and impossible to please, and Harry retorted that he was just repeating lies the tabloids printed. Their argument escalated until Wiliam grabbed Harry\u2019s collar and threw him to the ground, then demanded he get up and fight back. Harry refused and instead waited for William to leave before calling his therapist to discuss the incident.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Following <em>Spare<\/em>\u2019s release, photos and videos of Prince William have emerged that\u2014according to some\u2014suggest he\u2019s had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yourtango.com\/news\/prince-william-alleged-history-anger-issues-video\">anger issues and an abusive personality<\/a> throughout much of his life. However, another report says that William\u2019s friends describe him as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.express.co.uk\/news\/royal\/1718289\/Prince-William-anger-harry-spare-claims-royal-family-retaliate-latest\">calm, patient, and dutiful<\/a>, not the sort of man who would attack his brother in anger. It\u2019s worth noting that the report never names these \u201cfriends,\u201d so the stories on both sides of this issue are little more than rumor and speculation.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Later, when Harry attended his grandfather Prince Philip\u2019s funeral in April 2021, William said that all he really wanted was for Harry and Meghan to be happy. However, Harry didn\u2019t believe him. (Shortform note: Reports\u2014citing unnamed \u201csources close to William\u201d\u2014say that the Prince is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cosmopolitan.com\/entertainment\/celebs\/a42415884\/prince-william-response-spare-leaks\/\">extremely angry<\/a> about <em>Spare <\/em>and his portrayal in it. In particular, these reports claim that William is livid about Harry sharing details of their private conversations, like the one recounted here; ironically, something that Harry criticizes the rest of the Royal Family for allegedly doing<em>.<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, as with their father Charles, Harry suspects that someone on William\u2019s staff was leaking information about him to the tabloids. Also like Charles, William was either unable or unwilling to intervene. (Shortform note: William has, so far, <a href=\"https:\/\/people.com\/royals\/prince-william-ignores-reporter-prince-harry-spare\/\">not responded to questions<\/a> about <em>Spare<\/em>, his alleged leaking of stories to the press, or the brothers\u2019 physical fight,<em> <\/em>nor has he issued any official statement about his brother\u2019s memoir<em>.<\/em>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-heir-vs-the-spare\">The Heir vs. the \u201cSpare\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Further complicating the brothers\u2019 relationship was the fact that William is the heir-apparent to the throne, while Harry was simply a \u201cspare\u201d; a backup plan in case something should happen to William. <strong>Harry claims not to resent this fact: It\u2019s simply how things are, and he says there\u2019s no sense in getting upset over it. <\/strong>However, he was always aware that he was a secondary concern\u2014William got the first and best of everything, while Harry was an afterthought, if people thought of him at all.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Shortform note: Younger children of royalty have suffered from their positions <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/style\/2021\/09\/prince-harry-history-of-royal-spare\">all throughout history<\/a>. They\u2019re trained from birth for roles that they\u2019ll most likely never hold, leaving them frustrated, aimless, and depressed.
