As the only children of Princess Diana, Prince William and Prince Harry were raised differently from many royals who came before them. For instance, Diana would reportedly take them to McDonald’s and accompany them to school herself instead of a nanny. However, the relationship between William and Harry appeared to change in the aftermath of Prince Harry’s exit from the UK with Meghan Markle in 2020.
Prince Harry married Meghan Markle on May 19, 2018, in a beautiful ceremony in St George’s Chapel, Windsor Castle.
Prince William acted as Harry’s best man during the service attended by the Queen and all other members of the Royal Family.
Prince Charles even walked Meghan down the aisle at the wedding as her father Thomas Markle was unable to attend.
When Harry and Meghan began dating, they along with Prince William and Kate Middleton became known as the ‘Fab Four’.

The four senior royals were photographed at Sandringham and often at royal engagements looking very happy.
However, according to a body language expert, the relationship between the two brothers deteriorated over the next few years to become more like “strangers”.
Judi James spoke exclusively to Express.co.uk about the body language “evolution” between William and Harry.
Judi said: “When we look at the body language timeline of brothers William and Harry we can see the glaring evolution from complimentary brothers in what appears to be an almost exclusive, tightly-bonded relationship to men acting like strangers.
DON’T MISS:
“Their animosity is barely hidden by any mask of civility as they bump up against each other in public like land mines primed to explode.
“As young boys, their body language suggested dissimilar personality traits that formed a complimentary ‘fit’ when they were together.
“With their mother very much the third party when it came to fun and spontaneously emotional, loving responses, William tended to adopt a slightly more adult and conscientious approach.
“Meanwhile Harry, like his mother, was all about naughtiness and pranks.
“As Harry’s wingman, William provided an almost paternal presence alongside the infamous banter and competitive traits they shared.
“As William’s wingman, Harry was the man to lighten the load for the brother born into a sense of destiny, duty and responsibility.
“William had the status while Harry had more freedom and the potential for more irresponsible fun.
“When Kate came on the scene the balance and the complementary characteristics remained and even possibly strengthened.
“Kate and Harry’s body language together always suggested a sense of being partners in crime.
“With Kate, William became what must have been an even stronger parental presence in Harry’s life and a stable base when he was fighting wars or globe-trotting.”
Princes William and Harry’s relationship as brothers will continue to be documented tonight on BBC2 in the programme ‘The Princes and the Press’.
The programme is a continuation of the first episode which aired last week.
