This is when rift between Prince William and Prince Harry escalated
Prince William and Prince Harry: The book claimed that William sent a WhatsApp message to Harry asking if they could meet following the interview.
The rift between Charles III's and late Diana's sons- Prince William and Prince Harry deepened after the latter said no to William's request to meet following an interview in 2019 in which Prince Harry snubbed his brother.
"We are certainly on different paths at the moment, but I will always be there for him, and as I know he will always be there for me," Prince Harry had then said.
